Total assets exhibit a consistent long-term growth trajectory, increasing from 21,214 million USD in February 2020 to 29,981 million USD by August 2026. This expansion is characterized by steady growth in both current and long-term asset categories, although the rate of increase has moderated in the most recent quarters of the analyzed period.

Current Asset Liquidity and Composition
Current assets grew from 6,455 million USD in February 2020 to a peak of 11,232 million USD in November 2024, before declining to 9,158 million USD by August 2026. A significant shift in liquidity management is observable; cash and cash equivalents reached a high of 7,660 million USD in May 2024 but experienced a subsequent decline to 4,359 million USD by August 2026. Concurrently, short-term investments showed a marked downward trend from 1,483 million USD in early 2020 to a low of 273 million USD in November 2024, followed by a recovery to 1,280 million USD by the end of the period. Trade receivables remained relatively stable with a general upward bias, ending at 2,081 million USD, while prepaid expenses and other current assets climbed steadily from 895 million USD to 1,438 million USD.
Long-term Asset Trends
Long-term assets increased from 14,759 million USD in February 2020 to 20,823 million USD in August 2026. Goodwill represents the largest component of this segment, remaining stable around 12,800 million USD for several years before increasing to approximately 14,037 million USD in May 2026. Other intangible assets exhibited a prolonged decline from 1,626 million USD in February 2020 to a low of 454 million USD in February 2026, followed by a sharp spike to 1,012 million USD in May 2026, suggesting a significant acquisition or asset revaluation event during that quarter. Property and equipment, net, showed modest growth from 1,340 million USD to 1,870 million USD over the timeframe.
Other Asset Observations
Deferred income taxes showed a consistent upward trend, rising from 231 million USD in May 2020 to 1,928 million USD by August 2026, indicating an increasing accumulation of temporary differences between accounting and tax treatments. Operating lease right-of-use assets declined steadily from 504 million USD to 286 million USD, reflecting the natural amortization of lease contracts. Other assets grew from 598 million USD to 1,746 million USD, contributing to the overall expansion of the balance sheet.

The overall asset structure indicates a strategic shift toward higher cash holdings in the mid-term, followed by a reduction in liquid assets in the most recent quarters. The significant adjustment in goodwill and intangible assets in mid-2026 points to a pivotal change in the company's asset base, likely tied to corporate development activities.
