Risk exposure broadened materially across seven distinct themes, with no meaningful offsets — the overall picture has worsened. The most consequential escalations are in macro/geopolitical (tariffs, trade terminations, climate-driven input costs), AI/ML technology risk (newly disclosed cybersecurity, bias, and IP exposure), and regulatory compliance (expanded enforcement scope and disgorgement remedies). Governance risk is newly on the map via activist shareholder disclosure, and supply chain concentration deepened with beef and pork added to dependency disclosures.
