The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several key trends and observations across various asset categories over the periods presented.

Liquidity and Current Assets: Cash and cash equivalents exhibit significant volatility throughout the periods, with a low point around the third quarter of 2020 and intermittent peaks, notably at the end of the first quarter 2022. Although there is a general recovery trend after mid-2022, cash balances remain below the initial 2020 level in most quarters. Accounts receivable show a steady upward trend, increasing from approximately 2.1 billion USD in early 2020 to around 3.5 billion USD by mid-2025, indicating growing revenues or extended credit terms. Prepaid expenses and other current assets fluctuate moderately but show some increase in the later periods, especially toward early 2025. Overall current assets reflect these mixed movements, showing recovery and growth after dips in 2020 and early 2021, reaching higher values by mid-2025 compared to early 2020.
Restricted Cash: Restricted cash balances are minimal and appear only in very early quarters, with amounts declining quickly to zero and remaining absent thereafter, suggesting a lack of restricted cash balances in recent periods.
Property, Plant, and Equipment (PP&E): Net PP&E has exhibited a consistent upward trajectory across the periods, increasing from approximately 34.1 billion USD in early 2020 to about 44.2 billion USD by the end of 2024. This indicates ongoing investment and capital expenditure in fixed assets, reflecting expansion or upgrade activities.
Intangible Assets: Customer relationships exhibit a clear downward trend throughout the entire timeframe, declining from roughly 6.9 billion USD in early 2020 to approximately 0.7 billion USD by mid-2025. This likely represents systematic amortization or impairment of these intangible assets. Franchises remain essentially stable with a very slight upward trend around the mid-60 billion USD mark, indicating steady valuation or possibly minor acquisitions. Goodwill shows stability with negligible variation centered around 29.5 billion USD, suggesting limited acquisition activity or write-downs affecting goodwill.
Investment in Cable Properties: This major asset category reflects a gradual but consistent increase from approximately 137.9 billion USD in early 2020 to about 142.0 billion USD by mid-2025. The upward movement suggests ongoing capital additions or revaluations related to cable property investments.
Other Noncurrent Assets and Noncurrent Assets Total: Other noncurrent assets show moderate fluctuations, with some increases noted after late 2021, but generally staying in the range between 2.8 and 4.8 billion USD. Noncurrent assets as a whole maintain a relatively stable to mildly increasing trend, rising from roughly 140.8 billion USD in early 2020 to near 146.8 billion USD by the middle of 2025.
Total Assets: Total assets exhibit modest but steady growth over the analyzed timeframe, increasing from about 146.6 billion USD at the beginning of 2020 to approximately 151.6 billion USD by mid-2025. This upward trend reflects the aggregate effect of investments, asset growth, and possible improvements in asset management.
