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 total asset base exhibits a period of gradual expansion followed by a significant contraction. Total assets grew from 63.6 billion in March 2021 to a peak of 80.9 billion in September 2025, before declining sharply to 53.1 billion by September 2026.
- Liquidity and Short-Term Asset Trends
- Cash and cash equivalents demonstrated notable volatility, decreasing from 11.7 billion in March 2021 to a low of 6.9 billion in March 2023. A subsequent recovery saw cash levels peak at 12.9 billion in September 2025, followed by a steep decline to 5.7 billion by September 2026. Short-term investments remained relatively low and stable throughout the period, generally fluctuating between 143 million and 1 billion.
- Working Capital Dynamics
- A sustained upward trend was observed in both accounts receivable and inventories from 2021 through late 2025. Inventories rose from 4.6 billion in March 2021 to 7.1 billion in September 2025, while accounts receivable increased from 6.7 billion to 8.9 billion over the same period. However, both metrics experienced a severe reduction in the final quarter of the analysis, with inventories dropping to 2.1 billion and receivables to 5.1 billion by September 2026.
- Intangible Assets and Goodwill
- There was a significant increase in noncurrent assets related to acquisitions and intellectual property starting in 2024. Goodwill grew from 18.0 billion in December 2023 to a peak of 23.8 billion in June 2025. Similarly, other intangible assets surged from 3.1 billion in March 2023 to 7.4 billion in June 2025. These figures moderated in 2026, with goodwill ending at 17.6 billion and intangible assets at 5.4 billion.
- Fixed Assets and Divestitures
- Property, plant, and equipment remained relatively stable between 5.3 billion and 6.7 billion from 2021 through September 2025, before falling to 2.7 billion by September 2026. The emergence of assets held for sale in September 2024, peaking at 2.5 billion in March 2026, coincides with the broader reduction in total assets, suggesting a strategic divestment phase or a major corporate restructuring in the final year of the data set.
