Total liabilities exhibited a generally increasing trend over the observed period, though with some fluctuation. Beginning at US$20,676 million in May 2020, total liabilities peaked at US$31,566 million in October 2020 before decreasing to US$28,783 million in July 2021. A subsequent rise culminated in US$35,767 million by November 2025. Shareholders’ equity also demonstrated an overall upward trajectory, increasing from US$4,739 million in May 2020 to US$10,190 million in November 2025.

Current Liabilities
Current liabilities showed significant volatility. A substantial increase occurred between May 2020 and October 2020, rising from US$4,670 million to US$11,817 million, likely influenced by seasonal factors or strategic inventory build-up. These levels decreased through early 2021, then fluctuated between approximately US$10,000 million and US$12,000 million before reaching US$14,001 million in November 2025. Accounts payable contributed significantly to this volatility, with similar fluctuations.
Accounts Payable
Accounts payable displayed a pronounced seasonal pattern. Values were relatively low in May 2020 (US$1,071 million) and January 2023 (US$3,794 million), peaking in October 2020 at US$6,143 million and again in November 2024 at US$5,617 million. This suggests a correlation with purchasing patterns related to inventory for peak sales seasons. The most recent value in May 2025 is US$4,698 million.
Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities generally increased over the period, moving from US$2,188 million in May 2020 to US$5,891 million in January 2026. This increase was relatively steady, with some minor fluctuations, indicating a consistent build-up of these obligations. The value in May 2025 is US$5,264 million.
Long-Term Liabilities
Long-term liabilities exhibited a more stable pattern compared to current liabilities. They began at US$16,006 million in May 2020 and generally remained between US$11,500 million and US$16,000 million throughout the observed period, ending at US$12,216 million in November 2025. Long-term debt, exclusive of current installments, constituted a substantial portion of these liabilities, remaining relatively consistent around US$2,800-3,300 million.
Shareholders’ Equity Components
Retained earnings were the primary driver of the increase in shareholders’ equity, growing from US$4,331 million in May 2020 to US$9,434 million in November 2025. Accumulated other comprehensive loss consistently offset some of this gain, but remained relatively stable. Common stock remained constant at US$1 million, while additional paid-in capital experienced a minor increase.

The overall financial position indicates a growing company with increasing liabilities and a corresponding increase in shareholders’ equity. The fluctuations in current liabilities, particularly accounts payable, suggest a strong seasonal component to the business. The consistent growth in retained earnings demonstrates profitability and effective capital management.
