Understanding R&D Spending
R&D spending represents the total amount a company invests in research and development activities. Large tech companies like Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta typically lead in absolute R&D spending, often exceeding $30 billion annually. High R&D investment can drive future growth but also increases near-term expenses.
