Total assets demonstrate a general upward trajectory over the analyzed period, increasing from 51.1 billion USD in March 2021 to 59.9 billion USD by June 2026. This growth is characterized by a transition from liquidity-heavy current assets toward a larger concentration of long-term capital investments and strategic holdings.

Liquidity and Current Asset Trends
Current assets exhibit significant volatility, peaking at 7.9 billion USD in December 2023 before declining to 4.3 billion USD by June 2026. This fluctuation is primarily driven by cash and equivalents, which reached a high of 4.7 billion USD in December 2021 but experienced a sharp contraction starting in early 2024, falling to levels below 1 billion USD in several quarters. Conversely, accounts and notes receivable have shown a consistent long-term increase, growing from 1.7 billion USD in March 2021 to 2.4 billion USD by June 2026, suggesting a shift in the composition of short-term assets.
Fixed Asset Expansion and Depreciation
Net property and equipment have grown steadily from 24.5 billion USD in March 2021 to 28.4 billion USD in June 2026. This was achieved through a substantial increase in gross property and equipment, which rose from 41.0 billion USD to 49.9 billion USD. This expansion is offset by a corresponding rise in accumulated depreciation and amortization, which moved from negative 16.5 billion USD to negative 21.4 billion USD over the same period, reflecting the aging of the asset base alongside new acquisitions.
Strategic and Intangible Assets
A notable shift occurred in investments in affiliates, which remained relatively stable around 1 billion USD until March 2024, at which point they surged to 2.8 billion USD and remained at that elevated level through June 2026. Goodwill has also trended upward, increasing from 2.7 billion USD to 3.3 billion USD. Miscellaneous assets showed a similar positive correlation, growing from 3.4 billion USD to 6.3 billion USD, contributing significantly to the overall growth of other assets.
Leasehold and Operational Assets
Lease right-of-use assets have remained relatively stable with a slight overall increase, moving from 13.6 billion USD in March 2021 to 14.4 billion USD in June 2026. Inventories have remained remarkably consistent throughout the entire period, fluctuating within a narrow range between 43 million USD and 61 million USD, indicating a highly efficient or standardized inventory management system.
