I need both Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT) to compare their capital expenditures. Let me find their tickers (AAPL is confirmed) and load the data.Good, I have the data. Now let me compute annual summaries with both raw capex and year-over-year growth, then show them as a table and chart.Now let me also chart this. I need a wide DataFrame for charting.

Loading chart...Apple vs Microsoft — Annual Capital Expenditures (FY 21–25)

Key Takeaways:

• Microsoft's capex has exploded — $23.9B in FY22 to $64.6B in FY25, a 170% increase over three years, driven by massive AI/cloud infrastructure investment. The last two years alone grew at 58% and 45% YoY.
• Apple's capex has stayed relatively flat, hovering around $10–12B annually, consistent with its asset-light model where manufacturing is outsourced. FY25's jump to $12.7B (+35%) is notable but still a fraction of Microsoft's spend.
• Microsoft now outspends Apple on capex by ~5x — a dramatic gap that reflects the fundamentally different business models: Microsoft builds hyperscale data centers; Apple designs products others manufacture.
