Capital intensity: capital expenditure over revenue
Ranked from the filings of the
companies this site has read, under
.
50 of them report a figure for this; the rest are absent rather than
ranked last, because a filing that does not carry a number is not a company that scores
badly on it.
Capital expenditure is cash spent on long-lived assets: property, machines, servers. A low share of revenue means the business needs little reinvestment to keep running. It cannot separate spending for growth from spending to stand still.

It is not advice, and a high place is not a recommendation. A company can lead on one
measure and fail on every other; that is the reason this site scores five dimensions
rather than one and lets you weigh them yourself.
It also ranks only what has been read. A company whose filings are not in this database
cannot appear here however well it would have done, and a company whose filing does not
tag this figure is absent rather than last.
