An examination of the provided financial information reveals notable shifts in the company’s liabilities and stockholders’ equity over the five-year period. Total liabilities generally increased, though with some fluctuation, while stockholders’ equity demonstrated a more consistent upward trend, punctuated by a decrease in 2024.

Current Liabilities
Current liabilities exhibited an overall increase from $27.462 billion in 2021 to $35.666 billion in 2024. However, a decrease to $31.575 billion was observed in 2025. Accounts payable showed significant volatility, rising to $12.556 billion in 2024 before declining to $9.882 billion in 2025. Accrued compensation and benefits demonstrated a steady decline from 2021 to 2024, followed by a slight increase in 2025. Income taxes payable fluctuated, peaking in 2022 and decreasing substantially by 2025. Other accrued liabilities consistently increased throughout the period, reaching $14.600 billion in 2025.
Long-Term Liabilities
Long-term debt increased from $33.510 billion in 2021 to $46.978 billion in 2023, then decreased slightly to $44.086 billion in 2025. Other long-term liabilities decreased from 2021 to 2023, then showed an increase in 2024, followed by a slight decrease in 2025. Overall, total long-term liabilities increased from $45.553 billion to $53.494 billion over the period.
Total Liabilities
Total liabilities increased from $73.015 billion in 2021 to a peak of $91.453 billion in 2024, before decreasing to $85.069 billion in 2025. This suggests a period of increased borrowing or deferred obligations, followed by some reduction. The increase in 2024 was primarily driven by the rise in current liabilities.
Stockholders’ Equity
Common stock and capital in excess of par value experienced substantial growth, increasing from $28.006 billion in 2021 to $65.185 billion in 2025. Retained earnings decreased from $69.156 billion in 2023 to $48.983 billion in 2025, potentially indicating dividend payouts or other distributions. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) moved from a loss of $880 million in 2021 to a gain of $113 million in 2025. Non-controlling interests increased significantly over the period, reaching $12.079 billion in 2025. Total stockholders’ equity increased from $95.391 billion in 2021 to $126.360 billion in 2025, despite the dip to $105.032 billion in 2024.
Total Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
The combined total of liabilities and stockholders’ equity increased consistently from $168.406 billion in 2021 to $211.429 billion in 2025, reflecting overall growth in the company’s financial size. The decrease in total liabilities in 2025, coupled with the increase in stockholders’ equity, contributed to a more favorable capital structure at the end of the period.

In summary, the company experienced growth in both liabilities and stockholders’ equity. While liabilities showed some volatility, stockholders’ equity demonstrated a generally positive trend, driven primarily by increases in common stock and capital in excess of par value. The decrease in retained earnings in the later years warrants further investigation.
