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 Cash Equivalents
- The cash and cash equivalents exhibit notable fluctuations over the periods. Following a dip between Nov 30, 2019, and Feb 29, 2020, there was a significant increase peaking around May 31, 2021. Subsequently, a decline persisted until Feb 29, 2024, followed by another rise, culminating in a peak at Aug 31, 2025. These fluctuations suggest varying liquidity management strategies or operational cash needs over time.
- Short-term Investments
- Short-term investments have remained relatively stable with minor volatility. Peaks were noticeable around Aug 31, 2020, and Aug 31, 2025, but overall, this component has a minimal contribution compared to cash holdings.
- Receivables and Contract Assets
- Receivables and contract assets show an overall upward trend, reflecting growth in sales or services delivered on credit. A steady increase from Nov 30, 2019, through May 31, 2025, indicates expanding business activity or extended payment terms. Minor periods of plateauing or slight declines occur but do not offset the general rise.
- Other Current Assets
- Other current assets demonstrate a gradually increasing trend with some fluctuations. Growth is observed particularly from Nov 30, 2019, to Aug 31, 2023, with occasional dips that are relatively modest. This trend supports increasing current asset diversity or operational complexity.
- Current Assets
- The total current assets show a general increase from Nov 2019 through Nov 2025, despite some interim volatility, notably a dip around Aug 31, 2021, and Feb 29, 2024. The overall rising trend points to strengthening short-term asset position aligned with the company's growth or operational demands.
- Contract Assets
- Contract assets reveal modest volatility with some periods of increase, particularly from Nov 30, 2021, onward. Peaks around Feb 29, 2024, and subsequent quarters suggest increasing unbilled receivables, potentially indicating higher ongoing contract executions or project activity.
- Investments
- Investments exhibit a generally upward trajectory, with a notable drop around May 31, 2023, followed by a sharp recovery and subsequent increase through Nov 30, 2025. This pattern may reflect portfolio adjustments or strategic investment decisions.
- Property and Equipment, Net
- This asset category remains relatively stable with slight fluctuations around an overall flat trend. There is a minor declining tendency from Nov 30, 2022, onward, possibly due to depreciation or asset disposals exceeding acquisitions during the later periods.
- Operating Lease Assets
- Operating lease assets show a gradual decline from Nov 30, 2019, to Aug 31, 2023, followed by a relatively stable trend. The decline could reflect lease term maturities or strategic changes in leased asset utilization.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill has significantly increased over the analyzed periods, nearly quadrupling from Nov 30, 2019, through Nov 30, 2025. This surge likely indicates acquisitions or business combinations, reflective of expansion through mergers or purchase of intangible value.
- Deferred Contract Costs
- Deferred contract costs show a consistent, gradual increase over time, suggesting sustained investment in contract-related expenditures with recognition occurring over extended periods.
- Deferred Tax Assets
- Deferred tax assets exhibit a mild declining trend overall, with minor fluctuations. This may reflect changing tax positions, asset utilization, or valuation adjustments related to tax planning or timing differences.
- Intangibles
- Intangible assets data is partially unavailable for early periods but shows a downward trend from the earliest available periods starting around Aug 31, 2023, continuing through Nov 30, 2025. This may suggest amortization or impairment of intangible assets.
- Other Non-current Assets
- Other non-current assets present some volatility, with a peak around Aug 31, 2022, then a sharp decline by Aug 31, 2024, followed by recovery through Nov 30, 2025. The volatility implies possible reclassification, disposals, or revaluations in this asset category.
- Non-current Assets
- Non-current assets generally trend upward from Nov 30, 2019, to Nov 30, 2025, consistent with asset growth supporting long-term operations, notwithstanding some fluctuations possibly related to asset disposals or impairments.
- Total Assets
- Total assets increase steadily over the entire period with minor short-term volatility. This upward trend reflects overall business growth, asset acquisitions, and increased investment in operational capacity.
