An examination of the asset composition reveals several noteworthy trends over the period from March 31, 2021, to December 31, 2025. Overall, total assets experienced considerable fluctuation, with a general upward trajectory punctuated by periods of decline. The most significant asset category, cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, demonstrated volatility, while long-term assets exhibited a more consistent growth pattern.
- Cash and Short-Term Investments
- The combined balance of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities initially increased from US$135.104 billion in March 2021 to US$142.003 billion in September 2021, before decreasing to US$113.762 billion by December 2022. A subsequent recovery occurred, peaking at US$126.843 billion in December 2025. This suggests active management of liquidity, potentially influenced by investment strategies and operational cash flow needs. Marketable securities alone followed a similar pattern, decreasing from US$118.704 billion in December 2021 to US$72.191 billion in December 2022, then increasing to US$96.135 billion in December 2023 and finally reaching US$126.843 billion in December 2025.
- Accounts Receivable
- Accounts receivable, net, showed a consistent upward trend from US$28.006 billion in March 2021 to US$62.886 billion in December 2025. This increase indicates a potential rise in credit sales or a lengthening of the collection period, or both. The most substantial increase occurred between September 2023 and December 2025, suggesting a recent acceleration in revenue recognition on credit.
- Non-Current Assets
- Non-current assets demonstrated a more stable growth trajectory. Property and equipment, net, increased steadily from US$87.606 billion in March 2021 to US$246.597 billion in December 2025, indicating ongoing investment in long-term productive assets. Goodwill also increased, albeit less dramatically, from US$22.341 billion to US$33.380 billion over the same period, potentially reflecting acquisitions. Deferred income taxes showed a significant increase from US$1.129 billion to US$9.113 billion, then to US$16.245 billion, suggesting changes in tax liabilities or the utilization of tax loss carryforwards. Non-marketable securities also increased, from US$25.294 billion to US$68.687 billion. Overall, non-current assets grew from US$154.958 billion to US$389.243 billion.
Current assets, encompassing cash, receivables, and other short-term holdings, exhibited a fluctuating pattern, peaking at US$188.143 billion in March 2021 and reaching US$206.038 billion in December 2025. The overall trend suggests a dynamic balance between liquidity management and the deployment of assets into longer-term investments. The substantial growth in both accounts receivable and property and equipment, net, suggests a focus on expanding operations and revenue generation. The fluctuations in cash and marketable securities indicate a flexible approach to capital allocation and potentially reflect responses to market conditions and investment opportunities.
