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.

The total asset base exhibits a long-term upward trajectory, increasing from 75,426 million USD in April 2021 to 93,281 million USD by September 2026. This growth is primarily driven by expansions in long-term assets, specifically through capital expenditures and strategic acquisitions, while current assets demonstrate significant volatility over the observed period.
- Liquidity and Short-Term Asset Volatility
- Cash and equivalents show substantial fluctuations, peaking at 12,277 million USD in September 2023 before experiencing a sharp decline to a low of 1,528 million USD in September 2025. This volatility suggests periodic large-scale cash outflows, likely associated with acquisitions, debt repayment, or shareholder returns, followed by phases of accumulation.
- Working Capital Dynamics
- Trade accounts receivable remained relatively stable, generally oscillating between 3,300 million USD and 4,900 million USD, indicating consistent credit management. Total inventories peaked in March 2023 at 3,383 million USD and showed a subsequent increase toward the end of the period, reaching 3,260 million USD by March 2026. The growth in finished goods and raw materials toward 2026 suggests an expansion in production capacity or an increase in safety stock levels.
- Fixed Asset Expansion
- Property, plant, and equipment (net) demonstrate a consistent and steady growth pattern, rising from 3,266 million USD in April 2021 to 5,773 million USD by September 2026. This uninterrupted increase reflects a sustained commitment to capital investment and the expansion of physical infrastructure.
- Intangible Assets and Strategic Growth
- The asset structure is heavily weighted toward goodwill and intangible assets, which together represent the largest portion of the balance sheet. Goodwill remained relatively stable around 40,000 million USD for several years before a significant increase to 47,414 million USD in June 2026. This spike, coinciding with a rise in other intangible assets to 21,358 million USD in the same period, indicates the execution of a substantial acquisition.
- Overall Asset Composition
- The proportion of total assets held in long-term categories consistently outweighs current assets. While current assets fluctuated between approximately 9,500 million USD and 21,200 million USD, long-term assets grew from 61,414 million USD to 78,494 million USD, underscoring a corporate strategy focused on long-term value creation through asset accumulation and inorganic growth.
