The financial data demonstrates a consistent upward trend in revenues over the analyzed period. Revenues increased substantially from 11,799 million US dollars in 2005 to 57,399 million US dollars in 2025, indicating strong sales growth and business expansion. This growth appears relatively steady, with noticeable acceleration in particular years, especially from 2022 onwards.

Operating income similarly shows an overall increasing trend, rising from 4,022 million US dollars in 2005 to 17,678 million US dollars in 2025. Operating income peaked in 2012 at 13,706 million US dollars, followed by a slight decline and fluctuations before recovering and exceeding previous peaks in later years. This pattern suggests some operational challenges or restructuring phases but ultimately improving profitability from core operations.

Net income exhibits a more volatile pattern compared to revenues and operating income. Starting at 2,886 million US dollars in 2005, it generally increased to a high of 13,746 million US dollars in 2021, followed by significant fluctuations including a steep drop to 3,825 million US dollars in 2018. Despite this volatility, net income recovers and reaches 12,443 million US dollars by 2025. The variability in net income may reflect changes in non-operating expenses, tax impacts, or extraordinary items affecting bottom-line profitability.

Overall, the data reflects strong revenue growth supported by improving operational performance, while net income demonstrates episodes of volatility that likely warrant further examination of non-operational factors influencing earnings. The positive trends in both revenues and operating income suggest effective management and successful execution of business strategies over the long term.

The financial data reveals several notable trends in the asset composition and overall asset base over the periods analyzed.

Current Assets
There is a general upward trend in current assets from May 31, 2005, through May 31, 2018, with values increasing from 8,479 million USD to a peak of 75,964 million USD. This growth indicates a strengthening in liquid resources or short-term asset holdings during this timeframe. However, beginning in May 31, 2019, current assets show a significant decline, dropping sharply to 46,386 million USD, then fluctuating with a further downward move reaching 21,004 million USD by May 31, 2023, before showing slight recovery toward the end of the period with 24,579 million USD in May 31, 2025. This significant reduction in current assets in the later years suggests possible changes in asset management strategy, liquidity, or working capital requirements.
Total Assets
Total assets also exhibit robust growth from 20,687 million USD in May 31, 2005, to a high of 137,264 million USD by May 31, 2018. This suggests a strong expansion in the overall asset base over the 13-year span, reflecting investment or acquisition activities. A decline occurs in 2019 to 108,709 million USD, but total assets recover and fluctuate modestly, reaching 168,361 million USD in May 31, 2025, which restores and surpasses previous peaks. This pattern signals periods of contraction followed by expansion or asset revaluation.

Comparing the two asset categories, it is notable that total assets continuously grow at a much larger scale compared to current assets. The divergence after 2018, particularly the steep decline in current assets versus the recovery in total assets, may imply an increase in long-term asset holdings or a shift towards less liquid assets. Overall, the data reflects phases of growth, consolidation, and strategic shifts affecting the composition and scale of assets.

The financial data reveals several notable trends in the liabilities and equity structure over the 20-year period analyzed.

Current liabilities
Current liabilities exhibited fluctuations with a general upward trend. Initial years showed moderate values around US$6,930 million to US$10,029 million, peaking significantly in the period from 2013 to 2017, with the highest value recorded at US$24,178 million in 2017. Post-2017, current liabilities varied but showed a marked increase reaching over US$32,643 million by 2025. This indicates a growing short-term obligation profile over time, notably intensifying in the latter part of the series.
Total liabilities
Total liabilities steadily increased from US$9,850 million in 2005 to a peak hovering around US$147,392 million in 2025. There was a sharp rise between 2007 and 2012, with some fluctuations, but the overall trajectory supports a substantial growth in total obligations. The escalation in total liabilities suggests a significant leverage increase or accumulation of debts and financial obligations.
Notes payable and other borrowings
Borrowings showed a consistent and pronounced upward trend throughout the period, starting at US$2,852 million in 2005 and rising steeply to US$92,568 million by 2025. The growth was especially marked from 2010 onward, suggesting increased reliance on debt financing over time. This pattern also aligns closely with the increase in total liabilities, indicating that a significant portion of liabilities consists of borrowings.
Total stockholders’ equity
Shareholders' equity demonstrated considerable volatility and decline after peaking around 2011 at approximately US$39,776 million. There was a notable decrease from 2014 onwards, reaching negative territory by 2022 (-US$6,220 million), which indicates accumulated deficits or losses. Although there was some recovery from 2023 to 2025, reaching US$20,451 million, the fluctuations indicate financial instability or restructuring impacting equity.

