Starting at around 5,603 million USD in July 2019, investments increase to a high of 9,562 million USD in January 2021, then slightly decrease and stabilize around 6,500-7,000 million USD in the later periods, showing moderate growth toward the end of the analyzed timeframe.

- Accounts receivable remain relatively stable with minor fluctuations. Values fluctuate between approximately 4,645 million USD (April 2020) and 6,389 million USD (October 2025). There is a slight upward trend from early 2022 onward, indicating some growth in receivables over time.
- Inventories
- Inventories show a steady increasing trend across the periods, rising from 3,932 million USD in July 2019 to 6,156 million USD by October 2025. This indicates ongoing accumulation or increase in stock levels, with some minor periods of stabilization or slight declines.
