AI adoption is creating permanent valuation bifurcation in trading: technology-enabled operators achieve 10-14x EBITDA versus 5-7x for traditional peers. AI-enabled traders show 2-4 percentage point gross margin improvements, 15-25% working capital cycle reductions, and 20-35% lower customer acquisition costs.
