Balance Sheet: Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
Quarterly Data

The balance sheet provides creditors, investors, and analysts with information on company resources (assets) and its sources of capital (its equity and liabilities). It normally also provides information about the future earnings capacity of a company assets as well as an indication of cash flows that may come from receivables and inventories.

Liabilities represents obligations of a company arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow of economic benefits from the entity.

Total liabilities exhibit a consistent long-term upward trajectory, increasing from 17.36 billion USD in March 2021 to 23.10 billion USD by June 2026. This growth is characterized by a steady rise in both current and long-term obligations, contributing to an overall expansion of the balance sheet. Total liabilities and shareholders' equity grew from 20.44 billion USD to 26.95 billion USD over the analyzed period, reflecting a broader increase in the company's financial scale.

Current Liabilities Trends: Current liabilities grew from 5.65 billion USD in March 2021 to a peak of 9.63 billion USD in June 2026. Short-term borrowings displayed significant volatility, with notable spikes in early 2022 and again in 2025 and 2026, suggesting active use of short-term credit facilities to manage liquidity. Accounts payable remained relatively stable, generally fluctuating between 2.25 billion USD and 2.83 billion USD. The current portion of long-term debt showed erratic patterns, reaching a peak of 1.50 billion USD in June 2026 after several periods of fluctuation, indicating a shifting schedule of debt maturities.
Long-Term Obligations: Long-term liabilities increased from 11.70 billion USD in March 2021 to 13.47 billion USD by June 2026. While long-term debt, excluding the current portion, remained relatively stable within the 7.6 billion USD to 9.6 billion USD range, "other long-term liabilities" saw a steady and substantial increase, nearly doubling from 1.37 billion USD to 2.60 billion USD. This suggests a growing accumulation of non-debt long-term obligations. Long-term operating lease liabilities also trended upward, rising from 1.40 billion USD to 1.66 billion USD.
Shareholders' Equity Dynamics: Shareholders' equity experienced a period of initial decline, dropping to a low of 2.22 billion USD in June 2022, before recovering to a peak of 4.60 billion USD in September 2025. This recovery was primarily driven by a significant accumulation of retained earnings, which grew from 1.10 billion USD in March 2021 to a peak of 8.74 billion USD in September 2025. However, a sharp contraction occurred between September 2025 and June 2026, with equity falling to 3.85 billion USD. This decline coincides with a dramatic reduction in retained earnings and a corresponding shift in treasury stock values, suggesting a major corporate action such as significant dividends, share repurchases, or a capital restructuring event.
Capital Structure and Leverage: The relationship between liabilities and equity indicates a trend toward higher leverage. While shareholders' equity grew between 2022 and 2025, the absolute growth in total liabilities consistently outpaced equity growth. The substantial increase in total liabilities toward 2026, combined with the sudden decrease in equity in the final two quarters, suggests a shift toward a more debt-reliant capital structure at the end of the observed period.
