The financial data exhibits significant fluctuations in key metrics over the analyzed periods.

Net Income
Net income shows a general upward trend from 193 million USD in 2005 to a peak of 4865 million USD in 2019. There is a notable sharp decline in 2020, dropping to 59 million USD, likely reflecting an extraordinary event impacting profitability. Subsequently, net income recovers strongly in 2021 and continues to increase through 2024, reaching 5882 million USD. This recovery suggests resilience and effective management in returning to profitability after the dip.
Stockholders' Equity
Stockholders’ equity steadily increases from 369 million USD in 2005, peaking at 11,261 million USD in 2017. Post-2017, equity declines significantly, becoming negative by 2023 with -2744 million USD, and further decreasing to -4020 million USD in 2024. This downturn indicates potential financial strain or sizeable distributions or losses exceeding retained earnings in recent years.
Return on Equity (ROE)
ROE starts at a high 52.22% in 2005, stabilizing between roughly 20% and 40% through 2018, with several fluctuations. It reaches an exceptional peak of 82% in 2019 before plummeting dramatically to 1.21% in 2020, mirroring the drop in net income. A recovery to 18.86% occurs in 2021, followed by a sharp increase to 109.92% in 2022. ROE data is not reported for 2023 and 2024. The high volatility in ROE corresponds with changes in net income and equity, underscoring the impact of the declining equity on this profitability ratio.

Overall, the data reveals a company that experienced strong growth in earnings and equity through 2017, followed by a period of financial distress as evidenced by negative equity in recent years. The substantial drop and subsequent rebound in net income and ROE around 2020 suggest a disruptive event that temporarily impaired financial performance. The negative equity figures and highly variable ROE imply increased financial risk going forward, despite recovering profitability.
