The balance sheet reflects a period of substantial expansion in total assets and funding, with total liabilities and stockholders' equity increasing from $301.0 billion in September 2020 to $758.3 billion by June 2026. This growth is characterized by a significant strengthening of the equity base and a strategic shift in the composition of liabilities.

Liability Composition and Current Obligations
Total liabilities grew from $177.6 billion to $315.9 billion over the analyzed period. A significant portion of this increase is attributable to current liabilities, which rose from $70.0 billion in September 2020 to $168.8 billion in June 2026. A primary driver of this trend is short-term unearned revenue, which increased from $33.4 billion to $72.9 billion, indicating a substantial rise in deferred income from customer prepayments. Accounts payable also showed a strong upward trend, increasing from $12.5 billion to $42.4 billion.
Debt Profile and Long-Term Liabilities
A clear deleveraging trend is observed in long-term debt, excluding the current portion, which declined from $57.0 billion in September 2020 to $31.0 billion in June 2026. While traditional long-term debt decreased, other long-term liabilities experienced aggressive growth, rising from $11.5 billion to $65.1 billion. This suggests a shift in the nature of long-term obligations. Long-term income taxes remained relatively stable, fluctuating between $23.7 billion and $28.6 billion throughout the period.
Equity Expansion and Capital Retention
Stockholders' equity demonstrated robust growth, expanding from $123.3 billion in September 2020 to $442.3 billion in June 2026. The most significant contributor to this increase was retained earnings, which grew from $39.1 billion to $328.2 billion, signaling high levels of profitability and a strong capacity for internal capital accumulation. Common stock and paid-in capital also increased steadily from $81.0 billion to $117.4 billion.
Comprehensive Income and Other Trends
Accumulated other comprehensive income transitioned from a positive $3.1 billion in September 2020 to a negative position, peaking at a loss of $7.3 billion in September 2022 before recovering slightly to $3.2 billion in June 2026. Additionally, deferred income taxes showed a marked increase in the later years of the period, rising from a range of $170–$300 million to over $3 billion by June 2026.
