Total assets exhibited a steady upward trajectory from March 2021 through December 2023, followed by a substantial structural increase in the second quarter of 2024. Total assets rose from 333,770 million US dollars in March 2021 to 376,317 million US dollars by the end of 2023. A significant expansion occurred in June 2024, where total assets jumped to 460,707 million US dollars, subsequently stabilizing and reaching 464,410 million US dollars by March 2026.
- Liquidity and Cash Management
- Cash and cash equivalents experienced a period of aggressive accumulation between March 2021 and September 2023, peaking at 32,944 million US dollars. Following this peak, a consistent downward trend is observed, with cash reserves declining to 8,435 million US dollars by March 2026. This suggests a shift from cash accumulation to significant capital deployment during the latter half of the analyzed period.
- Fixed Asset Expansion
- Property, plant and equipment (PP&E), net, remained relatively stable or declined slightly between 2021 and early 2024, moving from 224,641 million US dollars to 213,723 million US dollars. However, a sharp increase is noted in June 2024, where the value surged to 298,283 million US dollars. This abrupt increase of approximately 84,560 million US dollars indicates a major acquisition or a massive investment in infrastructure that fundamentally altered the company's asset base.
- Working Capital Trends
- Notes and accounts receivable, net, showed a general long-term increase, starting at 24,755 million US dollars in March 2021 and spiking to 61,783 million US dollars by March 2026. Similarly, inventories trended upward, increasing from 18,357 million US dollars in March 2021 to a peak of 27,238 million US dollars in September 2025, before slightly moderating to 24,975 million US dollars in March 2026. These trends suggest an expansion in operational scale and credit extension to customers.
- Long-term Asset Composition
- Long-term assets mirrored the growth pattern of PP&E, rising from 285,575 million US dollars in March 2021 to 366,623 million US dollars in March 2026. The most significant growth occurred in the transition between March 2024 and June 2024, coinciding with the surge in net property, plant and equipment. Other assets, including intangibles, also saw a gradual increase from 16,753 million US dollars to 21,717 million US dollars over the full period.
