- Cash and cash equivalents
- The proportion of cash and cash equivalents as a percentage of total assets shows significant volatility over the analyzed periods. It begins extremely high at 87.64% in early 2019, declines substantially below 30% for much of 2019 and early 2020, spikes again to around 75% mid-2020, and then declines steadily afterward, remaining mostly below 36% through 2023 and early 2024. These fluctuations suggest variability in liquidity management and potential shifts in investment or operational strategy.
- Short-term investments
- Starting with a high proportion exceeding 50% in 2019 mid-year periods, short-term investments show a decline toward mid-2020 (falling below 5%), then recover and fluctuate between approximately 15% and 55% over subsequent quarters through 2024. The data indicates a dynamic reallocation between cash and short-term investments, reflecting adaptive asset management.
- Accounts receivable, net
- This category exhibits an upward trend from 2.5% in early 2019 to a peak near 14.33% in mid-2022, before decreasing gradually in later periods. The rising accounts receivable percentage indicates growing sales on credit or slower collections, which could impact cash flow management.
- Inventory
- The share of inventory steadily increases from 4.45% in early 2019, peaking around 14.5% in late 2022, followed by a moderate decline to approximately 6.77% by early 2024. The overall increase suggests accumulation of stock over the years, potentially positioning for higher sales or reflecting slower turnover in recent periods.
- Prepaid expenses and other current assets
- This item fluctuates within a narrow range, generally below 2.5%, with slight increases during 2021 and early 2022 and decreasing afterward. The variations represent routine asset management without a clear directional trend.
- Current assets
- Current assets as a percentage of total assets decrease gradually from over 96% in early 2019 to around 77% in early 2024, indicating a shift of asset composition away from current assets toward noncurrent assets over time.
- Operating lease right-of-use assets
- These assets peak notably at 7.95% in late 2021, representing increased lease obligations or recognition of right-of-use assets, and subsequently decline steadily to approximately 2.12% by early 2024, signaling changes in lease arrangements or asset capitalization policies.
- Property and equipment, net
- The net property and equipment percentage rises from around 1.78% in early 2019 to a high near 8.25% in late 2022, then declines to under 5% in early 2024. This pattern reflects capital expenditures and potential asset disposals or revaluations.
- Equity method investment
- Beginning data on equity method investments appear from 2021, declining steadily from 2.51% to nearly 0.14% by early 2024. This downward trend could indicate divestitures, impairments, or changes in associated investments.
- Intangible assets, net
- Intangible assets emerge in late periods, reaching above 12% in early 2023, then decline to about 5.6% by early 2024. The initial high may indicate recent acquisitions or capitalizations followed by amortization or impairments.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill is recorded only in recent quarters, starting above 5% in early 2023 and decreasing slightly to about 2.41% by early 2024, consistent with acquisition activity followed by possible write-downs or reallocations.
- Deferred tax assets
- Deferred tax assets appear in 2022, peaking near 15% and declining to approximately 6.8% by early 2024. This trend may reflect changes in tax positions, valuation allowances, or timing differences.
- Other assets
- Other assets remain consistently low, fluctuating narrowly around 0.5% to 1% throughout the entire period, indicating stability in these miscellaneous asset components.
- Noncurrent assets
- Noncurrent assets as a proportion of total assets increase from below 4% in early 2019 to a peak near 29% in late 2022, before moderating to around 22% in early 2024. This trend indicates a strategic shift toward higher long-term asset investments.
- Total assets
- Total assets are normalized as 100% throughout all periods, serving as a baseline for evaluating compositional changes described above.
