They have 5.5 Billion Cash + 4.5 Billion in Short Term Securities = 10 B$

What's short term securities?

Most companies in a strong cash position have a short-term investments account on the balance sheet. This means that a company can afford to invest excess cash in stocks and bonds to earn higher interest than what would be earned from a normal savings account.

But wouldn't that money still be considered tied up and not cash on hands?
