The composition of assets exhibited notable shifts over the observed period, spanning from March 2021 to December 2025. Current assets initially represented a substantial portion of the total, fluctuating between approximately 30% and 37% before declining to around 22%-30% by the end of the period. Conversely, long-term assets demonstrated an inverse relationship, increasing from roughly 63% to 78% over the same timeframe. Within these broad categories, specific asset components displayed distinct trends.
- Liquidity & Current Assets
- Cash and cash equivalents showed volatility, peaking at 6.75% in December 2025, but generally remaining in the 3%-6% range. Short-term investments experienced a decline from over 13% in the earlier part of the period to approximately 6%-11% by the end. Accounts receivable, net, consistently decreased from nearly 5% to around 1.2%-1.8%, suggesting improved efficiency in collecting receivables or a potential reduction in credit sales. Inventories remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 5.5% and 7.3%, with a slight downward trend towards the end of the period. Other current assets demonstrated a more erratic pattern, increasing significantly in later periods, potentially indicating a build-up of prepaid expenses or other short-term holdings.
- Fixed Assets
- Property, plant, and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, consistently constituted the largest single asset component, steadily increasing from 38% to approximately 50%-58% of total assets. This suggests significant and ongoing investment in fixed assets. The increase indicates a potential expansion of operational capacity or modernization of existing facilities.
- Long-Term Investments & Intangibles
- Equity investments remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 3% and 4%, with a notable increase to 4.24% and 4.03% in late 2025. Other long-term investments decreased over time, becoming negligible in later periods. Goodwill experienced a gradual decline from approximately 18% to around 11%-14%, potentially reflecting impairment charges or a shift in the company’s acquisition strategy. Identified intangible assets, net, also showed a consistent downward trend, decreasing from 5.6% to approximately 1.3%-2.4%. Other long-term assets exhibited a fluctuating pattern, peaking at 7.1% in September 2023 before decreasing to 3.37% by December 2025.
Overall, the asset composition shifted towards a greater proportion of long-term assets, particularly property, plant, and equipment, and away from current assets. This suggests a strategic focus on long-term growth and investment in operational capabilities. The declines in goodwill and identified intangible assets warrant further investigation to understand the underlying reasons and potential implications for future performance.
