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 analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several relevant patterns and trends in the company's asset structure over the observed periods.
- Cash and Cash Equivalents
- Cash balances fluctuate significantly throughout the periods, starting from approximately $11.4 billion and showing notable decreases and recoveries. The lowest cash position occurs around late 2020, followed by an increase peaking at over $11 billion toward the end of 2022. In the most recent quarters, cash again oscillates between roughly $6.9 billion and $11.3 billion, indicating variable liquidity management or operational cash flow impacts.
- Short-term Investments
- Short-term investments exhibit considerable growth from early 2020 through late 2021, rising from about $9.4 billion to nearly $27 billion, before experiencing volatility thereafter. A decline is evident in mid-2023, followed by an uptick approaching nearly $20 billion by mid-2025, suggesting strategic repositioning of liquid assets in response to market or operational conditions.
- Accounts Receivable
- There is a declining trend in accounts receivable over time, starting near $8.5 billion at the beginning and tapering to about $3.2 billion by mid-2025. This steady decrease may reflect improved collection efficiency, changes in sales terms, or a reduction in credit sales volume.
- Inventories
- Inventories gradually increase from approximately $9.2 billion to a peak exceeding $13 billion near the end of 2022, after which they show a mild decrease and some variability, stabilizing around $11.5 billion in later periods. This pattern indicates adjustments in inventory management possibly tied to demand fluctuations or supply chain dynamics.
- Other Current Assets
- This category is marked by significant variation. Particularly notable is a spike in late 2020 and persistent volatility thereafter, ranging from about $2.1 billion to peaks over $9.5 billion. The fluctuations could be linked to changes in prepaid expenses, deferred charges, or other temporary asset categories influencing current asset composition.
- Total Current Assets
- Current assets overall display variability, increasing from roughly $41.5 billion to a maximum near $61.3 billion in late 2021, then decreasing and fluctuating around $42 billion into mid-2025. This reflects the combined effects of the movements in cash, investments, receivables, inventories, and other current components.
- Property, Plant, and Equipment (Net)
- There is a consistent upward trend in net property, plant, and equipment, growing from approximately $56.8 billion to over $109 billion by mid-2025. This steady increase indicates ongoing capital investment and expansion of fixed assets, highlighting a long-term commitment to capacity or efficiency improvements.
- Equity Investments
- Equity investments remain relatively stable with slight fluctuations, initially near $3.9 billion, dipping somewhat mid-period, and increasing to a high around $8.7 billion by late 2025. This upward movement suggests selective growth or acquisitions in associated companies or long-term investments.
- Other Long-term Investments
- This category declines over the available periods, from about $2.9 billion down to below $1 billion and eventually has no reported values, implying asset disposals or reclassification.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill remains broadly stable around $26 billion through early 2023, then displays a gradual decline towards approximately $23.9 billion by late 2025. The reduction might indicate impairment charges, divestitures, or amortization effects.
- Identified Intangible Assets (Net)
- The net balance of intangible assets declines steadily from about $10.4 billion to approximately $2.9 billion by the end of the analysis period, reflecting amortization and possibly asset impairments or sales.
- Other Long-term Assets
- Significant growth is observed in other long-term assets, from roughly $5.9 billion to a peak exceeding $13.6 billion in late 2023, though values show a decline and variability later on. The fluctuations may be tied to deferred tax assets, long-term receivables, or other noncurrent asset categories.
- Total Long-term Assets
- Long-term assets experience a steady increase, from about $106.2 billion initially to a peak approximately $152.8 billion by mid-2025. This trend reflects consistent asset accumulation and capital investments over time.
- Total Assets
- Total assets grow from roughly $147.7 billion to a peak exceeding $206.2 billion near the end of 2023, before experiencing some declines and fluctuations, stabilizing around $204.5 billion by mid-2025. This overall increase demonstrates expansion of the company's asset base, though with periods of volatility reflecting the dynamics of the underlying asset categories.
In summary, the company shows deliberate and sustained investment in fixed assets and long-term growth-oriented assets, accompanied by fluctuating current assets influenced by liquidity management strategies and operational factors. Declines in intangible assets and goodwill possibly suggest impairments or re-allocations, while overall asset growth denotes expansion and persistence in capital deployment.
