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:

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 April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026.
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 April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026, the balance of strategic investments was $39 million and $33 million, respectively.
