MarketWatch: Stock Market News could be leaving ~$3,835,200 in subscription & ad revenue on the table every year

Stunt Double’s 2027 agent-traffic model projects 34% of content discovery and subscription sessions in the media sector will be initiated or completed by AI agents[1][2]. MarketWatch: Stock Market News currently scores 62.4 on the Stunt Double Index[3], with a 38-point gap to the ideal agent experience (100). The loss figure below applies that gap to the projected agent-driven slice of a typical annual subscription & ad revenuebaseline for this sector — it is a directional estimate, not a measured conversion rate.
