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 exhibit a sustained upward trajectory over the analyzed period, increasing from 89,993 million USD in April 2021 to 107,922 million USD by July 2026. This growth is characterized by a steady expansion in current assets and a significant shift in the composition of noncurrent assets toward the end of the period.
- Liquidity and Current Asset Trends
- Current assets grew from 21,932 million USD to 32,876 million USD. This increase was primarily driven by fluctuations in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, which peaked at 17,399 million USD in June 2024 before stabilizing. Inventories showed a consistent long-term increase, rising from 3,356 million USD in early 2021 to 4,647 million USD by July 2026, suggesting an expansion in operational scale or strategic stockpiling.
- Strategic Asset Reclassification
- A significant structural change occurred in the fourth quarter of 2025 with the introduction of assets held for sale, valued at approximately 5,342 million USD. This appearance coincides with a notable decrease in goodwill, which dropped from approximately 18,662 million USD in September 2025 to 15,491 million USD in December 2025. This pattern indicates a strategic divestiture or a planned sale of a business segment.
- Noncurrent Asset Analysis
- Equity method investments maintained a gradual growth trend, rising from 18,966 million USD to 20,782 million USD. Meanwhile, other noncurrent assets experienced a sharp increase starting in September 2024, jumping from 7,912 million USD to 13,409 million USD and continuing to climb to 15,582 million USD by July 2026. Property, plant, and equipment remained relatively stable, fluctuating within a narrow band between 9,200 million USD and 10,900 million USD.
- Intangible Assets and Tax Position
- Trademarks with indefinite lives remained stable for several years around 14,000 million USD before declining to 12,500 million USD by 2026. Simultaneously, deferred income tax assets exhibited a consistent and linear decline, falling from 2,332 million USD in April 2021 to 1,090 million USD by July 2026, reflecting a steady reduction in future tax benefit expectations.
The overall asset profile indicates a transition toward higher liquidity and a strategic realignment of the portfolio, evidenced by the increase in other noncurrent assets and the emergence of assets held for sale, balanced against a reduction in goodwill and deferred tax assets.
