US small businesses are pulling back on investment as if we are in a crisis:
In March, only 16% of small businesses said that they plan on investing in CapEx over the next 6 months, the lowest reading since November 2009.
This percentage has declined -12 points since November 2024.
By comparison, the pre-2008 Financial Crisis and the 2020 pandemic levels were 30-35%.
Furthermore, the proportion of firms investing in CapEx over the last 6 months has declined -9 points since January, and remains below the long-term historical average.
This comes as policy uncertainty and elevated energy costs are weighing on small businesses.
All while they cite taxes, quality of labor, and inflation as their most important problems.
Small businesses are struggling in the US.
