The data provided reflects the value of wireless and wireline equipment held for sale by the company over a five-year period from 2020 to 2024. The figures are expressed in millions of US dollars.

Trend Analysis
The value of equipment held for sale started at $1,796 million at the end of 2020. This value increased significantly to $3,055 million by the end of 2021, representing a substantial rise.
In 2022, the value decreased to $2,388 million, indicating a reduction following the previous increase.
Further decline is observed in 2023, with the value dropping to $2,057 million.
However, in 2024, the value experienced a slight recovery, increasing to $2,247 million.
Insights
The sharp rise in equipment held for sale between 2020 and 2021 may suggest either an accumulation of assets intended for sale or a strategic stockpiling in anticipation of future sales opportunities.
The subsequent downward trend over the next two years likely reflects the disposal or sale of held equipment, decreasing inventory levels.
The modest increase in the last observed year could indicate a renewed acquisition or buildup of equipment, possibly in response to market conditions or operational demands.
Overall, the fluctuations point to active management of equipment assets, with notable increases and decreases that could correlate with broader business strategies or market dynamics.
