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.

Similarly, long-term noncurrent liabilities grew steadily from about 16,263 million USD in May 2019 to over 22,000 million USD by early 2020s, with peaks and troughs but generally trending upward.

Accrued and other current liabilities exhibited a steady increase over the period, growing from 3,823 million USD in May 2019 to over 6,000 million USD by late 2024 and early 2025. The current portion of long-term debt and other borrowings fluctuated widely, with a notable spike around October 2022 reaching over 2,200 million USD before reducing to roughly 1,139 million USD in February 2024, then fluctuating again.
Noncurrent operating lease liabilities steadily increased from around 2,064 million USD in 2019 to peak at over 3,500 million USD in late 2024, indicating growing lease obligations. Deferred income taxes experienced a gradual upward trend from approximately 1,034 million USD in mid-2019 to just over 2,500 million USD by late 2023, with some fluctuations thereafter. Other noncurrent liabilities remained mostly stable with minor fluctuations in the range of 1,600 - 2,100 million USD.

Retained earnings showed substantial growth over time, with some volatility: starting at 5,958 million USD in May 2019, rising to above 7,500 million USD by mid-2021, experiencing a dip in early 2022, and recovering to around 8,360 million USD by May 2025.

- Balance Sheet Composition Insights
-
The total of liabilities and shareholders’ investment rose steadily from about 40,619 million USD in May 2019, culminating near 58,000 million USD at its peak in late 2024, before reducing slightly to about 56,185 million USD by May 2025. This reflects overall growth in the company’s financing structure, both debt and equity.
The growth in liabilities, especially current liabilities and lease obligations, suggests increased operational financing or timing differences in payments over the periods. Meanwhile, shareholders’ equity growth indicates retained profits and possibly capital contributions supporting the balance sheet strength.
