Questions about this company
- How much of SPX Technologies, Inc.'s working time is within reach of AI?
- An estimated 19% now and 39% by the end of 2028, on METR's long-run pace at four in five, from the workforce SPX Technologies, Inc.'s own annual report describes and BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. It is an estimate with a stated method. It is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings, and it says nothing about what the company will do.
- How many people does SPX Technologies, Inc. employ?
- 4,700 as of December 31, 2025, as its annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025 states. About 75% in the U.S.
- What kinds of work make up SPX Technologies, Inc.'s workforce?
- Read from its annual report as a blend of 3 industry staffing patterns, the largest Machinery Manufacturing (3331, 3332, 3334, and 3339 only); by those patterns the work is about 42% desk work, 16% people work and 42% body work. Each share has a one-sentence reason on this page that can be checked against the filing.
- What does SPX Technologies, Inc.'s annual report say about AI?
- 1 sentence in the filing name AI. Its annual reports for fiscal 2021 to 2025 name it in 1, 1, 0, 1 and 1 sentences, year by year. They are counted and quoted on this page, never judged: a count says how much a filing talks about AI, not what the company does with it.
- How is this estimated?
- Claude Fable 5.1 read the annual report under the Index's written rubric (version 1) on October 20, 2026: the stated headcount, the share in the U.S. when stated, and the workforce as a blend of industry staffing patterns. The estimates are the site's industry estimates weighted by those shares, from O*NET tasks with estimated lengths and METR's measurements of how long a task AI models can finish. A company can write to info@stratussc.com to have its reading checked against its filing.
