Net Income (Loss)
Net income demonstrated considerable volatility across the periods. After peaking notably in early 2021 at 5021 million USD, the figure experienced sharp declines including a loss of -1248 million USD in late 2021, followed by recovery and another spike reaching 6135 million USD by late 2025. Overall, the trend reflects cyclical fluctuations with intermittent significant improvements.
Depreciation
Depreciation steadily increased from 336 million USD in late 2019 to 1704 million USD in late 2025, indicating continuous investment in fixed assets or capital expenditures over time.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization showed a general gradual decline from 414 million USD in late 2019 to around 406 million USD in late 2025, with a short-term spike occurring in 2022 coinciding with an acquisition event. This suggests some changes in intangible asset valuation or acquisition activities affecting amortization levels.
Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes experienced large fluctuations, with persistent negative values and exceptions. Periods of significant negative deferred taxes indicate possible tax strategy adjustments, timing differences, or valuation changes impacting income tax accounting.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based compensation steadily increased from 446 million USD in late 2019 to a peak exceeding 1150 million USD in late 2025, reflecting growing use of equity incentives as part of compensation strategy.
Gains from Investments and Other, Net
Investment gains exhibited high volatility, including negative values such as -2391 million USD in early 2025, offset by significant positive spikes including 300 million USD in mid-2023. This variability points to fluctuating investment returns or one-time gains/losses.
Working Capital Changes
Changes in trade receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and deferred revenues showed notable fluctuations, indicating irregular cash flow impacts from operating assets and liabilities. Periods with large increases or decreases in deferred revenues and accounts payable suggest shifts in billing or payment timing.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Operating cash flow was generally strong and growing, with a dip into negative territory in late 2021 but recovering substantially thereafter. Peaks above 8000 million USD in late 2025 underline robust cash generation from core operations despite interim volatility.
Investing Activities
Investing cash flows were largely negative due to heavy capital expenditures that escalated from -386 million USD in 2019 to over -12033 million USD in 2025, indicating aggressive investment in fixed assets. Acquisitions had a notable impact in 2022 with a large one-time outflow. Marketable securities transactions showed mixed activity but primarily cash inflows from maturities and sales.
Financing Activities
Financing cash flows were highly volatile with sizable outflows for common stock repurchases and dividends, partially offset by issuance of senior notes and other borrowings. Occasional net inflows suggest strategic capital raises. The repurchase of common stock dropped sharply in frequency and magnitude towards the end of the timeframe.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash levels were highly variable, with significant increases and decreases reflecting the combined effects of operating, investing, and financing activities. The large oscillations emphasize the company’s active capital management strategies and response to market conditions over time.
