Comparative industry capability
Hello!
I'm not quite sure of the meaning of the phrases in bold "comparative industry capability". Does it refer to competitiveness of a company in a certain industry or some other capabilities . Please kindly advise.
Context:
How you categorize your expenditures can affect your company's valuation. During an acquisition, for example, a significant amount of deferred capital spending may lower the company's overall value from a buyer's perspective. A large amount of deferred CapEx indicates that the company's overall investment in technology has not kept pace with the company's business plan, corporate strategy or comparative industry capability. These technology costs could be assumed by the buyer.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,

Hi, If you Google this phrase, you find it on the following site, as you probably know. com/analysis-a-advice/practical-advice/424-what-your-it-budget-says-about-your-organizations-value and on only two other sites, both Chinese. In other words, this is not a common and standard business phrase.

- I would read it as meaning 'the company's capability compared to other companies in the same industry'.
- But, I could be wrong.
