prediction
If the virtuous cycle is confirmed, slowing Capex could instead be the starting point for investment efficiency and FCF recovery, but if monetization of final demand is delayed, utilization, unit prices and OCF recovery will also be delayed and the timing of normalizing the AI investment cycle will be pushed back.

해당 선순환 확인 시, Capex 둔화가 오히려 투자 효율화와 FCF 회복의 출발점이 될 수 있으나, 반대로 최종 수요의 수익화 지연 시 가동률·단가·OCF 회복도 늦어지고, AI 투자 사이클의 정상화 시점도 지연될 것
