It started at 9.45% in 2020, decreased to 7.99% in 2021, then increased again to 9.82% in 2022, followed by a slight decline to 9.1% in 2023 and further to 8.04% in 2024. This indicates a moderate volatility in cash holdings as a percentage of total assets.
Marketable securities
This category first rose from 9.25% in 2020 to 11.3% in 2021, signaling an increased allocation to short-term investments.

The trend suggests a strategic decrease in marketable securities holdings over the latter years.

The net investment in operating leases consistently decreased from 10.46% in 2020 to 7.82% in 2023, with a minor uptick to 8.05% in 2024. This steady decline over the years may reflect a strategic reduction in leasing activities or asset reallocation.
