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 consistent long-term growth trajectory, increasing from 89,993 million USD in April 2021 to 107,950 million USD by October 2026. This expansion was driven by both the growth of current assets and a moderate increase in noncurrent assets, reflecting a gradual expansion of the balance sheet over the five-year period.
- Liquidity and Current Asset Trends
- Current assets grew from 21,932 million USD in early 2021 to 33,326 million USD by late 2026. This growth was primarily supported by a significant increase in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, which peaked at 17,399 million USD in June 2024 before stabilizing. Inventories also trended upward, rising from 3,356 million USD to 4,410 million USD, suggesting an increase in operational scale or strategic stockpiling. A notable shift occurred in December 2025 with the emergence of assets held for sale, which grew to 6,275 million USD by October 2026, contributing significantly to the overall current asset total in the final quarters of the period.
- Noncurrent Asset Composition
- Noncurrent assets increased from 68,061 million USD to 74,624 million USD. Equity method investments showed a steady upward trend, moving from 18,966 million USD to 20,710 million USD. A sharp increase was observed in other noncurrent assets, which jumped from approximately 7,912 million USD in June 2024 to 15,476 million USD by October 2026. In contrast, property, plant, and equipment remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 9,243 million USD and 10,902 million USD throughout the analyzed timeframe.
- Intangible Asset Adjustments
- Trademarks with indefinite lives remained largely stable, although a slight downward adjustment is noted toward the end of the period, ending at 12,459 million USD. A more significant change occurred in goodwill, which remained steady around 18,000 million USD for several years before experiencing a notable decline to 15,408 million USD by October 2026. This reduction in goodwill, coinciding with the appearance of assets held for sale, suggests a strategic divestiture or impairment of specific business units.
- Tax and Other Asset Patterns
- Deferred income tax assets demonstrated a consistent downward trend, decreasing from 2,332 million USD in April 2021 to 1,086 million USD by October 2026. This steady decline indicates a gradual utilization or write-down of these assets over the period.
