- Debt to Equity Ratio
- The debt to equity ratio exhibited fluctuation over the periods observed. Initially, it increased from 1.69 to a peak of 2.37 before declining to around 1.34 by the last quarter. This indicates a period of rising reliance on debt relative to equity, followed by a reduction in financial leverage as the company appears to deleverage or increase equity financing toward the end.
- Debt to Capital Ratio
- The debt to capital ratio remained relatively stable throughout the periods, fluctuating within a narrow band from 0.57 to 0.70. Although there was a slight upward trend in the middle periods, it generally indicates a consistent proportion of debt in the company's overall capital structure without significant shifts.
- Debt to Assets Ratio
- The debt to assets ratio showed mild variation, ranging from a low of 0.27 to a high of 0.37. The ratio generally declined towards the latter periods, suggesting a modest reduction in the proportion of assets financed through debt on a long-term basis. This trend aligns with the decreased debt to equity ratio observed later.
- Financial Leverage Ratio
- Financial leverage followed a pattern similar to the debt to equity ratio, with values initially increasing to a high near 6.96 and then declining to approximately 4.87 by the end. This indicates that the company's use of debt financing relative to equity and equity-like components in asset funding was elevated at certain points but was subsequently tempered by a reduction in leverage or growth in equity components.
- Overall Observations
- Collectively, the financial leverage and debt-related ratios suggest periods of increased borrowing and leverage followed by efforts to reduce financial risk or rebalance the capital structure. The stability in debt to capital ratio combined with reductions in debt to assets and debt to equity ratios in later periods may reflect a strategic shift toward lower leverage or stronger equity backing. This could enhance the company's financial flexibility and creditworthiness over time.

The analysis of the financial trends indicates notable fluctuations in the key balance sheet components over the observed periods.
- Total Debt
- The total debt experienced a gradual increase from December 2020, peaking around September 2021. Following this, a general downward trend is observable, with total debt decreasing noticeably towards the end of 2024 and into 2025. Despite some fluctuations, the overall pattern suggests effective debt management aimed at reduction or stabilization after a period of higher leverage.
- Shareholders’ Equity
- Shareholders' equity showed variability, initially declining from the end of 2020 to late 2022. Starting in the early quarters of 2023, there is a recovery trend, with equity increasing significantly towards the end of 2023 and early 2024. However, some subsequent decreases and increases occur, indicating oscillations possibly linked to retained earnings, stock buybacks, or other equity movements. In the latest periods, equity levels stabilize at a relatively high point compared to earlier data.
- Debt to Equity Ratio
- The debt to equity ratio followed a pattern consistent with the movements in total debt and equity. It increased steadily from 2020 into the end of 2022, reaching its peak ratio in the latter part of 2022, reflecting higher leverage and reduced equity values during that time. After this peak, the ratio declines significantly through 2023 and 2024, indicating improved financial leverage and stronger equity relative to debt. By the end of the observation period, the ratio reaches its lowest level, suggesting a more conservative capital structure.
Overall, the data depict a cycle of increasing leverage through 2021 and 2022, followed by a strategic shift toward debt reduction and equity strengthening in 2023 and beyond. This shift results in lower leverage ratios and a more balanced capital structure as the company moves into mid-2025.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several noteworthy trends in the company's leverage and capital structure over multiple periods.
- Total debt
- The total debt exhibited a fluctuating but generally declining trend over the observed periods. Initially, debt increased from 112,043 million USD to a peak near 124,719 million USD. Following this peak, a gradual reduction was evident, with debt levels decreasing more significantly in the later periods, reaching approximately 98,657 million USD by the last reported quarter. This indicates a deliberate effort to reduce overall debt obligations after a period of accumulation.
- Total capital
- Total capital demonstrated variability with periods of increase and decrease. Starting near 178,267 million USD, it grew to nearly 194,730 million USD before experiencing declines in the middle periods. Despite fluctuations, total capital maintained a range mostly between 160,000 and 180,000 million USD in the later quarters. The capital base appears relatively stable with mild volatility reflecting adjustments in equity or debt financing components.
