Summary

The October 20 debate recorded combined Big-4 CapEx holding at about $732.5B. Microsoft moving from $190B to $175B was explained as an accounting change, and Amazon's €16B investment in Germany was also recorded.

A/B Impact Analysis

This item shows the discipline behind Scenario A scoring: separating an accounting change from a real cut. While the combined total holds, the thesis premise of firm infrastructure spending stays alive. The Scenario B reply is that whether this spending converts into enough revenue to absorb rate and oil shocks is still unverified. It is logged as support, with the condition that payback metrics still have to follow.
