(1) Fair value adjustments on publicly-held equity securities are recorded in net income. Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, publicly-held equity securities from investments in non-affiliated entities included in other assets (long term) were classified in marketable securities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Net unrealized gains on investments in publicly-held equity securities held at period end were $163 million for fiscal year 2025. Net unrealized gains on investments in publicly-held equity securities held at period end were not significant for fiscal years 2024 and 2023. Net realized gains on investments in publicly-held equity securities sold were $88 million for fiscal year 2025, reflecting the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the equity securities at the beginning of the period or the purchase date, if later. Realized gains and losses on investments in publicly-held equity securities sold during fiscal years 2024 and 2023 were not significant. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jan 28, 2024 | | Amortized Cost | | Unrealized Gain | | Unrealized Loss | | Estimated Fair Value | | Reported as | | | | | | | Cash Equivalents | | Marketable Securities | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (In millions) | | Corporate debt securities | $ | 10,126 | | | $ | 31 | | | $ | (5) | | | $ | 10,152 | | | $ | 2,231 | | | $ | 7,921 | | | Debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury | 9,517 | | | 17 | | | (10) | | | 9,524 | | | 1,315 | | | 8,209 | | | Money market funds | 3,031 | | | — | | | — | | | 3,031 | | | 3,031 | | | — | | | Debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies | 2,326 | | | 8 | | | (1) | | | 2,333 | | | 89 | | | 2,244 | | | Certificates of deposit | 510 | | | — | | | — | | | 510 | | | 294 | | | 216 | | | Foreign government bonds | 174 | | | — | | | — | | | 174 | | | 60 | | | 114 | | | Total debt securities with fair value changes recorded in other comprehensive income | $ | 25,684 | | | $ | 56 | | | $ | (16) | | | $ | 25,724 | | | $ | 7,020 | | | $ | 18,704 | |
