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 upward trajectory over the observed period, growing from 333.77 billion USD in March 2021 to 470.92 billion USD by September 2026. This expansion was characterized by a period of steady growth followed by a substantial leap in total asset value during the second quarter of 2024, primarily driven by a sharp increase in long-term fixed assets.
- Liquidity and Cash Position
- Cash and cash equivalents exhibited high volatility, starting at 3.52 billion USD in March 2021 and peaking at 32.65 billion USD in March 2023. Following this peak, a consistent downward trend emerged, with cash balances declining to 8.44 billion USD by March 2026, before a modest recovery to 12.15 billion USD by the end of the period. Restricted cash remained negligible for several years before a temporary spike to 1.48 billion USD in December 2024.
- Working Capital Trends
- Current assets grew from 48.20 billion USD in early 2021 to 107.63 billion USD by September 2026. This growth was largely supported by notes and accounts receivable, which rose from 24.76 billion USD to 66.53 billion USD, with the most aggressive increase occurring between December 2025 and September 2026. Inventories also showed a general upward trend, increasing from 18.36 billion USD to 24.80 billion USD, reflecting an expansion in the volume of crude oil, products, and merchandise held.
- Fixed Asset Expansion
- Property, plant, and equipment (PPE), net, showed a gradual decline from 224.64 billion USD in March 2021 to a low of 203.10 billion USD in September 2022. A pivotal shift occurred in June 2024, where PPE surged from 213.72 billion USD to 298.28 billion USD. This sudden increase suggests a major capital investment or acquisition, after which the value remained relatively stable, ending at 296.96 billion USD in September 2026.
- Long-term Asset Composition
- Long-term assets rose from 285.58 billion USD in March 2021 to 363.29 billion USD in September 2026. While investments, advances, and long-term receivables remained relatively stable throughout the period, oscillating between 44 billion and 50 billion USD, the overall growth in long-term assets was almost entirely attributable to the aforementioned expansion in PPE and a gradual increase in other assets and intangibles, which grew from 16.75 billion USD to 22.04 billion USD.
