#Apple was the only #BigTech company to see #capex decline YoY in Q4, dropping 17% to $2.4B. While peers like Google ($175-185B) and Amazon ($200B) plan to spend $660B combined in 2026, Apple forecasts just $14B for 2026. Apple's #assetlight #AIstrategy (outsourcing to Google and OpenAI) has become a competitive advantage. https://www.tradingkey.com/analysis/stocks/us-stocks/261560213-magnificent-seven-stocks-google-msft-amzn-meta-aapl-apple-capex-tradingkey?eicker.news #tech #media #news

The industry is currently obsessed with AI ROI, but we're measuring it through the wrong lens. Most leaders are still trying to justify AI spend by looking for immediate headcount reductions, 🤦🏻‍♂️ a "subtraction" mindset that fails to capture the "multiplication" happening beneath the surface. True AI value isn't just about doing the same things with fewer people; it’s about doing things that were previously impossible due to scale, speed, or complexity.

To find the real ROI, we have to look at "unlocked capacity." Look at your existing backlog! When an engineer uses AI to handle boilerplate code, the value isn't the hour saved; it’s the breakthrough feature they finally had time to design. When a marketer automates personalization, the value is the revenue from a segment that was previously too expensive to target. If your metrics can't account for improved decision quality or accelerated time-to-market, you aren't measuring ROI; you're just being penny-wise and pound-foolish.

🧠 The Value Trap: Focusing solely on labor cost savings ignores the broader strategic impact of AI on business growth.
⚡ Qualitative Metrics: ROI must include "soft" gains like employee satisfaction, customer experience, and risk mitigation.
🎓 Speed as Currency: Measure the reduction in "time-to-insight" and how that accelerates your competitive response.
🔍 Hybrid Frameworks: Successful CIOs are combining traditional financial KPIs with new "innovation velocity" metrics.

We are witnessing a great decoupling in the corporate world. According to BCG’s latest report, an elite 5% of companies, the "future-built", are pulling away from the pack, extracting massive value from AI, while the other 95% struggle to move beyond expensive experiments. The difference is how they handle the "virtuous cycle" of reinvestment. These leaders are already pivoting toward agentic AI, which is expected to drive nearly 30% of total AI value by 2028. While laggards view AI as a cost-cutting tool for today, the future-built view it as a revenue-generating engine for tomorrow. They aren't just saving money; they are using those savings to fund even deeper transformations in their talent and tech stacks. If you aren't reinvesting your AI wins, you aren't scaling, you're just treading water.

🧠 The Elite Gap: Only 5% of firms are "future-built," seeing outsized financial returns compared to the 60% reporting minimal value.
⚡ Agentic Shift: AI agents are set to represent 29% of all AI value by 2028, a space where leaders are already out-investing laggards.
🎓 Reinvestment Strategy: Top performers plan to spend 64% more of their IT budgets on AI in 2025, creating a compounding advantage.
🔍 Revenue vs. Cost: Leaders expect twice the revenue increase from AI initiatives than their peers by 2028.
