Where the cash came from and where it went
FY2023 to FY2025, from the cash flow statements in the 10-Ks, added up.
Came from

Went to
| Acquisitions | $2.2B |

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.
