Worldwide Olympic TOP partners did not outperform matched non-sponsors around the Paris 2024 Games; technology partners underperformed before the Games.
What this does not establish
Market returns do not measure Olympic exposure, recall, sentiment, engagement, footfall, purchase, sales, contract ROI, or long-term brand equity.

Aggregate sponsor advantage is null while one sector is negative; macro and firm news can dominate sponsorship signal in a 14-pair design.
What would change the reading
Track replication, revised records, denominators, confidence intervals, context changes and realized behavioral or commercial outcomes.
