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 sustained long-term upward trajectory, increasing from 80,729 million USD in March 2021 to 102,609 million USD by June 2026. This growth was characterized by periodic fluctuations, with a notable acceleration in asset accumulation beginning in late 2024 and continuing through the first half of 2026.
- Current Asset Composition and Liquidity
- Current assets grew from 42,581 million USD to 54,450 million USD over the analyzed period. The most prominent driver of this increase was inventories, which rose substantially from 12,149 million USD in March 2021 to 20,627 million USD by June 2026, suggesting a significant expansion in stock levels or a strategic build-up to support increased demand.
- Cash and cash equivalents displayed significant volatility. After peaking in early 2021 at 11,342 million USD, reserves entered a general decline, reaching a low of 3,562 million USD in March 2025 before partially recovering to 6,713 million USD by June 2026. This trend indicates a shift in liquidity management or increased capital expenditure.
- Trade and other receivables grew steadily, rising from 7,955 million USD in March 2021 to 13,188 million USD in June 2026. Finance receivables followed a similar, albeit more moderate, upward path, increasing from 9,333 million USD to 10,844 million USD.
- Noncurrent Asset Trends
- Noncurrent assets increased from 38,148 million USD in March 2021 to 48,159 million USD by June 2026. Net property, plant, and equipment showed a consistent gradual increase, moving from 12,132 million USD to 15,628 million USD, reflecting ongoing investment in physical infrastructure.
- Long-term receivables showed diverging patterns; while finance receivables grew steadily from 11,966 million USD to 14,364 million USD, trade and other long-term receivables experienced a sharp acceleration in the final two years, climbing from approximately 1,200 million USD to 3,086 million USD by June 2026.
- A contrasting downward trend was observed in intangible assets, which declined from 1,246 million USD in March 2021 to 420 million USD in June 2026, likely due to scheduled amortization. Goodwill remained relatively stable for several years around the 5,300 million USD mark before increasing to 5,859 million USD in early 2026.
The overall asset profile reveals a transition toward a more inventory-heavy balance sheet and an increase in long-term credit exposure. The growth in total assets is primarily driven by operational assets—specifically inventories and receivables—rather than cash reserves, indicating an aggressive expansion of the operational cycle and a potential increase in the scale of business activities.
