We review the individual securities that have unrealized losses in our short-term investment portfolio on a regular basis. We evaluate, among other criteria, whether we have the intention to sell any of these investments and whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell any of them before recovery of the amortized cost basis. Neither of these criteria were met in any period presented. We additionally evaluate whether the decline in fair value of the corporate debt securities below their amortized cost basis is related to credit losses or other factors. Based on this evaluation, we determined that unrealized losses of the above securities were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and non-credit related factors. Accordingly, we determined that an allowance for credit losses was unnecessary for our short-term investments as of April 30, 2026 and July 31, 2025.
As of April 30, 2026 and July 31, 2025, we recorded $26.6 million and $17.9 million, respectively, of accrued interest receivable within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Strategic Investments
Our strategic investments consist primarily of non-marketable equity securities of privately held companies, which do not have a readily determinable fair value. As of April 30, 2026 and July 31, 2025, the carrying amount of our strategic investments was $14.2 million and $10.6 million, respectively, and is included within other noncurrent assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There were no material events or circumstances impacting their carrying amounts during the periods presented.
