Balance Sheet Growth
Retrieve and analyze year-over-year growth in key balance sheet items for public companies using Octagon MCP.
Prerequisites
Ensure Octagon MCP is configured in your AI agent (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, etc.). See references/mcp-setup.md for installation instructions.
Query Format
Retrieve year-over-year growth in key balance-sheet items for <TICKER>, limited to <N> records and filtered by period <FY|Q>.
MCP Call:
{
"server": "octagon-mcp",
"toolName": "octagon-agent",
"arguments": {
"prompt": "Retrieve year-over-year growth in key balance-sheet items for AAPL, limited to 5 records and filtered by period FY"
}
}
Output Format
The agent returns a table with YoY growth percentages:
| Fiscal Year | Total Assets Growth (%) | Total Liabilities Growth (%) | Shareholders' Equity Growth (%) | Cash & Cash Equivalents Growth (%) | Inventories Growth (%) | |-------------|------------------------|-----------------------------|---------------------------------|-----------------------------------|------------------------| | 2025 | -1.57 | -7.31 | 29.47 | 12.01 | -21.52 | | 2024 | 3.51 | 6.05 | -8.36 | -0.07 | 15.08 | | 2023 | -0.00 | -3.85 | 22.64 | 26.72 | 28.00 | | 2022 | 0.49 | 4.92 | -19.68 | -32.32 | -24.83 |
Data Sources: octagon-companies-agent, octagon-financials-agent
Key Observations Pattern
After receiving data, generate observations:
- Asset base changes: Track total assets growth/decline and drivers
- Leverage trends: Compare liabilities growth to equity growth
- Liquidity position: Monitor cash and cash equivalents trajectory
- Working capital: Assess inventory management efficiency
- Capital structure shifts: Note significant equity vs liability changes
Metrics Reference
| Metric | Definition | |--------|------------| | Total Assets Growth | YoY change in all company assets | | Total Liabilities Growth | YoY change in all obligations and debts | | Shareholders' Equity Growth | YoY change in net worth (Assets - Liabilities) | | Cash & Cash Equivalents Growth | YoY change in liquid assets | | Inventories Growth | YoY change in unsold goods and materials |
Analysis Tips
Deleveraging Signal
When Liabilities decline while Equity grows:
- Company paying down debt
- Strengthening balance sheet
- Example: Liabilities -7.31%, Equity +29.47%
Asset-Light Trend
When Assets decline but Equity grows:
- Efficient capital deployment
- Possible divestitures or write-offs
- Focus on return on assets
Cash Accumulation
When Cash grows faster than Assets:
- Building war chest for M&A or buybacks
- Conservative financial positioning
- May signal limited reinvestment opportunities
Inventory Management
When Inventories decline while Revenue grows:
- Improved supply chain efficiency
- Just-in-time inventory practices
- Better demand forecasting
Capital Structure Warning
When Liabilities grow faster than Assets:
- Increasing leverage
- Potential solvency concerns if sustained
- Review debt covenants and maturities
Follow-up Queries
Based on results, suggest deeper analysis:
- "What drove the significant shareholders' equity growth in [YEAR]?"
- "Analyze [COMPANY]'s debt maturity schedule and refinancing risk"
- "Compare [COMPANY]'s leverage ratios to industry peers"
- "Extract cash flow statement data for [TICKER] to understand cash sources"
