Apple plans $14 billion in capital expenditures for 2026, significantly less than hyperscalers spending $130–220 billion, allowing more cash for shareholder buybacks. Since 2012, Apple has spent about $840 billion on buybacks, cutting shares by 45%, which supports an expected 18.29% EPS growth in 2026.
