The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several notable trends and fluctuations in asset categories over the observed periods.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
This category exhibits a volatile pattern, with values generally ranging between approximately 300 to 1500 million US dollars. A peak is observed in mid-2020 where cash and equivalents surged to about 1,518 million, followed by a sharp decline by early 2021.
Accounts Receivable, Net
The accounts receivable balance shows moderate fluctuations around the 2,000 to 2,500 million mark, without a pronounced upward or downward long-term trend. There is some intermittent variability, but the values remain relatively stable overall.
Inventories
Inventories display mild variability with values mostly concentrated near 1,700 to 1,900 million, showing no distinct linear trend over the quarters. Slight increases are noted towards the end of the dataset.
Other Current Assets
This component generally trends upward from about 350 million in early periods to over 700 million by the end, indicating a gradual increase in other current asset holdings.
Current Assets
Current assets as a whole maintain relative stability, fluctuating between 5,000 and 6,000 million US dollars. No significant upward or downward trend emerges, suggesting consistent current asset management.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
The net value of property, plant, and equipment remains within a range of roughly 7,000 to 8,000 million, showing modest growth towards the latter periods. This suggests ongoing investments or revaluations in fixed assets.
Investments in Equity Companies
Values for investments in equity companies show slight fluctuations mostly centered around 250 to 350 million, without strong trend characteristics, signaling stable investment levels in equity stakes.
Goodwill
Goodwill values are mostly stable around 1,400 to 1,600 million in early years but manifest a notable increase in the most recent quarters to over 1,800 million. This may indicate acquisitions or reassessments impacting intangible assets.
Other Intangible Assets, Net
Data for other intangible assets appear only in the last two quarters, with values slightly below 850 million, suggesting recognition or reporting of this asset category in recent periods.
Other Assets
Other assets present an increasing trend from approximately 600-700 million up to around 1,200 million towards the final quarters, implying growth in miscellaneous noncurrent asset items.
Noncurrent Assets
Noncurrent assets overall show a gradual increase from near 9,500 million to over 12,000 million, denoting expansion or revaluation of long-term asset holdings.
Total Assets
Total assets fluctuate around 14,500 to 17,500 million, with a general upward trajectory over the observed timeframe, reflecting growth in the company's asset base.

In summary, the asset composition indicates relatively stable current assets with modest increases in noncurrent and total assets. The sharp increase in cash equivalents in mid-2020 followed by a decrease could reflect specific liquidity events. The rise in goodwill and recognition of other intangible assets near the end of the timeframe point to recent strategic changes such as acquisitions or asset reclassifications.
