Balance Sheet: Assets
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.
Assets are resources controlled by the company as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity.

- Cash and Cash Equivalents
- The cash and cash equivalents exhibit a fluctuating trend over the periods, peaking initially in mid-2020 above 7 billion US dollars before dipping below 6 billion at the end of 2021. Subsequently, the cash position increases again, reaching over 8 billion by mid-2025. The data indicates periodic liquidity fluctuations but an overall increase in liquidity towards the later periods.
- Short-term Investments
- Short-term investments show missing data in the early periods but appear from late 2022 onward. The investments fluctuate, with values ranging from approximately 21 million to over 1.7 billion US dollars. Notably, there is a peak in the fourth quarter of 2024, indicating an increase in allocation to short-term investments at that time.
- Other Current Assets
- Other current assets display a general upward trajectory across the covered periods, rising from approximately 1.3 billion US dollars in early 2020 to over 3.6 billion by mid-2025. Although some fluctuations occur, the overall trend indicates growth in other current assets.
- Current Assets
- Current assets increase noticeably from around 6.4 billion US dollars at the end of the first quarter of 2020 to a peak exceeding 13 billion by early 2025. However, dips are observed around late 2021 and early 2025, reflecting temporary declines in short-term asset holdings. The general trend reflects sustained asset accumulation despite intermittent decreases.
- Content Assets, Net
- Content assets, representing a significant proportion of total assets, generally increase from approximately 25.3 billion US dollars in early 2020 to a peak near 32.5 billion in early 2025. Minor decreases and plateaus appear episodically, but the long-term movement is an upward growth in content holdings, suggesting continued investment in content development or acquisition.
- Property and Equipment, Net
- Property and equipment assets demonstrate a steady upward trend throughout the periods, increasing consistently from about 650 million US dollars in early 2020 to over 1.7 billion by mid-2025. This indicates ongoing capital expenditure and infrastructure investment.
- Other Non-current Assets
- Other non-current assets show consistent growth, rising from approximately 2.7 billion US dollars in early 2020 to over 7.2 billion by mid-2025. The incremental increases suggest expanding investments in long-term assets outside of content and property.
- Non-current Assets
- Aggregated non-current assets increase steadily from about 28.6 billion US dollars in early 2020 to exceed 41 billion by mid-2025. The pattern reflects broad and sustained growth in long-term asset bases, aligning with trends seen in content assets, property, and other non-current asset categories.
- Total Assets
- Total assets grow consistently from roughly 35.1 billion US dollars at the beginning of 2020 to over 53 billion by mid-2025, with minor dips in late 2023 and early 2025. The overall upward trend indicates a significant expansion of the asset base over the observed periods, suggesting augmentation of company scale and resource capacity.
