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.

Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity exhibited a consistent upward trend over the observed period, increasing from $52.972 billion in March 2021 to $137.806 billion in December 2025. This growth was driven by increases in both total liabilities and total equity.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities demonstrated a general increasing trend, rising from $14.877 billion in March 2021 to $26.640 billion in September 2023, before peaking at $29.453 billion in March 2024 and decreasing to $28.821 billion in December 2024. A slight increase to $31.714 billion was observed in December 2025. Fluctuations within this category were primarily influenced by changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
- Accounts Payable
- Accounts payable increased from $6.648 billion in March 2021 to $15.255 billion in December 2021, then fluctuated between approximately $13.937 billion and $15.904 billion through December 2023. A decline to $12.474 billion was noted in December 2024, followed by a slight increase to $13.371 billion in December 2025. This suggests a dynamic relationship with operational purchasing and payment cycles.
- Accrued Liabilities and Other
- Accrued liabilities and other consistently increased throughout the period, starting at $4.073 billion in March 2021 and reaching $13.279 billion in December 2025. This steady growth indicates a potential increase in operational expenses or a change in liability recognition practices.
- Debt and Finance Leases
- Total debt and finance leases initially decreased from $16.924 billion in March 2021 to $10.843 billion in December 2021. However, it then experienced a period of growth, reaching $19.569 billion in December 2024, before decreasing slightly to $18.565 billion in December 2025. The net of current portion showed a similar pattern, though less pronounced.
- Long-Term Liabilities
- Long-term liabilities generally decreased from $13.630 billion in March 2021 to $10.843 billion in December 2021, then increased significantly to $23.227 billion by December 2025. This increase was largely driven by growth in other long-term liabilities.
- Other Long-Term Liabilities
- Other long-term liabilities exhibited a consistent upward trend, increasing from $3.283 billion in March 2021 to $12.860 billion in December 2025. This substantial growth suggests a significant increase in long-term obligations not categorized as debt or deferred revenue.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Stockholders’ equity demonstrated a consistent upward trend, increasing from $23.864 billion in March 2021 to $82.807 billion in December 2025. This growth was primarily attributable to increases in retained earnings and additional paid-in capital.
- Retained Earnings
- Retained earnings experienced a dramatic shift from a deficit of $4.750 billion in March 2021 to a positive balance of $39.003 billion in December 2025. This indicates a substantial improvement in profitability and earnings retention.
- Additional Paid-in Capital
- Additional paid-in capital also increased steadily, rising from $27.623 billion in March 2021 to $42.770 billion in December 2025. This suggests ongoing equity financing activities.
Overall, the balance sheet reflects a company experiencing significant growth in both its liabilities and equity base. The substantial increase in retained earnings is a particularly noteworthy development, indicating improved profitability. The increasing trend in long-term liabilities warrants continued monitoring to assess potential financial risks.
