Right now, the market is forcing us to look at this ratio. We are in a massive CapEx war. Check these numbers for Q1 2026:
🏦
$MSFT
CapEx is exploding (
$37.5B in a single quarter), but Azure growth slightly cooled to 39% . They are spending 66% more than last year just to keep the lead. The market hates the short-term margin squeeze .
📺
$GOOGL
Guiding for
$175B -
$185B in 2026 CapEx (nearly double 2025) . Cloud revenue is up 48% YoY, but free cash flow took a hit last quarter. The
$240B backlog is great, but can they convert it efficiently?
📦
$AMZN
The big spender. Planning
$200B in 2026 CapEx . The market reacted violently ( -12% in Feb) because FCF shrunk 70% YoY .
