Intel’s CapEx Tops $20B on Server Demand While PC Volume Shrinks: ITAD Firms Should Plan for Two Separate Asset Cycles
Intel’s second quarter added a concrete data point to what has otherwise been a quarter of announcements: the company is raising 2026 capital spending to more than $20 billion, roughly $3 billion above its prior plan, and told investors that 2027 spending will go significantly higher still. This capital plan carries more weight for the end-of-life sector than the earnings beat. It points to the size of the fleet now entering production.
Alphabet’s 2Q2026 Results: More Capital Spending and Cloud Backlog
Alphabet’s Q2 2026 earnings call put a number on the AI buildout: $44.9 billion in quarterly capex, with guidance raised to $195–$205 billion for the year. For ITAD and recycling providers, the real story isn’t the revenue growth, it’s the asset volume that spending signals down the line.

Corporate Strategy: Blancco Bets on the Drive, Not the Device, as It Chases a Recover-First IT Market
Blancco is rebuilding its business around the ‘drive’, not the device, betting that surging AI infrastructure and component scarcity are pushing ITAD from “destruct-first” to “recover-first.” The company’s new strategy centers on data-bearing drives, data center decommissioning, and mobile, positioning certified erasure and diagnostics as the backbone of a market where assets move fluidly between enterprises, processors, and secondary channels.
IBM’s 2025 Breach Data Puts ITAD Providers Inside the Vendor-Risk Perimeter
The global average breach cost at $4.44 million, according to IBM. Healthcare leads all industries at $7.42 million, followed by financial services at $5.56 million, industrial at $5.00 million, energy at $4.83 million, and technology at $4.79 million. Supply-chain compromise, where ITAD sists, ranks as the second-costliest attack vector at $4.91 million per incident, trailing only malicious insider incidents at $4.92 million. Phishing averages $4.80 million and stolen credentials $4.67 million. For ITAD providers, the supply-chain figure is the number that matters. Enterprise procurement teams now treat disposition vendors as part of the same risk perimeter as any other third party with access to sensitive data. Governance maturity, documentation quality, and audit readiness are becoming primary evaluation criteria, alongside processing capacity and recovery rates. Providers serving healthcare and financial services face buyers with the highest breach-cost exposure and the strongest incentive to demand governance-mature partners.
