³ 2022 Calculation
Common equity (market value) = Share price × No. shares of common stock outstanding
= 272.79 × 117,197,977

Common equity (market value): The market value of common equity exhibited a notable upward trend from 2018 through 2022. Starting at approximately 9.76 billion USD in 2018, there was a slight decline in 2019 to about 9.10 billion USD. However, from 2019 onward, the value increased significantly, reaching around 18.21 billion USD in 2020, followed by continued growth to 22.45 billion USD in 2021 and further to approximately 31.97 billion USD in 2022. This represents a strong overall growth trajectory over the five-year period, with the market value more than tripling from its 2018 level by the end of 2022.
Total equity: Total equity mirrors the trend observed in common equity, beginning at roughly 9.93 billion USD in 2018 with a decrease to about 9.26 billion USD in 2019. From 2019, total equity rose substantially, reaching 18.41 billion USD in 2020, 22.63 billion USD in 2021, and 32.18 billion USD in 2022. The progression closely parallels the market value of common equity and indicates a strong improvement in the company's net assets over time.
Total equity and debt: The combined total of equity and debt shows a consistent upward movement throughout the observed period. Beginning at approximately 11.64 billion USD in 2018, it increased to 12.31 billion USD in 2019 and then surged to 21.99 billion USD in 2020. This upward momentum continued with 25.03 billion USD in 2021 and 35.40 billion USD recorded in 2022. This suggests that both the company’s equity base and its debt financing have expanded substantially, contributing to an increase in overall capitalization.
Enterprise value (EV): Enterprise value followed a growth pattern similar to total equity and debt. The EV started at about 11.08 billion USD in 2018, with a moderate increase to 11.70 billion USD in 2019, followed by a pronounced rise to 21.24 billion USD in 2020. The upward trend persisted with values of 24.59 billion USD in 2021 and 33.90 billion USD in 2022. This increase in enterprise value reflects heightened market expectations and potentially improved operational performance or growth prospects over the period.
