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 experienced a significant expansion over the analyzed period, growing from 46,838 million USD in March 2021 to 116,576 million USD by March 2026. This growth trajectory accelerated notably starting in 2023, reflecting a substantial increase in the company's overall resource base and operational scale.
- Current Asset Dynamics
- Current assets grew from 16,605 million USD to 54,835 million USD. This increase was primarily driven by accounts receivable, which rose from 5,593 million USD to 18,429 million USD, and inventories, which expanded from 3,661 million USD to 14,529 million USD. The steady rise in these two metrics suggests a significant scaling of commercial activity and production capacity. Cash and cash equivalents remained relatively stable for several years before exhibiting high volatility in 2025, peaking at 9,792 million USD in September 2025 before declining to 5,282 million USD by March 2026.
- A notable structural shift occurred in the composition of current assets around December 2023. Other current assets, which previously stood at 5,361 million USD in September 2023, dropped sharply to 259 million USD, coinciding with the first appearance of prepaid expenses at 5,541 million USD. Prepaid expenses subsequently grew to a peak of 20,249 million USD in September 2025, suggesting a reclassification of assets or a shift in payment terms with suppliers and service providers.
- Noncurrent Asset Expansion
- Noncurrent assets increased from 30,234 million USD in March 2021 to 61,741 million USD in March 2026. The most prominent driver was property and equipment, net, which more than tripled from 8,630 million USD to 26,540 million USD. This consistent upward trend indicates aggressive capital expenditure and investment in physical infrastructure. Deferred tax assets also saw substantial growth, rising from 2,650 million USD to 11,350 million USD, reflecting changes in the company's tax position or future taxable income expectations.
- Intangible assets and goodwill remained relatively stable compared to physical assets. Goodwill increased modestly from 3,877 million USD to 6,130 million USD, while other intangibles, net, showed a slight downward trend before stabilizing around 7,374 million USD by March 2026.
- Overall Balance Sheet Analysis
- The transition from a total asset base of approximately 47 billion USD to over 116 billion USD indicates a period of rapid corporate expansion. The parallel growth in property and equipment, inventories, and accounts receivable suggests that the expansion is operational in nature, tied to increased production and sales volume rather than purely financial acquisitions. The liquidity profile has shifted, with current assets now representing a larger proportion of the total balance sheet than in 2021, largely due to the surge in working capital requirements.
