EQUITY SECURITIES. Equity securities are included within “Other assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The summary of our investments in equity securities at May 31, 2026 and 2025 is as follows (in millions):

Equity securities with readily determinable fair values$102 $91 
Equity securities without readily determinable fair values - NAV practical expedient60 51

Total equity securities$564 $506 
Equity securities with a readily determinable fair value are Level 1 investments that are valued at the closing price or last trade reported on the major market on which the individual securities are traded. For equity securities without readily determinable fair values that qualify for the NAV practical expedient, we have elected to apply the NAV practical expedient to estimate fair value. We apply the measurement alternative for all other equity securities without readily determinable fair values, where adjustments to cost
are made for observable price changes and any impairments. For equity securities where the measurement alternative is applied, annual and cumulative amounts of impairments, downward adjustments, and upward adjustments were immaterial for 2026 and 2025.
Unrealized gains and (losses) recognized during the reporting period on all equity securities held at May 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024 were $35 million, ($6) million, and $14 million, respectively.
DEBT SECURITIES. The carrying values of our investments in debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and reported at their estimated fair values within “Prepaid expenses and other” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The summary of our investments in debt securities at May 31, 2026 and 2025 is as follows (in millions):
