Total assets experienced a significant overall increase from 92.49 billion USD in October 2019 to 125.55 billion USD by April 2026. This growth is characterized by a period of relative stability followed by a sharp expansion in the second quarter of 2024, where total assets rose by approximately 22 billion USD within a single period.

Liquidity and Short-Term Investments
A general reduction in highly liquid assets is observed over the long term. Investments decreased steadily from a peak of 19.45 billion USD in October 2019 to 9.56 billion USD by April 2026. Cash and cash equivalents exhibited higher volatility, reaching a peak of 13.72 billion USD in January 2024 before trending downward to 7.08 billion USD by April 2026.
Working Capital and Operational Assets
Inventories showed a consistent and pronounced upward trend, growing from 1.34 billion USD in 2019 to 4.71 billion USD by April 2026, suggesting a substantial increase in stock levels. Accounts receivable remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 3.98 billion USD and 6.70 billion USD. Other current assets saw a gradual increase, rising from 2.43 billion USD to 5.80 billion USD over the analyzed timeframe.
Strategic Asset Acquisition and Goodwill
A major structural shift occurred in April 2024, marked by a substantial increase in non-current assets. Goodwill rose from 39.09 billion USD in January 2024 to 58.63 billion USD in April 2024. Simultaneously, purchased intangible assets surged from 1.68 billion USD to 11.82 billion USD. These changes indicate a significant acquisition that fundamentally altered the balance sheet composition, shifting the weight of total assets toward intangible holdings.
Long-Term Asset Composition
Long-term assets grew from 50.78 billion USD in 2019 to 88.99 billion USD in 2026. While the primary driver was the April 2024 acquisition, other contributing factors include a steady rise in deferred tax assets, which increased from 3.96 billion USD to 7.56 billion USD, and a gradual increase in other assets from 3.63 billion USD to 8.07 billion USD.
Asset Structure Evolution
The proportion of current assets relative to total assets declined over the period. In October 2019, current assets represented approximately 45% of total assets; by April 2026, this proportion dropped to approximately 29%. This transition reflects a strategic shift from a liquidity-heavy position to one dominated by long-term strategic investments and intangible assets.
