Total assets exhibit a long-term growth trajectory, increasing from 61,662 million USD in March 2021 to 80,941 million USD by March 2026. This growth is primarily characterized by a strategic shift in asset composition, moving from high short-term liquidity toward expanded long-term operational investments.

Liquidity and Current Asset Trends
Cash and cash equivalents peaked in June 2021 at 20,838 million USD, followed by a general downward trend that reached a low of 5,942 million USD in December 2025. Short-term investments showed a complementary pattern, rising significantly between June 2022 and March 2023 to peak at approximately 9,533 million USD, suggesting a temporary shift in how liquid reserves were held before both categories stabilized at lower levels in the later periods. Total current assets, while fluctuating, ended the period at 19,392 million USD, lower than the peaks observed in 2021 and 2022.
Fixed Asset Expansion
Operating property and equipment, net, demonstrates consistent and substantial growth, rising from 31,915 million USD in March 2021 to 47,071 million USD by March 2026. This steady increase indicates a sustained period of capital expenditure and investment in core operational infrastructure. Additionally, operating lease right-of-use assets remained relatively stable for several years before trending upward to 5,740 million USD by the end of the analyzed period.
Noncurrent Asset Composition
Noncurrent assets grew from 45,643 million USD to 61,549 million USD over the reported timeframe. While operating property and equipment drove the bulk of this increase, other components remained stagnant or declined. Goodwill remained constant at 4,527 million USD throughout the entire period, while intangible assets showed a marginal, steady decline from 2,840 million USD to 2,650 million USD, consistent with standard amortization patterns.
Overall Asset Structure Shift
The balance sheet reflects a transition from a liquidity-heavy position to an asset-heavy position. In March 2021, current assets represented approximately 25.9% of total assets; by March 2026, this proportion decreased to approximately 24.0%, while the weight of noncurrent assets increased. This suggests a transition from a defensive cash-preservation stance to an aggressive growth and capacity-expansion phase.
