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 exhibit a steady upward trajectory from March 2021 through late 2025, followed by a significant acceleration in the first quarter of 2026. The total asset base grew from 34.08 billion USD in March 2021 to 41.25 billion USD by December 2025, before surging to 57.45 billion USD by September 2026. This growth is characterized by consistent organic increases in operational assets and a substantial inorganic expansion in early 2026.
- Current Asset Trends
- Current assets grew from 9.91 billion USD in early 2021 to 16.03 billion USD by September 2026. This growth was primarily driven by a sustained increase in accounts receivable and inventory. Accounts receivable rose from 3.07 billion USD to 7.15 billion USD over the analyzed period, while inventory more than doubled from 2.40 billion USD to 5.94 billion USD. These trends suggest an expansion in sales volume and a corresponding increase in the working capital required to support higher operational scale.
- Cash and short-term investments displayed higher volatility. Short-term investments peaked at 2.12 billion USD in December 2023 before declining sharply in 2025. A notable liquidity spike occurred in March 2025, where cash balances reached 1.78 billion USD, significantly above the historical average of approximately 300 to 500 million USD.
- Fixed Asset and Infrastructure Investment
- Net property, plant, and equipment (PPE) showed consistent growth, increasing from 2.92 billion USD in March 2021 to 4.82 billion USD by September 2026. Gross PPE followed a similar path, rising from 7.54 billion USD to 10.72 billion USD. This indicates a steady commitment to capital expenditure and capacity expansion. Accumulated depreciation grew proportionally, reflecting the aging of the asset base alongside new additions.
- Intangible Assets and Strategic Acquisitions
- A profound shift in the asset structure is observed in March 2026. Goodwill jumped from 14.85 billion USD in December 2025 to 21.40 billion USD in March 2026. Simultaneously, other intangible assets surged from 4.59 billion USD to 11.26 billion USD in the same period. The simultaneous spike in both goodwill and intangible assets strongly indicates a major acquisition event during the first quarter of 2026, which fundamentally altered the composition of the balance sheet, shifting a larger portion of total assets into non-physical, strategic holdings.
- Operational Asset Composition
- The ratio of current assets to total assets remained relatively stable until the 2026 acquisition. Prior to 2026, current assets typically represented approximately 25% to 30% of the total asset base. Following the increase in noncurrent assets in 2026, the proportion of current assets decreased relative to the total, as the balance sheet became more heavily weighted toward goodwill and intangible assets.
