Cash Flow Statement
Quarterly Data
The cash flow statement provides information about a company cash receipts and cash payments during an accounting period, showing how these cash flows link the ending cash balance to the beginning balance shown on the company balance sheet.
The cash flow statement consists of three parts: cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities, and cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities.

The financial trajectory reflects a significant transition from operational volatility and net losses toward consistent profitability and robust cash generation. A clear pivot is observable starting in 2023, where net income and net cash provided by operating activities began a sustained upward trend, indicating an improvement in the fundamental scalability and efficiency of the business model.
- Operating Cash Flow Trends
- Net cash provided by operating activities evolved from negative territories in early 2021 to a consistently positive and growing stream, reaching 2.86 billion US$ by June 30, 2026. This growth is supported by a shift in net income, which transitioned from frequent quarterly losses to substantial gains, most notably peaking at 6.9 billion US$ in December 2024. The correlation between increasing net income and operating cash flow suggests that earnings are being converted into cash effectively.
- Investing Activities and Liquidity Management
- Investing activities are dominated by the active management of marketable securities. There is a pronounced pattern of large-scale purchases of marketable securities, which accelerated significantly toward 2025 and 2026, with a peak outflow of 10.88 billion US$ in June 2026. These outflows are partially offset by substantial proceeds from maturities and sales of these securities. Capital expenditures for property and equipment have remained relatively stable and modest, typically ranging between 40 million US$ and 100 million US$ per quarter, indicating a light-asset operational strategy.
- Financing and Capital Allocation Shift
- A strategic shift in capital allocation is evident beginning in 2024. While earlier periods focused on debt issuance and maintaining liquidity, the latter period shows an aggressive move toward shareholder returns. Repurchases of common stock increased dramatically, rising from 325 million US$ in June 2024 to a peak of 3.01 billion US$ by March 2026. This trend coincides with the increase in operating cash flow, suggesting that excess liquidity is being redirected from treasury investments toward equity reduction.
- Non-Cash Adjustments and Tax Impacts
- Stock-based compensation represents a consistent and growing non-cash add-back, increasing from approximately 280 million US$ in early 2021 to 550 million US$ by June 2026. Deferred income taxes have introduced significant volatility into the net income figures, most notably a 6.12 billion US$ negative adjustment in December 2024, which served as a major offset to the record net income reported in that same period.
