Total assets exhibit a consistent and substantial upward trajectory over the analyzed period, growing from approximately 33.17 billion USD in November 2019 to 68.81 billion USD by May 2026. This expansion represents a more than twofold increase in the total asset base, driven primarily by growth in both current and non-current asset categories.

Current Asset Dynamics
Current assets increased from 15.61 billion USD to 28.94 billion USD. The most significant driver within this category is the growth of receivables and contract assets, which climbed from 8.58 billion USD to 16.04 billion USD, indicating a scaled volume of business activity and increased billings. Cash and cash equivalents demonstrate higher volatility, characterized by cyclical fluctuations; however, a general increase is noted toward the end of the period, peaking at 11.48 billion USD in August 2025 before stabilizing around 10.17 billion USD.
Non-Current Asset Expansion
Non-current assets experienced aggressive growth, rising from 17.56 billion USD to 39.87 billion USD. This trend is overwhelmingly dominated by the increase in goodwill, which surged from 6.30 billion USD in November 2019 to 25.32 billion USD by May 2026. The substantial rise in goodwill, coupled with the emergence of reported intangibles starting in May 2024 (averaging between 2.3 billion and 2.9 billion USD), points toward a sustained and aggressive inorganic growth strategy through acquisitions.
Fixed and Other Long-Term Assets
Property and equipment, net, remained relatively stable, fluctuating within a narrow band between 1.39 billion USD and 1.66 billion USD, suggesting that the company's growth is not heavily dependent on physical infrastructure. Operating lease assets showed a gradual decline from a peak of 3.18 billion USD to 2.97 billion USD. Conversely, long-term investments showed a marked increase in the latter half of the period, growing from approximately 278 million USD to 925 million USD.
Working Capital and Liquidity Trends
The balance sheet reflects a shift toward a more asset-heavy structure. While liquidity remains robust due to high cash reserves, the steady climb in receivables suggests a growing amount of capital tied up in operations. Deferred contract costs also showed a steady increase from 691 million USD to 1.14 billion USD, reflecting higher upfront investments in securing long-term contracts.
