Capex forecasting estimates future capital expenditure such as equipment, infrastructure, and major projects. It helps organisations plan investment timing, manage cash impact, and align spending with strategic priorities rather than reacting opportunistically.

Linking capex ensures depreciation, cash flow, and balance sheet impacts remain consistent and decision-ready.

Most teams update capex forecasts quarterly or when major projects change.
