- Cash and Cash Equivalents
- The balance of cash and cash equivalents increased significantly from early 2019, peaking in early 2024 at over $8 billion, before showing a decline towards the second quarter of 2025. The trend indicates robust liquidity management with a focus on maintaining substantial cash reserves, albeit with some recent variability.
- Short-term Investments
- Short-term investments experienced moderate fluctuations throughout the period. Notably, there was a strong rise in the first quarter of 2024 reaching nearly $1.45 billion, followed by a sharp decrease in the following quarters, highlighting a shift in investment strategy or liquidity needs.
- Accounts Receivable, Net
- Accounts receivable displayed a consistent upward trend from 2019 through 2025, rising from approximately $2.44 billion to over $6.1 billion. This pattern may reflect increasing sales or extended credit terms, suggesting growing business volume alongside potential collection risks.
- Inventories
- Inventories rose steadily from $3.7 billion in early 2019 to a peak of around $6 billion by early 2023, after which they saw a mild decrease but remained elevated above $5.5 billion. This gradual increase suggests scaling production or stocking in anticipation of demand.
- Other Current Assets
- Other current assets showed considerable volatility with peaks mainly around late 2021 and early 2022, reaching nearly $1.4 billion, followed by fluctuating levels in subsequent periods. This variation could reflect timing differences in prepaid expenses or other current asset components.
- Current Assets
- Total current assets grew steadily over the period from about $10.3 billion to above $21 billion, indicating an overall strengthening of short-term asset positions and improved liquidity, with a minor decline towards mid-2025.
- Long-term Investments
- Long-term investments fluctuated modestly within a range of roughly $1.5 billion to $3.6 billion, with a marked increase in early 2024. The fluctuations suggest strategic reallocations or revaluations of longer-term assets.
- Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
- This asset category demonstrated a steady increase from roughly $1.46 billion to nearly $3.8 billion over the period, reflecting ongoing capital expenditures and growth in fixed assets supporting operations.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill remained relatively stable around $3.4 billion to $3.7 billion, showing minor increments likely related to acquisitions or adjustments. The stability suggests no significant impairments or large goodwill-related transactions during the period.
- Purchased Technology and Other Intangible Assets, Net
- Intangible assets saw a downward trend from 2019 through mid-2022, followed by a moderate rebound and subsequent stability slightly below $300 million. This pattern may be associated with amortization and occasional acquisitions or adjustments.
- Deferred Income Taxes and Other Assets
- These assets exhibited relatively stable levels with a slight upward trend over time, moving from about $2 billion to above $3 billion at various peaks. The changes might be linked to tax timing differences or other long-term asset adjustments.
- Non-current Assets
- Non-current assets showed a consistent increase from approximately $8.6 billion to nearly $14 billion, reflecting the accumulation of long-term investments, fixed assets, goodwill, and intangible assets, indicating expansion and capital investments.
- Total Assets
- Total assets increased steadily from just under $19 billion in early 2019 to over $34 billion in mid-2024, before a slight decline by Q2 2025. This overall growth signals expansion in the company's scale and asset base, supported by both current and non-current asset increases.
