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.

- Cash and equivalents
- Cash and equivalents experienced significant fluctuations over the examined periods. It started very high at over 41 billion US dollars in March 2020, sharply dropping to around 6 to 12 billion in subsequent quarters. From 2022 to early 2023, cash levels varied between approximately 6.7 and 13.3 billion US dollars, but there was a notable increase at the start of 2024, peaking at 18 billion in the first quarter. After this, it declined steadily toward 5.1 billion by March 2025.
- Short-term investments
- Short-term investments were initially minimal and sporadic, with several quarters of near-zero or very low amounts. A significant spike occurred around the first half of 2022, with holdings rising close to 1.4 to 1.5 billion US dollars, then falling back to a range between 1 to 31 million US dollars in the following quarters.
- Accounts receivable, net
- Accounts receivable steadily increased over time from approximately 6.4 billion US dollars in March 2020 to around 12.5 billion by March 2025. The growth was consistent, with some slight short-term declines but an overall upward trend indicating increasing revenue recognition or sales on credit.
- Inventories
- Inventories showed an overall increasing pattern from about 1.8 billion in early 2020 to over 4.5 billion US dollars by early 2025. The inventory levels fluctuated within this upward trend, suggesting growing operational scale or stock accumulation to meet demand.
- Prepaid expenses and other current assets
- This category displayed a general upward trend, rising from roughly 2.4 billion US dollars in March 2020 to approximately 5.5 billion by March 2025. The increase was consistent across the quarters, reflecting either higher prepaid payments or other current asset accumulation.
- Current assets
- Current assets overall showed a substantial decrease from 51.8 billion US dollars in early 2020 to a low of around 21.3 billion by mid-2020. Thereafter, the amounts fluctuated in a narrower range, mostly between 25 and 39 billion, reflecting changing liquidity and working capital management throughout the observed period.
- Investments
- Long-term investments remained relatively stable, fluctuating modestly between 78 million and 305 million US dollars over the entire period without any pronounced trend.
- Property and equipment, net
- Property and equipment values followed a stable pattern around 3 to 5.2 billion US dollars, without significant increases or decreases. The asset base related to fixed assets is thus relatively constant across the time frame.
- Intangible assets, net
- Intangible assets peaked dramatically at about 82.9 billion US dollars in December 2020, following a major increase from earlier periods. From early 2021 onward, intangible assets exhibited a consistent declining trend, falling toward approximately 58.5 billion by March 2025. This decline may reflect amortization, impairment, or asset revaluation activities.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill rose sharply from 15.6 billion to over 42.8 billion US dollars around mid-2020 but dropped significantly to approximately 32 billion in late 2020. Post-2020, goodwill remained relatively steady near 32 to 35 billion US dollars with minor fluctuations, suggesting stabilization after large prior adjustments.
- Other assets
- Other assets increased steadily from just over 2.6 billion US dollars in early 2020 to around 9.2 billion by March 2025, indicating gradual accumulation or reclassification of non-core or miscellaneous asset categories.
- Long-term assets
- Long-term assets peaked at roughly 128 billion US dollars in mid-2020 and then showed a gradual decrease to approximately 101 to 115 billion US dollars across the following years. Minor rebounds were observed around 2024, but the overall trend is downward, consistent with the movements in intangible assets and goodwill.
- Total assets
- Total assets jumped from about 91 billion US dollars in March 2020 to near 150 billion by end-2020, reflecting significant asset increases particularly in intangible and goodwill categories. Afterward, total assets decreased gradually to a range of 134 to 148 billion up to 2024, then leveling off near 136 billion by March 2025. The changes portray major revaluation and acquisition-related accounting events followed by a trend of consolidation and slight decrease.