Overall, the company shows a pattern of increasing leverage through growing liabilities, primarily through rising borrowings. The decline and volatility in shareholders’ equity contrast with the increasing liabilities, suggesting potential financial stress or strategic shifts in capital structure. The substantial increase in current liabilities and notes payable could signal greater short-term financial risk, while the recovery in equity in recent years may reflect efforts toward stabilization or capital injections.

Operating Activities

The net cash provided by operating activities shows a general upward trend from 2005 to 2025, starting at $3,552 million and increasing to $20,821 million. There are fluctuations in certain years, such as a notable peak in 2012 of $13,743 million and a decrease in 2022 to $9,539 million, but overall the cash generated from operations increases significantly over the period, indicating improving operational efficiency and profitability.

Investing Activities

The pattern of net cash used for or provided by investing activities is more volatile. Initial years show substantial cash outflows, particularly in 2005 (-$5,753 million) and 2016 (-$21,494 million), suggesting significant investments or acquisitions. Some years feature positive inflows from investing activities, notably in 2019 ($26,557 million) and 2022 ($11,220 million), which may indicate asset sales or investment maturities. However, large negative values, such as -$36,484 million in 2023, highlight considerable reinvestment or capital expenditures, reflecting an aggressive investment strategy in certain periods.

Financing Activities

Net cash flows from financing activities fluctuate considerably, alternating between positive and negative values. Early years show modest positive inflows, but mid-period years exhibit both significant cash outflows (e.g., -$42,056 million in 2019) and inflows (e.g., $9,086 million in 2017). This volatility suggests active management of debt, equity issuance, or share repurchases. The variability indicates adjustments in capital structure that respond dynamically to financing needs or strategic financial decisions over time.

Overall Cash Flow Analysis

The company demonstrates strong operational cash generation that has generally increased across the two decades. Investing activities are characterized by substantial and irregular cash outflows and occasional inflows, reflecting inconsistent investment timing or scale. Financing cash flows show significant volatility, implying active engagement in capital restructuring or financing markets. Collectively, these patterns illustrate a growth-driven company with fluctuating investment and financing activities that adapt to operational cash flow trends and strategic priorities.

1, 2, 3 Data adjusted for splits and stock dividends.


The analysis of the earnings per share (EPS) figures reveals a generally upward trend over the observed period, with some fluctuations. Basic earnings per share increased steadily from $0.56 in 2005 to a peak of $2.42 in 2014, followed by a brief decline and stabilization around the $2.10 to $2.30 range until 2017. A notable drop to $0.93 occurred in 2018, after which the EPS rebounded strongly, reaching $4.46 by 2025. Diluted earnings per share followed a very similar pattern to basic EPS, with a slight lag in the lowest values observed and ending slightly below the basic EPS values throughout the period.

Regarding dividends per share, the data begins showing values from the fiscal year 2010 onward, starting with a relatively modest dividend of $0.05. From 2010, dividends per share exhibited consistent growth, increasing nearly every year without decline. The dividend rose from $0.05 in 2010 to $1.70 in 2025, more than a 30-fold increase, which indicates a sustained commitment to returning value to shareholders through dividends. This growth in dividends aligns with the overall upward trend in earnings, suggesting improved profitability and cash generation capacity enabling regular shareholder payouts.

The divergence between earnings per share and dividends per share suggests an ongoing strategy of profit retention and reinvestment during the earlier years, transitioning to more considerable dividend increases in later years as earnings solidified at higher levels. The dip in EPS in 2018 did not appear to halt the long-term increase in dividends, implying strong confidence in the company's financial stability despite temporary fluctuations in earnings.

Overall, the trends in both earnings and dividends per share point to a company that has demonstrated significant profitability growth over the long term, coupled with a commitment to steadily increasing shareholder returns through dividends. The brief fluctuation in earnings around 2018 may warrant further investigation but does not undermine the broader positive financial trajectory observed.
