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.

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.
