What is Capex?
In business, Capital Expenditure (Capex) is the money a company spends to buy, maintain, or upgrade its physical, long-term assets. Think of it like running a delivery business. Your standard operating expenses are daily gas and driver wages. Capex is the major investment you make to buy a brand-new fleet of trucks to expand your delivery routes.
Common examples include building new factories, purchasing heavy machinery, or upgrading major technology systems. For everyday investors, Capex provides a window into a company’s future. A massive Capex bill might reduce a company’s free cash flow for the quarter. However, if the business is actively investing in its own expansion, it often sets the stage for much bigger profits down the road.
