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.

- Short-term borrowings
- Short-term borrowings exhibit significant volatility across the periods, ranging from lows near 224 million to peaks exceeding 11 billion US dollars. Notably, there are sharp spikes around early 2022, followed by rapid decreases, indicating fluctuating short-term financing activity or liquidity needs.
- Accounts payable
- Accounts payable display an upward trend overall, with figures generally increasing from approximately 45 billion to over 60 billion US dollars. This suggests increasing obligations to suppliers and creditors over time, consistent with growth in operations or procurement.
- Dividends payable
- Dividends payable show consistent cyclic patterns with periodic missing values, remaining mostly stable around 1500 to 5700 million US dollars. The amounts tend to increase gradually over time, reflecting possible incremental dividend policies or payout adjustments.
- Accrued liabilities
- Accrued liabilities fluctuate noticeably, with periods of sharp increases such as in early 2020 and again in the last few quarters. The trend indicates growing accrued expenses, which may correlate with increased operating activities or accrued costs rising.
- Accrued income taxes
- Accrued income taxes show irregular fluctuations without a clear long-term trend, with values oscillating between approximately 280 million and 1.4 billion US dollars. This irregularity may reflect changing tax obligations influenced by business performance or tax regulations.
- Long-term debt due within one year
- This category reveals considerable variability, often spiking above 5 billion US dollars and dropping to under 2 billion. The fluctuations may indicate refinancing activity or maturing debt obligations being managed dynamically.
- Operating lease obligations due within one year
- Operating lease obligations due within one year remain relatively stable, fluctuating narrowly around the range of 1.4 to 1.7 billion US dollars, suggesting consistent short-term lease commitments across the periods.
- Finance lease obligations due within one year
- Finance lease obligations show a steady upward trend, increasing gradually from about 435 million to over 800 million US dollars. This suggests a growing use of finance leases to fund assets or operations with short-term obligations.
- Current liabilities
- Current liabilities fluctuate but show an overall increase from approximately 80 billion to over 103 billion US dollars in the later periods, indicating expanding short-term obligations and possibly higher operational scale.
- Long-term debt, excluding amount due within one year
- Long-term debt trends downward from around 47 billion to roughly 33 billion US dollars, showing a reduction in long-term borrowings over time, potentially reflecting debt repayments or refinancings for shorter maturities.
- Long-term operating lease obligations, excluding due within one year
- Long-term operating lease obligations remain fairly stable around 12.8 to 16 billion US dollars, with minor fluctuations and no clear upward or downward trend, indicating stable long-term lease commitments.
- Long-term finance lease obligations, excluding due within one year
- Long-term finance lease obligations show a moderate upward trend from approximately 3.8 billion to nearly 6 billion US dollars, demonstrating increased reliance on finance leases for long-term assets.
- Deferred income taxes and other
- Deferred income taxes and related items fluctuate moderately between approximately 12.7 billion and 15.6 billion US dollars, with no clear directional trend, reflecting varying timing differences in tax recognition.
- Long-term liabilities
- Long-term liabilities decrease from about 80 billion to near 66 billion US dollars with some recovery towards the end, indicating debt reduction or adjustments in long-term provisions with some renewed borrowing or liability additions later on.
- Total liabilities
- Total liabilities exhibit volatility but a broadly upward trajectory from about 159 billion to nearly 174 billion US dollars. This reflects increasing overall obligations despite some reduction in long-term debt, compensated by rising current and other liabilities.
- Redeemable noncontrolling interest
- Redeemable noncontrolling interest appears only in later periods with stable values around 200-300 million US dollars, indicating a minor but steady external ownership component present in the capital structure.
- Common stock
- Common stock remains nearly constant, hovering around 270 to 805 million US dollars, suggesting no significant issuances or repurchases of common shares other than a discrete jump possibly due to reclassification or accounting changes.
- Capital in excess of par value
- Capital in excess of par value generally increases over time, except for some temporary decreases, moving from about 2.7 billion to over 5.7 billion US dollars. This growth indicates additional paid-in capital accumulation from equity transactions or retained earnings adjustments.
- Retained earnings
- Retained earnings show steady growth with minor oscillations, increasing from approximately 76 billion to near 98 billion US dollars over the timeframe, reflecting ongoing profitability retention and reinvestment.
- Accumulated other comprehensive loss
- Accumulated other comprehensive loss varies substantially, with losses ranging from -11 billion to nearly -13.6 billion US dollars. The persistent negative balance suggests ongoing unrealized losses from items such as pension plans, currency translation, or other comprehensive income components.
- Total Walmart shareholders’ equity
- Shareholders’ equity trends upward overall from around 68 billion to over 91 billion US dollars, with some periods of decline. The net increase implies growth in net assets attributable to common shareholders, supported by retained earnings and capital increases.
- Nonredeemable noncontrolling interest
- Nonredeemable noncontrolling interest fluctuates moderately between approximately 5.7 billion and 8.4 billion US dollars without clear directional movement, representing consistent minority ownership stakes.
- Total shareholders’ equity
- Total shareholders’ equity climbs steadily from approximately 75 billion to nearly 97 billion US dollars. The upward trend indicates an overall strengthening of the company's equity base, reflecting retained earnings growth, capital contributions, and possibly favorable asset revaluations.
- Total liabilities, redeemable noncontrolling interest, and shareholders’ equity
- This aggregate measure fluctuates between approximately 234 billion and 271 billion US dollars, showing general growth consistent with expanding liabilities and equity positions, signaling business growth and extended balance sheet scale over time.
