there's already a huge amount of forward growth baked into the valuation.
And so the market's looking for about $66 billion of revenue in their fourth quarter, which ended at the end of January.

capital spending budget for 2026.
The market's looking for about a 30% increase year over year to about $120 billion.

They're talking about $52 to $56 billion of capital spending in this coming year.
That's about $6 to $10 billion, or 15 to 20 percent higher than the market was expecting, and a big step up year on year.
