The financial data demonstrates various trends over the reported quarterly periods across multiple asset categories.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
This asset exhibited significant fluctuations. Starting at $2,151 million in March 2020, it declined to $416 million by December 2022 but rebounded strongly to $3,148 million by October 2023. Subsequently, it decreased to around $1,638 million by June 2025, indicating volatility in liquidity levels.
Short-term Investments
Short-term investments showed an upward trend in early periods, peaking at $42,153 million in July 2023 after growth from $8,199 million in March 2020. However, there was a marked decline afterward, falling to $11,611 million by June 2025, suggesting a reduction in short-term marketable securities holding post-peak.
Restricted Short-term Investments
Data is only available for June and September 2020, both showing values around $11,412 million, then no further data, indicating either discontinuation or unavailability of this asset category in subsequent periods.
Trade Accounts Receivable, Net
Receivables increased moderately from $9,881 million in March 2020 to $16,076 million in October 2022, followed by a substantial decrease to approximately $10,952 million by December 2022. They later fluctuated within the $11,000 million to $14,451 million range through June 2025, implying variability in credit sales or collections efficiency.
Inventories
Inventories showed moderate growth overall, starting at $8,423 million in March 2020, peaking near $11,721 million by September 2024, before slightly tapering to about $11,669 million by June 2025. This steady increase may reflect growing product stock or raw materials on hand.
Current Tax Assets
These assets remained generally stable, fluctuating between $2,500 million and $4,200 million in most periods, with a small dip in the middle period and some recovery towards the end of the timeline.
Other Current Assets
The values for other current assets varied significantly, increasing from roughly $2,500 million to a peak near $6,147 million in October 2022, then gradually declining towards about $2,691 million by June 2025, highlighting shifts in miscellaneous current assets composition or valuation.
Current Assets Total
The total current assets experienced notable volatility. Beginning at $34,738 million in March 2020, they rose to $70,403 million by October 2022, then sharply decreased to approximately $43,703 million by June 2025. This pattern mirrors the fluctuations observed in cash, investments, and receivables, suggesting significant movement within short-term asset management.
Equity-method Investments
These investments decreased substantially mid-period from $15,524 million in March 2020 to just a few hundred million by 2025, reflecting possible divestments or impairments in equity-method accounted assets.
Long-term Investments
Long-term investments initially increased until about October 2021, peaking near $5,248 million, then declined steadily to under $2,000 million by June 2025, which may indicate asset disposals or reclassifications.
Property, Plant and Equipment (net)
There was a generally positive trend, with net property, plant, and equipment rising from about $14,040 million to approximately $18,776 million by mid-2025, suggesting ongoing investment in fixed assets.
Identifiable Intangible Assets, Net
This asset category exhibited volatility, decreasing initially from $34,464 million to about $25,146 million by December 2021, followed by a sharp rise to nearly $64,900 million by December 2023, before declining gradually to about $52,702 million by June 2025. The large peak suggests a significant intangible asset acquisition or revaluation during 2022-2023.
Goodwill
Goodwill remained relatively stable around $49,000 million until December 2021, then surged to above $67,000 million by December 2023, and maintained levels near $68,997 million into mid-2025, indicating major acquisitions or goodwill adjustments during 2022-2023.
Noncurrent Deferred Tax and Other Noncurrent Tax Assets
These assets showed consistent growth from $2,207 million in early 2020 to over $10,343 million by June 2025, demonstrating increased recognition of deferred tax assets or tax-related asset optimization strategies.
Other Noncurrent Assets
Other noncurrent assets increased from around $4,165 million to over $13,000 million by late 2022, then decreased to $9,454 million by mid-2025, indicating fluctuations in long-term miscellaneous asset holdings.
Noncurrent Assets Total
The total noncurrent assets demonstrated growth from approximately $131,598 million in early 2020 to a peak of about $183,168 million by December 2023, followed by reductions to around $162,392 million by mid-2025, showing an overall expansion of long-term asset base with some subsequent contractions.
Total Assets
Total assets increased overall from $166,336 million in March 2020 to a high of approximately $226,501 million by December 2023, then decreased to around $206,095 million by June 2025. This reflects the combined effects of the asset category fluctuations described above.
