And this booming CapEx is maintaining economic growth strong, and that's gonna be good for the economy and for many other sectors.
And secondly, it's not just the hyperscaler Mark VII doing investment AI.
If you have any S&P 500 firm today and you don't have AI strategy, you're dead because you could be disrupted by a competitor or by tech firm or by whatever.
So everybody's trying to play with AI.
Now we're not yet seeing the significant increases
in productivity growth.
We see them at the macro level, by the way, but we don't see them for every firm.
But the profit margins for every S&P 500 firm has increased.

So there are these signs that there is this increase in productivity growth across the economy.
So everybody has to have an AI strategy.
