Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments

In estimating fair value, the Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy as follows:

•Level 1 — Valuations based on observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

•Level 2 — Valuations based on other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

•Level 3 — Valuations based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.

The following tables present the estimated fair value of cash equivalents and short-term investments:


	As of July 31, 2025		As of January 31, 2025
	(dollars in millions)

Cash equivalents:
Money market funds (Level 1)	$	654	$	225
Certificates of deposit (Level 2)	34		23

Interest receivable of $24 million is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025.

There were no material differences between the estimated fair value and amortized cost of our cash equivalents and short-term investments as of July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025.

For available-for-sale debt securities that have unrealized losses, there were no material credit or non-credit related impairments for short-term investments as of July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025.

Strategic Investments

Strategic investments primarily include equity investments in privately-held companies, which do not have a readily determinable fair value. Strategic investments are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as nonrecurring fair value measurements may include observable and unobservable inputs. As of July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, the balance of strategic investments was $33 million and $30 million, respectively.
