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 financial data demonstrates several notable trends in liabilities and stockholders’ equity over the given periods.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities exhibit overall growth with fluctuations. Accounts payable increased sharply starting from December 2020, peaking at over 10 billion US dollars by the end of 2025. Accrued expenses and other current liabilities also show an increasing trend, with a significant rise starting around 2022, reaching above 25 billion US dollars before slightly declining and fluctuating thereafter. The sum of current liabilities reflects these patterns, climbing steadily with notable spikes toward the end of the timeline.
- Operating Lease Liabilities
- Both current and non-current operating lease liabilities present consistent upward trends. Current lease liabilities grow gradually from approximately 0.8 billion US dollars in early 2020 to nearly 2 billion US dollars by the end of 2025. Similarly, non-current lease liabilities rise from roughly 9.5 billion US dollars to more than 18 billion US dollars during the same period, indicating increasing leasing commitments.
- Non-Current Liabilities
- Non-current liabilities reveal a general upward movement with considerable variation. The inclusion of long-term debt, starting from 2022 at around 9.9 billion US dollars, spikes sharply into the 18-28 billion range and ultimately reaches nearly 29 billion US dollars by the later periods. Long-term income taxes start appearing around 2023 and show a steady increase, approaching 12 billion US dollars by 2025. Other liabilities fluctuate but remain relatively stable except for a noticeable dip around 2023. Overall, non-current liabilities nearly double throughout the timeline.
- Total Liabilities
- Total liabilities rise significantly from about 33 billion US dollars in early 2020 to nearly 100 billion US dollars by the end of 2025. The growth accelerates from 2021 onwards, driven principally by increases in accounts payable, accrued expenses, operating lease liabilities, and long-term debt.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Stockholders’ equity also increases steadily over the reported periods, starting at roughly 105 billion US dollars and growing to nearly 195 billion US dollars towards the end of 2025. Additional paid-in capital shows consistent incremental increases each quarter, highlighting ongoing capital infusion or retained earnings reinvestment. Retained earnings fluctuate more noticeably, with some periods of decline particularly in 2021 and early 2023, but overall maintain a strong upward momentum, surging past 100 billion US dollars towards the end of the timeline. Accumulated other comprehensive income/loss presents a volatile pattern with negative values predominating until late 2025 when it turns positive, suggesting varying unrealized gains and losses over time.
- Total Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
- The total of liabilities and stockholders’ equity rises continuously, reflecting the combined effects of the liabilities growth and equity expansion. The growth from approximately 138 billion US dollars in early 2020 to almost 295 billion US dollars by the end of 2025 indicates considerable expansion of the company’s financial base.
In summary, the financial data reveals substantial increases in both the liabilities and equity components, with liabilities expanding primarily through accounts payable, accrued expenses, leases, and long-term debt. Equity growth supports the firm's capital structure, although retained earnings show some volatility. The rising operating lease liabilities and long-term debt suggest increased obligations. The overall financial position indicates significant scaling over the period reviewed.
