- Cash and cash equivalents
- The cash balance experienced notable fluctuations, peaking strongly in mid-2023 at around $3.44 billion, followed by a decline towards the end of 2023 and into early 2024, before moderately increasing again by mid-2025. Overall, there is an upward trend from 2020 levels to 2025, indicating growing liquidity despite periodic volatility.
- Short-term investments
- Short-term investments demonstrated an initial increase through 2020, reaching a high in late 2020, but then entered a general downtrend from 2021 onwards. The values diminished progressively through 2024 and stabilized at lower levels by mid-2025, suggesting a strategic reallocation or liquidation of short-term holdings.
- Accounts receivable, net
- Accounts receivable showed a consistent increase over the entire timeframe, growing from approximately $528 million in early 2020 to about $1.27 billion by mid-2025. This steady rise reflects expanding sales on credit or longer collection periods, implying growth in business volume but also potential risk in receivables management.
- Inventory
- Inventory levels rose progressively throughout the period, nearly tripling from $620 million at the start of 2020 to $1.67 billion by mid-2025. This steady build-up may indicate preparation for increased sales demand or may suggest accumulation of stock, which necessitates careful inventory management to avoid obsolescence or excess holding costs.
- Prepaids and other current assets
- Prepaid expenses and other current assets fluctuated moderately, with no clear long-term trend but notable spikes in early and mid-2024 and mid-2025. These variations may correspond to changes in prepaid contracts or other timing-related asset components.
- Current assets
- Total current assets increased substantially, from $4.69 billion in Q1 2020 to nearly $8.75 billion by mid-2025, reflecting growth across cash, receivables, inventory, and other current assets. Although the growth was not entirely steady, the overall upward trend indicates improved short-term financial strength and liquidity.
- Property, plant, and equipment, net
- Property, plant, and equipment showed consistent growth, nearly quadrupling from approximately $1.37 billion in early 2020 to nearly $5 billion by mid-2025. This rise demonstrates ongoing capital investment and expansion of operational capacity over the analyzed period.
- Long-term investments
- Long-term investments showcased significant volatility. After a steep drop from $2.64 billion in early 2020 to about $1 billion in late 2023, the balance recovered strongly to exceed $4.8 billion by early 2025, before retracting slightly by mid-2025. This pattern suggests active portfolio management and rebalancing of long-term financial assets.
- Deferred tax assets
- Deferred tax assets increased steadily from $365 million in early 2020 to over $1 billion by mid-2025. This upward trend implies growing timing differences or tax credit recognition, which may result from evolving income composition or tax strategies.
- Intangible and other assets, net
- Intangible assets remained relatively stable with mild fluctuations, generally centered around $600 million to $800 million over the period. The lack of significant growth points to limited acquisition or amortization activity related to intangible assets.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill balances stayed consistent around $340 million, with only minor fluctuations. This stability indicates no major acquisitions or write-downs impacting goodwill during the timeframe.
- Long-term assets
- Long-term assets overall showed an increasing trend, rising from approximately $5.2 billion in early 2020 to $11.4 billion by mid-2025. Despite some mid-period volatility—particularly a temporary dip between 2022 and 2023—the growth reflects substantial investments and accumulation of long-term resources.
- Total assets
- Total asset base expanded significantly from about $9.9 billion in Q1 2020 to over $20 billion by mid-2025, effectively doubling over five years. This growth is underpinned by both increased current and long-term assets, showcasing the company's expansion and strengthened financial position.
