Total assets exhibited a generally increasing trend over the observed period, though with significant fluctuations, particularly in the later quarters. From January 2020 through October 2021, growth was relatively steady. A substantial increase is then observed beginning in January 2024, culminating in a dramatic surge in the final two quarters, likely due to a significant event impacting asset values.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-Term Investments
This component of current assets demonstrated considerable volatility. After increasing from approximately $700 million in January 2020 to a peak of over $1.58 billion in October 2021, it decreased before experiencing another substantial rise, reaching nearly $4.05 billion in July 2024. The final period shows an extraordinary increase to over $14.26 billion in January 2025, followed by a decrease to $2.59 billion in April 2025. This suggests a significant shift in liquidity management or a major corporate action.
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable fluctuated throughout the period. It initially decreased from approximately $800 million in January 2020 to around $570 million in July 2021, then increased to over $1 billion in January 2022. Subsequent quarters saw further fluctuations, peaking at over $1.5 billion in October 2023 before decreasing again. This pattern may reflect changes in sales terms, collection efficiency, or overall sales volume.
Inventories
Inventory levels showed a moderate increasing trend from approximately $148 million in January 2020 to around $382 million in October 2023. The final periods show a slight decrease, but remain elevated compared to earlier periods. This could indicate a build-up of stock in anticipation of future demand or potential supply chain adjustments.
Prepaid and Other Current Assets
This category consistently increased over the observed period, rising from approximately $304 million in January 2020 to over $1.18 billion in October 2025. This sustained growth suggests increasing investments in prepaid expenses or other short-term assets.
Current Assets Held for Sale
This item was largely absent until April 2024, when it reached over $1 billion. It remained at a similar level in July 2024, then disappeared in subsequent periods, reappearing briefly in October 2025 at $74 million. This indicates a potential divestiture or restructuring activity that occurred during that timeframe.
Long-Term Assets
Long-term assets, encompassing property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, goodwill, intangible assets, deferred income taxes, and other long-term assets, constituted the majority of total assets. These assets generally increased over the period, with a particularly significant jump in the final quarters, mirroring the trend in total assets. Goodwill experienced a substantial increase, particularly in the later periods, suggesting potential acquisitions or revaluations. Intangible assets also showed a significant increase, especially in the final period, reaching over $13 billion in January 2025.

The substantial changes observed in the final periods, particularly in cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and intangible assets, warrant further investigation to understand the underlying drivers and their potential impact on the company’s financial position and future performance.
