Accounts Payable
The accounts payable balance exhibited an overall upward trend from March 2020 through June 2025, increasing from approximately $40 billion to nearly $98 billion. Some fluctuations occurred, notably a decrease during early 2022, followed by periods of growth toward the end of the period.
Current Portion of Operating Lease Liabilities
This liability steadily increased over the period, moving from around $3.3 billion in March 2020 to over $11.5 billion by June 2025. The growth indicates an increasing short-term obligation related to operating leases.
Current Portion of Finance Lease Liabilities
This component showed a clear downward trend, decreasing from about $9.8 billion in March 2020 to roughly $1.4 billion by June 2025, indicating a reduction in short-term finance lease obligations.
Current Portion of Long-Term Debt
This liability displayed variability, with some sharp increases noted around mid to late 2022, peaking in December 2023 at approximately $8.5 billion, before declining somewhat by mid-2025.
Other Current Liabilities
Amounts classified as "Other" and "Accrued Expenses and Other" generally rose over time. The "Other" category increased from $16 billion to nearly $49 billion by mid-2025, while accrued expenses increased from about $31 billion to over $66 billion, reflective of growing operational or accrued obligations.
Unearned Revenue
Unearned revenue exhibited a consistent upward movement, more than doubling from approximately $8.9 billion to over $21.6 billion by mid-2025, signaling growth in deferred income, possibly from subscriptions or prepayments.
Total Current Liabilities
Current liabilities increased from around $79.7 billion in March 2020 to approximately $187 billion by June 2025, reflecting rising short-term payable and accrued obligations over the analyzed period.
Long-Term Lease Liabilities
Long-term operating lease liabilities excluding the current portion increased steadily from about $24 billion to over $73 billion by mid-2025, while finance lease liabilities decreased from roughly $16.5 billion to under $10 billion. The net effect was an increase in total long-term lease liabilities from about $40 billion to $83 billion.
Long-Term Debt (excluding current portion)
This category reached a peak around mid-2021 at over $50 billion, followed by a gradual decline to approximately $50.7 billion by mid-2025, indicating some debt repayments or refinancing activity.
Other Long-Term Liabilities
This liability item showed moderate growth from about $12.5 billion to around $27.5 billion, implying incremental long-term obligations.
Total Long-Term Liabilities
Total long-term liabilities increased from approximately $76 billion to a peak near $162 billion in late 2022, followed by some fluctuations but remaining generally elevated at around $161 billion by mid-2025.
Total Liabilities
Overall total liabilities grew from about $156 billion in March 2020 to approximately $348 billion by June 2025, reflecting continued expansion in both current and long-term obligations.
Stockholders' Equity
Stockholders’ equity experienced consistent growth, rising from roughly $65 billion in March 2020 to over $333 billion by June 2025. This growth suggests accumulation of retained earnings and additional capital contributions.
Retained Earnings
Retained earnings grew substantially, increasing from about $33.7 billion to over $208 billion, indicating profitable operations and reinvestment of earnings over the period.
Additional Paid-in Capital
Additional paid-in capital increased steadily from $35.4 billion to around $131 billion, implying continued capital raises or equity transactions adding to contributed capital.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
This metric fluctuated considerably with negative values in much of the period, but showed signs of recovery toward the end, moving from a loss position of about -$2 billion to a positive $2.4 billion by mid-2025.
Common Stock and Treasury Stock
Common stock par value remained relatively constant, with a slight increase in shares outstanding over time. Treasury stock at cost increased (more negative) sharply between late 2020 and early 2022, then stabilized, reflecting significant share repurchase activity.
Total Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
The aggregate of liabilities and equity rose markedly from $221 billion to $682 billion, demonstrating significant growth in the company's financial structure and scale over the period analyzed.
