Over the five-year period Intel’s total assets grew steadily from $168.4B in 2021 to $211.4B in 2025 (a cumulative increase of ~25%), with smaller year-to-year gains in 2023–2024 (+2.6% in 2024) and a stronger increase in 2025 (+7.6%). This pattern is consistent with a capital‑intensive semiconductor business that is expanding capacity and investing in technology/assets; the sizeable asset base by 2025 reflects continued capital deployment and/or higher working capital requirements. Total liabilities rose from $73.0B to $97.1B, peaking in 2024 (49.5% of assets) before edging down slightly in 2025 (45.9% of assets). Stockholders’ equity moved from $95.4B to $114.3B overall, but with a dip in 2024 (to $99.3B) followed by a strong rebound in 2025. The 2024 liability spike and concurrent equity decline pushed leverage up that year (liabilities/assets peaked at 49.5%, equity/assets fell to 50.5%); by 2025 equity recovered (equity/assets ~54.1%) and leverage moderated. The 2024 movements could reflect temporary higher borrowings or timing of payables/capex funding, while the 2025 equity increase suggests stronger retained earnings, asset remeasurement, or capital transactions—each plausible in the cyclical, capex‑driven semiconductor industry.
