Total assets run around $37–40B, with current assets generally near $8.4–11.6B and current liabilities around $7.0–10.7B, giving a current ratio near 1.1–1.25 across periods. Liabilities total roughly $23–26B and equity about $14–15B, indicating a moderateleverage posture. The balance sheet shows reasonable liquidity and substantial noncurrent liabilities (~$15–16B), but cash-flow concentration and periodic earnings volatility warrant cautious leverage management.
