The financial position exhibits a massive expansion of the total balance sheet, growing from 23.25 billion USD in April 2020 to 259.47 billion USD by April 2026. This growth is primarily driven by an extraordinary increase in shareholders' equity and a scaling of current liabilities to support expanded operations.

Liability Structure and Trends
Total liabilities rose from 10.16 billion USD to 64.00 billion USD over the analyzed period. The primary driver of this increase was the growth in current liabilities, which expanded from 1.90 billion USD to 43.88 billion USD. Within this category, accounts payable and accrued and other current liabilities showed the most significant acceleration, particularly after 2023, reflecting a substantial increase in operational scale and short-term obligations.
Long-term debt remained relatively stable in comparison to current liabilities. After an increase to approximately 10.94 billion USD in August 2021, long-term debt gradually declined to 7.47 billion USD by April 2026, indicating a strategic shift away from long-term borrowing to fund growth.
Equity Growth and Retained Earnings
Shareholders' equity experienced exponential growth, increasing from 13.10 billion USD in April 2020 to 195.47 billion USD in April 2026. This expansion is almost entirely attributable to retained earnings, which surged from 15.79 billion USD to 185.04 billion USD. Such a trajectory indicates high profitability and a consistent policy of reinvesting earnings back into the company rather than distributing them entirely as dividends.
Additional paid-in capital remained relatively stable, peaking around 13.13 billion USD in January 2024 before settling at 10.28 billion USD by April 2026, suggesting that recent growth was internally funded rather than driven by new equity issuance.
Solvency and Leverage Analysis
A significant improvement in the company's solvency profile is observed. In April 2020, total liabilities represented approximately 77% of shareholders' equity. By April 2026, total liabilities fell to approximately 33% of shareholders' equity. This downward trend in the debt-to-equity ratio indicates a substantial reduction in financial leverage and a stronger, equity-funded capital structure.
The reliance on short-term debt remained minimal and intermittent, with balances either absent or capped around 1.25 billion USD, further emphasizing a low-risk approach to debt financing.
