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.

Total assets exhibited substantial growth over the analyzed period, increasing from approximately $3.99 billion in April 2021 to $12.10 billion by March 2026. This expansion was characterized by steady growth through 2023, followed by significant step-increases in mid-2024 and early 2026, indicating periods of aggressive balance sheet expansion.
- Liquidity and Current Asset Trends
- Current assets grew from $1.35 billion in April 2021 to a peak of $4.67 billion in December 2025, before settling at $3.18 billion in March 2026. Cash and cash equivalents showed a notable shift in June 2024, jumping from $1.06 billion to $2.79 billion and remaining elevated above $2.6 billion through December 2025, before declining to $1.41 billion in the final quarter. Receivables demonstrated a consistent long-term upward trend, rising from $388.7 million in April 2021 to $1.03 billion in March 2026, suggesting an increase in credit sales or a larger customer base.
- Intangible Asset and Acquisition Growth
- The most significant drivers of total asset growth were goodwill and acquired intangibles. Goodwill increased from $912.6 million in April 2021 to $4.93 billion by March 2026. Acquired intangibles followed a similar trajectory, growing from $264.7 million to $1.93 billion over the same period. Both metrics experienced sharp spikes in June 2024 and March 2026, which is indicative of large-scale strategic acquisitions during those windows.
- Fixed and Other Long-Term Assets
- Property, plant, and equipment (PP&E) showed a steady, linear increase from $305.1 million in April 2021 to $536.9 million in March 2026, reflecting consistent investment in physical infrastructure. Deferred tax assets remained relatively stable, fluctuating between $729.3 million and $986.2 million throughout the period. Other assets also trended upward, growing from $437.6 million to $675.0 million.
The overall asset composition shifted toward a higher concentration of intangible assets by the end of the period. While current assets provided a strong liquidity cushion for several years, the massive surge in goodwill and intangibles in the final quarter suggests a transition toward a more acquisition-heavy asset structure.
