Source: annual reports (Form 10-K) filed with the SEC, read from SEC EDGAR company facts (XBRL). Each company’s latest fiscal year that ended in the last 18 months; only amounts reported in US dollars, so most foreign companies are not included. Each figure links to its filing. Commodity and investment trusts are left out. Capital spending that company facts lack (companies that tag it as “productive assets”, such as Amazon and Nvidia) comes from the full cash flow statement in the SEC Financial Statement and Notes data sets.
