Balance Sheet: Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
Quarterly Data
The balance sheet provides creditors, investors, and analysts with information on company resources (assets) and its sources of capital (its equity and liabilities). It normally also provides information about the future earnings capacity of a company assets as well as an indication of cash flows that may come from receivables and inventories.
Liabilities represents obligations of a company arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow of economic benefits from the entity.

An examination of the balance sheet information reveals several noteworthy trends in liabilities and stockholders’ equity between March 2021 and December 2025. Total liabilities generally remained substantial throughout the period, with fluctuations observed in both current and noncurrent components. Total equity also exhibited considerable values, though with more pronounced variability, particularly in the later years of the observed timeframe.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities demonstrated a generally decreasing trend from $30.811 billion in March 2021 to a low of $26.738 billion in September 2021. They then increased to $29.348 billion by December 2021 before fluctuating between approximately $27.585 billion and $34.468 billion through December 2023. A significant increase to $40.198 billion was observed in March 2024, followed by a decrease to $37.786 billion in September 2024, and a further decline to $39.581 billion by December 2024. By the end of the period, current liabilities settled at $33.524 billion. Within current liabilities, accounts payable and accrued expenses related to trade creditors remained relatively stable, fluctuating between approximately $11.148 billion and $12.707 billion. Deferred revenue showed a decrease from $3.376 billion to $2.380 billion between March 2021 and December 2022, then increased to $4.218 billion by September 2025. Accrued expenses and other current liabilities experienced significant volatility, peaking at $13.283 billion in December 2023. The current portion of debt generally decreased over the period, with a notable increase to $6.848 billion in March 2025.
- Noncurrent Liabilities
- Noncurrent liabilities exhibited a more stable pattern compared to current liabilities. They began at $98.936 billion in March 2021 and decreased to $92.718 billion by December 2021. They then increased to $95.021 billion by December 2022, before decreasing to $94.186 billion by December 2024. By December 2025, noncurrent liabilities were $92.979 billion. Deferred income taxes constituted a substantial portion of noncurrent liabilities, remaining relatively consistent between approximately $28.260 billion and $30.050 billion before decreasing to $27.788 billion by December 2025. The noncurrent portion of debt remained consistently high, fluctuating between $90.404 billion and $98.754 billion.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Total stockholders’ equity demonstrated more significant fluctuations. It started at $92.575 billion in March 2021, peaked at $97.306 billion in March 2022, and then decreased to $80.933 billion by September 2022. A recovery was observed, reaching $97.228 billion by December 2025. Retained earnings were the largest component of equity, fluctuating between $52.892 billion and $66.875 billion. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was consistently negative, with a notable decrease to -$2.525 billion by September 2023. Redeemable noncontrolling interests remained relatively small, fluctuating between $248 million and $1.581 billion.
Overall, the company maintained a substantial level of both liabilities and equity throughout the observed period. The fluctuations in current liabilities, particularly accrued expenses and the current portion of debt, warrant further investigation. The increase in deferred revenue in the later periods could indicate increased subscription or service commitments. The volatility in equity, driven primarily by changes in retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), suggests dynamic profitability and potential impacts from market fluctuations.
