Total assets exhibited a general growth trajectory over the analyzed period, increasing from 61,662 million US dollars in March 2021 to 84,569 million US dollars by June 2026. This expansion was primarily driven by a steady increase in noncurrent assets, while current assets experienced more volatility and a gradual shift in composition.

Liquidity and Current Asset Trends
Cash and cash equivalents peaked early in the period at 20,838 million US dollars in June 2021, followed by a general downward trend that stabilized between 6,000 and 10,000 million US dollars in later years. Parallel to this, short-term investments rose significantly from 309 million US dollars in March 2021 to a peak of 9,608 million US dollars in September 2023, before settling near 6,471 million US dollars by June 2026. This shift suggests a strategic reallocation of liquid reserves into short-term yield-bearing instruments and long-term capital investments.
Capital Investment and Fixed Assets
A consistent and aggressive upward trend is observed in operating property and equipment, net, which grew from 31,915 million US dollars in March 2021 to 47,958 million US dollars by June 2026. This steady increase indicates sustained capital expenditure, likely focused on fleet renewal or expansion. Operating lease right-of-use assets remained relatively stable until March 2025, after which a sharp increase occurred, reaching 6,161 million US dollars by June 2026, signaling a rise in leased asset obligations toward the end of the period.
Intangible and Other Noncurrent Assets
Goodwill remained unchanged at 4,527 million US dollars throughout the entire duration. Intangible assets, net, showed a marginal and consistent decline from 2,840 million US dollars to 2,645 million US dollars, which is characteristic of scheduled amortization. Investments in affiliates and other assets remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 1,238 million and 1,644 million US dollars.
Asset Composition Shift
The balance sheet shifted toward a heavier weighting of noncurrent assets. Noncurrent assets grew from 45,643 million US dollars in March 2021 to 62,905 million US dollars by June 2026. In contrast, current assets, while peaking in mid-2021, ended the period at 21,664 million US dollars, demonstrating that the long-term asset base is now the primary driver of the company's total asset growth.
