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.

- Liabilities
- The company's total liabilities have exhibited a general upward trend over the observed periods, increasing markedly from the early 2020 levels to a significantly higher base in the 2022 to 2025 timeframe. Current liabilities, which make up a substantial portion of total liabilities, also followed this increasing pattern, with notable spikes around late 2021 and continuing at elevated levels thereafter. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, as major components of current liabilities, grew consistently, reflecting rising operational obligations. Long-term debt showed variability, with a notable increase beginning in early 2022, indicating increased leverage or new borrowing strategies during this period. Deferred tax liabilities surged sharply around 2021-2022, then gradually declined, suggesting significant timing differences or tax-related adjustments during these periods.
- Debt Structure
- The data reveals fluctuations in short-term borrowings primarily appearing after mid-2024, indicating intermittent reliance on this financing source. The current portion of long-term debt shows variability with sporadic presence, suggesting ongoing refinancing or debt restructuring. Long-term debt net of current portion increased substantially from 2021 onward, signaling a possible shift toward longer-term financing. The growth in long-term operating lease liabilities also suggests increasing commitments for leased assets, particularly from late 2020 through mid-2024.
- Equity and Capital Components
- Stockholders’ equity increased dramatically starting in 2021, rising from a few thousand million dollars initially to over fifty thousand million dollars and continuing a gradual, steady increase through 2025. This growth was primarily driven by a substantial rise in additional paid-in capital. Retained earnings recovered from a negative position in early years, turning positive near the end of 2022 and continuing to grow, indicating improving profitability or accumulated comprehensive profit-generating activities. Treasury stock holdings increased in absolute terms (negative values growing), suggesting ongoing stock repurchases impacting equity levels.
- Comprehensive Income Elements
- Accumulated other comprehensive income fluctuated within a relatively small range, showing no clear directional trend. This suggests that other comprehensive income items had limited impact on the overall equity compared to other factors.
- Overall Financial Position
- The total liabilities and stockholders’ equity balance grew strongly especially from late 2021, mainly propelled by a sharp increase in equity and a simultaneous expansion in liabilities. The balance sheet expansion reflects an overall growth in company size and financial activity. The interplay between increased liabilities and expanded equity suggests financing of growth through both debt and equity, maintaining a balance that facilitates operational and strategic initiatives.
