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.

Total assets exhibited a fluctuating but generally upward trajectory over the analyzed period, starting at 150,035 million USD in March 2021 and peaking at 168,235 million USD in December 2025, before settling at 164,787 million USD by March 2026. This expansion is primarily characterized by significant shifts in liquid reserves and a notable increase in long-term asset valuations toward the end of the sequence.
- Liquidity and Cash Management
- Cash and cash equivalents demonstrated significant volatility, with values ranging from a low of 6,173 million USD in September 2025 to a peak of 14,614 million USD in December 2022. Short-term and other investments experienced a prolonged decline from 14,861 million USD in March 2021 to a nadir of 509 million USD in September 2024, followed by a rapid recovery to 18,479 million USD by December 2025. The combined liquidity position shows a pattern of depletion followed by a substantial replenishment in the final stages of the period.
- Operational Working Capital
- Inventories consistently represent the most substantial component of the asset base. While levels remained relatively stable around 80,000 million USD between 2021 and 2023, a rising trend emerged in 2024, peaking at 89,077 million USD in March 2025. Accounts receivable and unbilled receivables remained comparatively stable, though a gradual increase in net accounts receivable to 3,485 million USD by March 2026 suggests a slight expansion in outstanding customer obligations.
- Fixed and Intangible Assets
- Property, plant, and equipment showed a steady long-term increase, rising from 11,643 million USD in early 2021 to 15,763 million USD by March 2026, indicating sustained capital expenditure. In contrast, acquired intangible assets followed a consistent downward trend, decreasing from 2,773 million USD to 1,517 million USD. A significant structural change is observed in goodwill, which remained stable near 8,000 million USD for several years before surging to 17,633 million USD by March 2026, suggesting a major acquisition or asset revaluation.
- Current Asset Composition
- Current assets generally fluctuated between 106,000 million USD and 128,000 million USD. The volatility in this segment was primarily driven by the interplay between fluctuating cash balances and the growth in inventory. The introduction of assets held for sale in mid-2025, peaking at 1,473 million USD, represents a temporary shift in asset classification during that specific timeframe.
