Balance Sheet: Assets
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.
Assets are resources controlled by the company as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity.

Total assets have exhibited a volatile but overall upward trajectory, increasing from 340.6 billion USD in December 2019 to a peak of 383.3 billion USD by June 2026. This growth is characterized by a strategic shift in asset composition, where a decline in marketable securities has been offset by steady growth in fixed assets, receivables, and other non-current holdings.
- Liquidity and Cash Management
- Cash and cash equivalents have remained robust but fluctuate significantly, reaching a high of 45.6 billion USD in March 2026. A notable divergence is observed in marketable securities; current marketable securities declined from a 2019 high of 67.4 billion USD to 22.9 billion USD by June 2026. Non-current marketable securities peaked in March 2022 at 141.2 billion USD before trending downward to 84.1 billion USD by June 2026, indicating a reduction in the long-term investment portfolio.
- Fixed and Intangible Assets
- Property, plant, and equipment have demonstrated a consistent and linear growth pattern, rising from 37.0 billion USD in December 2019 to 51.4 billion USD in June 2026. A significant change in the balance sheet structure is evident in the first half of 2026, with the appearance of intangible assets, which were recorded at 20.3 billion USD by June 2026.
- Working Capital Dynamics
- Accounts receivable and vendor non-trade receivables exhibit strong seasonality and a general upward trend. Net accounts receivable grew from 21.0 billion USD in December 2019 to a peak of 39.9 billion USD in December 2025. Inventories remained relatively stable between 3.3 billion USD and 7.5 billion USD for the majority of the period, but a sharp increase to 11.1 billion USD occurred in June 2026, marking a significant departure from historical levels.
- Other Asset Trends
- Other non-current assets have shown a sustained increase, growing from 40.5 billion USD in December 2019 to 77.6 billion USD by June 2026. This steady climb suggests a gradual accumulation of long-term assets not categorized under equipment or securities.
