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 analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several notable trends and patterns across various asset categories from March 31, 2020, through March 31, 2025.
- Cash and Cash Equivalents
- Cash and cash equivalents show a general upward trend over the analyzed period, starting at $6.4 billion in early 2020 and rising to approximately $15.6 billion by the end of the period in 2025. There are fluctuations within quarters, with peaks particularly noticeable around mid-2024 with values exceeding $16 billion, indicating strong liquidity positions maintained by the company throughout.
- Short-term Investments
- Short-term investments were not reported until late 2022 and have shown an increase from $116 million to a peak of $640 million by the end of 2023, followed by a decline in early 2024. This reflects relatively modest investment activity compared to cash holdings, with some variability in allocation to short-term instruments.
- Accounts Receivable, Net
- Accounts receivable exhibits a significant growth trend, starting from $667 million in early 2020 to over $3 billion by 2024, suggesting increased sales on credit and possibly expanding business operations. A notable spike occurs in mid-2023 with balances approaching $3.4 billion, followed by fluctuations but maintaining elevated levels relative to prior years.
- Prepaid Expenses, Net
- Prepaid expenses have been somewhat volatile; data is missing for the earliest quarters, but figures available show values generally increasing from around $286 million to peaks close to $849 million in mid-2023, before trending downward again, indicating changes in advance payments or other prepaid asset management.
- Other Current Assets
- Other current assets start high at over $2.2 billion in March 2020, sharply decreasing the following quarter, then showing a generally stable pattern in the $300–$700 million range with some spikes. This suggests some reclassification or changes in the composition of current assets, with no clear long-term trend.
- Current Assets
- Current assets overall have increased from approximately $9.3 billion in March 2020 to a peak of nearly $21.3 billion in mid-2024, evidencing growth in liquid and near-term assets. The increase is primarily driven by rising cash balances and accounts receivable, despite some variability in other components.
- Property and Equipment, Net
- Property and equipment exhibit a slow and steady upward trend from $720 million to $857 million by early 2025, indicating ongoing investment in fixed assets with a stable asset base in physical infrastructure.
- Operating Lease Assets
- Operating lease assets show a declining trend from $596 million in early 2020 to approximately $555 million by early 2025, with minor fluctuations. This may reflect changes in lease obligations or asset remeasurement policies.
- Intangible Assets, Net
- Intangible assets steadily decrease over time from $1.9 billion to about $1.3 billion by 2025, indicating amortization or impairment impacts consistent with the declining value of these types of assets.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill balances remain relatively stable around the $2.8 billion to $2.9 billion range, with some fluctuations likely due to acquisitions or impairments. The stability suggests no major acquisitions or write-downs significantly altered goodwill during the period.
- Long-term Investments
- Long-term investments exhibit considerable volatility. Initial values around $2 billion rise to nearly $4.3 billion mid-2021, then sharply decline to under $0.5 billion by 2023 and stabilize thereafter. This pattern suggests periodic portfolio realignments or liquidations.
- Other Assets, Net
- Other assets maintain steady growth from $942 million to just over $1.1 billion, offering a modest but consistent increase across the period, implying stable other long-term asset holdings.
- Long-term Assets
- Long-term assets show minor fluctuations but generally maintain a stable aggregate level, descending from around $8.6 billion in 2020 to about $7.2 billion by 2025, influenced by reductions in intangible and long-term investments offset partially by increases in property and equipment.
- Total Assets
- Total assets overall demonstrate an upward trajectory from approximately $17.9 billion in March 2020 to a peak exceeding $28.5 billion in mid-2024, before settling around $27.2 billion towards early 2025. This reflects overall growth in asset base, driven mainly by current asset increases, especially cash and receivables, despite some decline in long-term asset components.
