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 reveals several notable trends and fluctuations over the examined periods. Current liabilities show considerable variability, beginning at $10,556 million and experiencing a peak around $13,432 million before trending downward to $7,800 million in the latest period. The components of current liabilities reflect mixed movements: trade accounts payable exhibit a general upward trend until a sharp decline towards the recent quarters, while payroll and other benefit-related liabilities fluctuate significantly, with some peaks and troughs aligned with the overall current liabilities pattern.
Unearned revenues, recorded both as current and long-term liabilities in different rows, generally decline over the periods, indicating a decrease in deferred income or services/payments received in advance. Short-term debt shows large movements, with substantial peaks reaching $3,000 million and $3,485 million, followed by reductions to below $1,000 million, suggesting active management or refinancing activities.
Held for sale liabilities appear only in later periods with moderate values, indicating some liabilities associated with assets classified as held for sale.
Other current liabilities remain volatile with no clear trend, oscillating between roughly $3,400 million and $5,000 million in various periods. This variability contributes to the overall fluctuations seen in current liabilities.
Noncurrent liabilities demonstrate a peak around $21,000 million, then decline and hover near $18,000–$19,000 million in recent terms. Long-term debt, a major component of noncurrent liabilities, also fluctuates notably. It experienced a reduction from approximately $15,400 million to a low near $12,000 million and then rose again approaching $15,000 million, reflecting possible debt repayments and issuances.
Other liabilities exhibit a gradual increase and then modest declines but stay within a range of approximately $3,000 million to $5,400 million across the periods, supporting the overall stability of noncurrent liabilities.
Total liabilities peak above $31,000 million and then trend slightly downward to near $27,600 million, showing some reduction over time, likely due to management's efforts in debt or liability optimization.
On the equity side, stockholders’ equity maintains steady growth from around $3,600 million to over $27,000 million in the final period, indicating value accretion despite fluctuations in liabilities. Retained earnings strongly contribute to this growth, increasing consistently and significantly over the entire timeframe, suggesting sustained profitability or retained profits.
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) shows substantial variability but generally trends upwards, suggesting fluctuations in items like foreign currency translation or unrealized gains/losses affecting accumulated comprehensive income.
The overall balance, represented by total liabilities and stockholders’ equity, rises from about $34,200 million to approximately $54,800 million, reflecting company growth and expansion in asset base or financing activity.
