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.

The overall capital structure exhibits a significant expansion in total liabilities and stockholders' equity, growing from 150.6 billion USD in March 2021 to 228.6 billion USD by September 2026. This growth is characterized by a simultaneous increase in both debt obligations and equity contributions, though the composition of equity has undergone a fundamental shift.
- Liability Trends and Debt Obligations
- Total liabilities demonstrated a general upward trajectory, rising from 70.8 billion USD in March 2021 to 97.0 billion USD by September 2026. Long-term debt showed a marked increase, particularly between December 2022 (37.7 billion USD) and April 2023 (48.8 billion USD), remaining elevated above 43 billion USD for the remainder of the period. Current liabilities also trended upward, increasing from 24.2 billion USD to 37.4 billion USD, driven largely by growth in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities.
- Equity Composition and Retained Earnings
- A divergence is observed between paid-in capital and earned capital. Common stock and capital in excess of par value grew substantially from 26.3 billion USD in March 2021 to 78.2 billion USD in September 2026. Conversely, retained earnings experienced a steady decline, falling from 54.6 billion USD to 36.9 billion USD over the same period. This pattern indicates that the increase in total stockholders' equity was primarily funded through external capital infusions rather than organic profit accumulation.
- Non-Controlling Interests
- Non-controlling interests emerged as a significant component of the balance sheet starting in December 2022 at 1.9 billion USD and grew consistently to 16.6 billion USD by September 2026. This represents a meaningful increase in the proportion of equity attributable to third parties within consolidated subsidiaries.
- Short-Term Liquidity Obligations
- Short-term debt exhibited high volatility, peaking at 6.7 billion USD in June 2025 before fluctuating between 2.0 billion and 3.8 billion USD in 2026. Accounts payable showed a peak of 12.6 billion USD in December 2024, suggesting periodic fluctuations in supplier credit utilization.
In summary, the balance sheet reflects an aggressive expansion of the capital base. The reliance on long-term debt and the issuance of common stock has offset the erosion of retained earnings, while the sharp rise in non-controlling interests suggests an evolving corporate structure regarding subsidiary ownership.