- Debt to capital ratio
- The debt to capital ratio followed a pattern of initial increase, rising from 0.63 to a peak of 0.70, indicative of increasing leverage during that time. Subsequently, the ratio steadily declined to a low near 0.57 in the final periods, reflecting improved capital structure and reduced reliance on debt. Temporary upticks in later quarters suggest short-term borrowing fluctuations but overall a clear trend toward deleveraging.
In summary, the company showed a strategy of initially increasing debt and leverage followed by systematic debt reduction and capitalization stabilization. The decreasing debt to capital ratio in recent periods signals enhanced financial stability and potentially lower financial risk. The total capital base remained moderately consistent, supporting operational and growth needs while improving leverage metrics over time.

The financial data reveals notable trends in the company's debt, assets, and leverage ratios over the examined periods.
- Total Debt
- Total debt exhibited fluctuations throughout the periods. It increased from approximately 112 billion US dollars at the end of 2020 to a peak nearing 125 billion US dollars in late Q3 2021, indicating a rise in borrowing or other debt instruments. After this peak, total debt gradually declined, reaching a low of around 97 billion US dollars by the end of Q4 2024, before experiencing minor increases in subsequent quarters, ending near 99 billion US dollars by Q3 2025. This overall pattern suggests an initial increase in leveraging followed by a consistent effort to reduce the company’s debt load over the later periods.
- Total Assets
- Total assets displayed a volatile yet generally stable trend. Beginning at around 354 billion US dollars in late 2020, assets decreased in early 2021, hitting a low of roughly 330 billion US dollars halfway through 2021. Assets then rose sharply to a peak of around 381 billion US dollars in late 2021 before experiencing another decline through mid-2023. From late 2023 onward, asset totals fluctuated but generally maintained levels between 330 and 365 billion US dollars. This pattern indicates periods of growth and contraction in asset holdings, possibly reflecting operational changes or investments and disposals.
- Debt to Assets Ratio
- The debt to assets ratio moved within a moderate range between 0.27 and 0.37 across the timeline. Initially, the ratio increased from 0.32 at the end of 2020 up to a peak near 0.37 in mid-2021, mirroring the rise in total debt relative to assets. Post-peak, the leverage ratio steadily declined to about 0.27 by Q3 2025. This downward trend reflects an improving balance sheet with either decreasing liabilities, increasing assets, or both, indicating enhanced financial stability and reduced leverage risk.
Overall, the data reflects a period of increased leverage in early phases, followed by a strategic reduction in debt relative to assets. Asset totals showed cyclical variation but no dramatic long-term growth or contraction, suggesting stable asset management. The decreasing debt to assets ratio in more recent periods signals a focus on strengthening the company's financial position.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several observable trends in the company's asset base, shareholders' equity, and financial leverage over the reported periods.
- Total Assets
- Total assets exhibit fluctuations throughout the periods, starting at a high point near 354 billion US dollars and experiencing declines and rises intermittently. There is a notable drop after the December 2021 peak, followed by recovery phases reaching upwards of approximately 364 billion by September 2024. Such variability indicates dynamic asset management, potentially reflecting changes in investments, acquisitions, or asset revaluations.
- Shareholders’ Equity
- Shareholders’ equity shows a less consistent pattern with periods of increase and decline. Beginning at around 66 billion US dollars, equity peaks near 74 billion in December 2023 and again in early 2024, before undergoing decreases that bring it back to the high 50 to mid-60 billion range intermittently. The equity trend indicates variability possibly related to retained earnings, share repurchases, dividends, or adjustments to equity components.
- Financial Leverage
- Financial leverage ratios largely move inversely to shareholders’ equity, ranging from a low near 4.55 to highs approaching almost 7. Noteworthy is the peak leverage around September 2022, implying increased debt relative to equity, which then diminishes moving forward. Lower leverage values towards the end of the timeline suggest a reduction in reliance on debt financing or an improvement in equity levels.
Overall, the company's financial position reveals active balance sheet management with asset values and equity fluctuating, impacting the leverage ratio. The leverage trend, in particular, suggests varying capital structure strategies, potentially responding to market conditions or strategic financing decisions. The moderation of leverage in the later periods could indicate a conservative approach to debt or strengthening equity base.
