Balance Sheet: Assets
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.
Assets are resources controlled by the company as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity.

The financial data reveals several notable trends in the quarterly performance and asset composition over the observed periods.
- Liquidity Position
- Cash and cash equivalents fluctuated, initially increasing from 27,201 million USD in March 2020 to a peak of 73,387 million USD by December 2023, before showing some decline towards mid-2025. Marketable securities demonstrated variability, with a peak around December 2021, followed by a generally declining trend until mid-2024, after which some recovery occurred. This suggests a dynamic liquidity management approach balancing cash reserves and investments in marketable securities.
- Inventory Levels
- Inventories gradually increased from 18,857 million USD in March 2020 to over 40,825 million USD by mid-2025, reflecting potential growth in stockholding consistent with expanding operations or anticipation of future sales demand. There are periods of slight decrease or stabilization, but the overall long-term trend is upward.
- Receivables
- Accounts receivable rose steadily, from 17,836 million USD in early 2020 to more than 57,000 million USD in 2025, suggesting an increase in credit sales or extended collection cycles. This trend could imply higher revenue generation on credit terms or changes in customer payment patterns.
- Total Current Assets
- Current assets increased fairly steadily over time, rising from about 85,985 million USD to near 191,420 million USD within the five-year span, indicating growth in short-term resources available for operational needs.
- Long-term Tangible Assets
- Property and equipment increased markedly from approximately 77,779 million USD to nearly 297,616 million USD by the end of the observed period, which may reflect ongoing capital expenditure, facility expansion, or investment in technological infrastructure. Operating leases also grew substantially, showing increased commitments related to property or equipment leasing.
- Goodwill and Intangible Assets
- Goodwill remained relatively stable with slight increases, moving from around 14,739 million USD up to about 23,155 million USD. This suggests modest acquisition activity or retention of intangible asset values during the period.
- Other and Long-term Assets
- Other assets and total long-term assets exhibited consistent growth, with other assets rising from 16,456 million USD to approaching 87,854 million USD, and long-term assets overall increasing from 135,253 million USD to nearly 491,000 million USD. This highlights a significant buildup in non-current investments and resources.
- Total Assets
- Total assets expanded substantially, nearly tripling from 221,238 million USD in March 2020 to 682,170 million USD by mid-2025. This overall asset growth underlines major company expansion over the period, driven by increases in both current and non-current assets.
In summary, the data reflects a period of robust growth in asset base, with notable increases in cash reserves, inventories, receivables, property, and other long-term assets. The company appears to have pursued significant capital investments and maintained strong liquidity, balancing cash and marketable securities. The incremental rise in goodwill suggests moderate acquisition activity. The asset structure changes indicate expansion in operational capacity and scope over the analyzed quarters.
