Cash provided by operating activities increased $13,116 million, or 66%, to $32,950 million for the first three fiscal quarters of fiscal 2026 from $19,834 million.

Cash used in investing activities increased $1,223 million to $1,436 million, driven by higher capital expenditures and increased purchases of short-term investments. Cash used in financing activities increased $5,466 million to $23,717 million, mainly because stock repurchases rose $6,000 million and net debt payments increased $2,397 million.
