Where the cash came from and where it went
FY2025, from the cash flow statement in the 10-K, added up.
Came from
| Operating cash flow | $15.0B |
| Cash on hand used | $1.5B |
| Other, net investments bought and sold, other financing and investing lines, and exchange rates |
$7.5B |
Went to
| Capital spending | $594.0M |
| Acquisitions | $9.3B |
| Buybacks | $12.6B |

Each number is a line of the cash flow statement as the company tagged it. "Other, net" is what those lines do not cover (investments bought and sold, other financing and investing lines, and exchange rates); Tickdelta does not estimate it.
