PAC

AI companies are pouring over $20 million into a New York Democratic primary, shaping the race for federal AI policy. Two super PACs, Leading the Future and Public First Action, backed by AI giants like Andreessen Horowitz and Anthropic, are clashing. The election’s outcome could set a precedent for US AI regulation, with one PAC favoring innovation and the other advocating for stringent safety measures and oversight.

Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico (PAC) reported Q4 2025 revenue growth of 2.8% driven by aeronautical and non-aeronautical segments. However, rising operating costs and adverse currency movements impacted profitability, leading to a 34.3% decrease in comprehensive income. Jamaican operations were significantly affected by a hurricane. Despite these headwinds, PAC maintained strong liquidity and saw full-year passenger traffic increase. Investor attention is focused on cost management and currency risk mitigation.

The AI industry is launching “Leading the Future,” a $125 million PAC, to influence AI regulation. The group aims to support candidates advocating for a unified national approach, fearing fragmented state-by-state rules could stifle innovation. Backed by tech leaders, the PAC is already targeting candidates like Alex Bores and supporting Chris Gober, signaling a bipartisan strategy to shape AI policy and maintain US leadership.

Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacifico (NYSE: PAC) reported strong Q2 2025 results with a 49.9% revenue surge to Ps. 10.9 billion, driven by 26.4% and 41.8% increases in aeronautical and non-aeronautical services respectively. Passenger traffic rose 4.1% to 15.9 million. EBITDA increased 31.1% to Ps. 5.5 billion, with a 67.1% margin. Comprehensive income decreased 22.8% to Ps. 2.2 billion due to currency translation. PAC refinanced debt, securing a Ps. 3.4 billion credit facility.
