Total assets
Everything the company owns at the balance sheet date, as one figure.
Total assets is the sum of the left-hand side of the balance sheet: current assets (cash, receivables, inventory) and fixed assets (equipment, buildings, intangibles, long-term investments).
This figure always equals equity plus liabilities — that is what makes a balance sheet balance. The two sides answer the same question from opposite ends: what the company has, and whose money paid for it.
Asset size depends heavily on the line of work. A manufacturer has buildings and machinery; a service company has little but cash and receivables. Comparing assets across industries says less than it appears to.
