Understanding Net Capital Spending

Net Capital Spending is a key financial metric that indicates the amount of money a company has invested in acquiring or upgrading physical assets like property, plant, and equipment. It is calculated by subtracting the beginning net fixed assets from the ending net fixed assets and adding back the depreciation expense for the period.

This metric is important for understanding a company's growth and investment strategy. A positive Net Capital Spending indicates that the company is investing in its future, while a negative value may indicate that the company is selling off or reducing its fixed assets.
