Stock of goods, often referred to as inventory, is considered an asset on a company's balance sheet. It represents the value of products that a business holds for sale in its normal operations. As an asset, it is expected to generate future economic benefits when sold. Therefore, it is not classified as a liability, which represents obligations or debts owed to others.
