AI vs. other (FY2026)
Methodology: total capex reflects reported cash-flow actuals where available and forward estimates aligned to earnings guidance and analyst consensus otherwise. AI-attributed figures are editorial estimates of the AI / data-center share and are not a reported line item. Every figure links to a source on its company page. Estimates are subject to change.
