- Net Income Trend
- Net income exhibits a generally increasing trend over the periods, with fluctuations. Starting from 771 million USD in early 2019, it experienced growth peaks around early 2021 and mid-2023, reaching over 2000 million USD in some quarters. However, there are occasional dips, notably in early 2025, where net income dropped to 1185 million USD before recovering again.
- Depreciation and Amortization
- This expense item remains relatively stable with slight upward movement over time. Values mostly range between 88 and 136 million USD quarterly, with some minor fluctuations but no distinct trend of sharp increases or decreases.
- Share-Based Compensation
- There is a persistent increase in share-based compensation over the time frame. Starting from around 65 million USD quarterly in 2019, the figure rises steadily, reaching peaks above 190 million USD by early 2025, indicating increased expenses related to equity awards.
- Deferred Income Taxes
- Deferred income taxes exhibit significant volatility, with swings between positive and negative values. Large negative values appear in mid-2022 and late 2024, and positive spikes occur early in 2025, signaling changes in tax asset or liability positions.
- Accounts Receivable
- Accounts receivable changes are highly variable, showing large swings between positive and negative values. Particularly notable are significant negative movements in late 2021 and early 2023, followed by positive recoveries. The volatility suggests fluctuating collections and sales timing issues.
- Inventories
- Inventory levels show a declining trend from early 2019 through much of 2022, with negative values indicating reductions. However, some positive values in 2023 point to replenishments or build up, followed by negative values again in 2024 and 2025, reflecting possible inventory management adjustments.
- Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses
- These liabilities demonstrate alternating increases and decreases, with negative spikes indicating payments exceeding accruals and positive spikes indicating accrual build-up. The data reveals some large negative and positive swings, implying variable supplier payment cycles and expense recognition.
- Contract Liabilities
- Contract liabilities fluctuate significantly, with sharp declines in some quarters and increases in others, reflecting timing differences in revenue recognition and cash receipts. A notable sharp decrease occurs in early 2023, suggesting a recognition of previously deferred revenue or contract settlements.
- Income Taxes Payable
- Income taxes payable also display volatility with large negative and positive values, including a notable large negative value in early 2023. This variability indicates timing differences in tax payments and accruals.
- Cash Provided by Operating Activities
- Operating cash flow remains generally strong, with values consistently above 600 million USD and spikes reaching as high as 2658 million USD in early 2022 and other high points in mid-2023 and late 2024. However, some dips are present, such as in mid-2022 and early 2025.
- Capital Expenditures
- Capital expenditures show a rising trend in absolute value (negative cash outflow), increasing from approximately 90-130 million USD down to between 250 and nearly 600 million USD by later periods. This indicates increased investments in fixed assets over time.
- Investing Activities
- Cash used in investing activities is generally negative, reflecting ongoing investments and acquisitions. Some quarters show positive cash impacts due to proceeds from asset sales and investments maturities, but overall, cash outflows dominate with periodic spikes in investments.
- Debt Activity
- Debt borrowings and repayments indicate significant activity in 2020, with high borrowings followed by large repayments, suggesting refinancing or debt restructuring. Commercial paper issuance and repayments in later years show active short-term debt management.
- Shareholder-Related Cash Flows
- Common stock issuances occur sporadically but trending slightly upward in amount, while stock repurchases are frequent and substantial, with repurchase amounts peaking in periods around 2021 to 2024. Dividend payments are steadier but show slight increases over time.
- Financing Activities
- Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities is mostly negative, with some positive quarters such as in 2020 linked to debt borrowings. Negative cash flow from financing indicates ongoing debt repayments, stock repurchases, dividend payments, and other financing outflows exceeding inflows.
- Overall Cash Position Changes
- The net change in cash and equivalents is volatile with alternating positive and negative quarters. Large positive increases occur during mid-2020 and several periods in 2023, while sizeable decreases appear in early 2022 and late 2024, underscoring fluctuating liquidity movements influenced by operational performance, investing, and financing activities.
