Total assets exhibited a general upward trajectory from April 2021, increasing from 158.8 billion US$ to a peak of 226.5 billion US$ in December 2023, before stabilizing and slightly declining to 207.6 billion US$ by March 2026. This growth was primarily driven by substantial expansions in non-current assets, particularly through intangible assets and goodwill.

Liquidity and Current Asset Trends: Current assets showed significant volatility, peaking at 74.0 billion US$ in July 2023 before contracting to approximately 42.8 billion US$ by March 2026. This fluctuation is largely attributed to short-term investments, which reached a high of 42.1 billion US$ in July 2023 but declined to 11.3 billion US$ by the end of the analyzed period. Cash and cash equivalents remained relatively low and volatile, with a notable trough of 416 million US$ in December 2022 and a peak of 3.1 billion US$ in October 2023.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill: A structural shift in the balance sheet occurred in December 2023, characterized by a sharp increase in identifiable intangible assets, which rose from 40.2 billion US$ in October 2023 to 64.9 billion US$ in December 2023. Simultaneously, goodwill increased from 51.5 billion US$ in October 2023 to 67.7 billion US$ in December 2023, eventually climbing to 71.4 billion US$ by March 2026. This pattern suggests significant capital allocation toward acquisitions during the 2023-2024 period.
Fixed Assets and Long-Term Investments: Property, plant, and equipment (net) demonstrated a consistent and steady growth trend, rising from 14.0 billion US$ in April 2021 to 19.4 billion US$ in March 2026, indicating ongoing investment in physical infrastructure. In contrast, long-term investments experienced a severe contraction; after remaining relatively stable between 13.8 billion US$ and 21.5 billion US$ from 2021 to 2023, these assets plummeted to 2.2 billion US$ by December 2024 and further decreased to 1.6 billion US$ by March 2026.
Tax and Other Assets: Non-current deferred tax assets and other non-current tax assets showed a general increase over time, growing from 2.5 billion US$ in April 2021 to a peak of 11.0 billion US$ in September 2025. Other non-current assets peaked in December 2022 at 13.1 billion US$ before stabilizing around 9.8 billion US$ in the final quarters of the analysis.

The overall asset composition shifted from a higher reliance on liquid short-term and long-term investments toward a heavier concentration of intangible assets and goodwill. This transition, coupled with the steady increase in net property, plant, and equipment, indicates a strategic pivot toward inorganic growth and infrastructure expansion, financed by the reduction of investment portfolios.
