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.

The balance sheet exhibits a substantial expansion in total assets and funding sources, with total liabilities and stockholders’ equity growing from 10.0 billion USD in March 2021 to 79.6 billion USD by March 2026. This growth is primarily driven by a massive increase in stockholders' equity, though total liabilities have also trended upward over the analyzed period.
- Liability Structure and Current Obligations
- Current liabilities demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory, rising from 2.8 billion USD in early 2021 to 10.5 billion USD by March 2026. A significant driver of this increase was accrued liabilities, which grew from 1.7 billion USD to 5.7 billion USD. Accounts payable also showed a general upward trend, peaking at 3.4 billion USD in September 2025 before stabilizing. A temporary spike in current liabilities was noted in mid-2025, coinciding with the emergence of liabilities held for sale totaling approximately 1.9 billion USD, which were subsequently removed from the balance sheet by late 2025.
- Long-Term Debt and Deferred Obligations
- Long-term debt experienced a sharp increase in early 2022, jumping from approximately 1 million USD to 1.4 billion USD, and later peaking at 3.2 billion USD in March 2024. By March 2026, long-term debt settled at 2.3 billion USD. Conversely, deferred tax liabilities showed a marked decline, falling from a peak of 3.1 billion USD in March 2022 to 307 million USD by March 2026, suggesting a significant reversal or settlement of these obligations over time.
- Equity Evolution and Capital Composition
- Stockholders’ equity underwent a transformative increase between December 2021 and March 2022, rising from 7.4 billion USD to 55.3 billion USD. This surge was primarily attributed to a dramatic increase in additional paid-in capital, which rose from 11 billion USD to over 63 billion USD by 2026. This suggests a major capital event or acquisition during the first quarter of 2022.
- Retained Earnings and Share Repurchases
- A pivotal shift in profitability is evident in the retained earnings account, which evolved from an accumulated deficit of 4 billion USD in March 2021 to a positive surplus of 8 billion USD by March 2026. This transition indicates a move toward sustained net income generation. Simultaneously, there was an aggressive expansion of treasury stock, moving from -141 million USD to -7.4 billion USD, reflecting a consistent and increasing commitment to share buybacks throughout the period.
- Overall Solvency and Leverage Trends
- Despite the increase in total liabilities from 3.5 billion USD to 15.1 billion USD, the company maintained a highly equity-heavy capital structure. The growth in stockholders' equity far outpaced the growth in debt, resulting in a strengthened solvency position and a reduced reliance on external leverage relative to the total size of the balance sheet.
