Balance Sheet: Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
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.
Liabilities represents obligations of a company arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow of economic benefits from the entity.

An analysis of the financial position reveals a general expansion of the balance sheet characterized by rising liabilities and a volatile equity structure. Total liabilities increased from 70,815 million USD in March 2021 to 99,296 million USD by June 2026, reflecting a broader increase in both short-term and long-term obligations.
- Liability Trends and Debt Obligations
- Long-term debt demonstrated a sustained upward trend, rising from 33,237 million USD in early 2021 to 48,549 million USD by June 2026. Current liabilities fluctuated but generally trended upward, reaching a peak of 35,670 million USD in the final reporting period. This growth is partly driven by accounts payable, which increased from 5,434 million USD to 8,756 million USD, and a significant spike in other accrued liabilities to 21,178 million USD in June 2026.
- Equity Composition and Capital Shifts
- Total stockholders' equity experienced significant volatility, peaking at 126,360 million USD in December 2025 before declining to 103,143 million USD in June 2026. A critical divergence is observed between capital contributions and retained earnings. Common stock and capital in excess of par value grew substantially from 26,272 million USD in March 2021 to a high of 66,259 million USD in March 2026. Conversely, retained earnings entered a long-term decline, falling from a peak of 74,894 million USD in April 2022 to 33,842 million USD by June 2026.
- Non-Controlling Interests and Comprehensive Income
- Non-controlling interests were introduced to the balance sheet in December 2022 at 1,863 million USD and grew consistently to 15,601 million USD by June 2026, indicating an increasing scale of subsidiary operations or joint venture investments. Accumulated other comprehensive income remained predominantly negative for most of the period, although it briefly turned positive in 2025 before returning to a loss of 80 million USD in June 2026.
The observed data indicates a strategic shift in the funding model, where the depletion of retained earnings has been offset by increased long-term borrowing and the issuance of common stock. The final reporting period is marked by a sharp increase in total liabilities and a simultaneous contraction in stockholders' equity, suggesting a heightened leverage position.
