- Revenue Trends
- The net revenue exhibits a consistent upward trajectory over the entire period. Starting from $1,484 million in 2009, revenue nearly doubles to $2,093 million in 2010 and continues to grow steadily each year. Significant acceleration is observed from 2014 onward, where revenue increases from $4,269 million to $51,574 million by 2024. This represents a compound and substantial growth, especially between 2015 and 2024, indicating either expansion, acquisitions, or increased market demand.
- Operating Income Patterns
- Operating income displays considerable variability. Initial growth leads from $48 million in 2009 to a peak of $1,632 million in 2015. However, a notable negative operating income of -$409 million in 2016 interrupts this upward trend. Following recovery in subsequent years, operating income climbs to a high of $16,207 million in 2023 before declining to $13,463 million in 2024. This volatility suggests periods of operational challenges or restructuring but overall a strong development in operational profitability.
- Net Income Fluctuations
- Net income begins negatively at -$44 million in 2009 but quickly turns positive in 2010 with $415 million and generally increases over the years. A significant downturn occurs in 2016 with a net loss of -$1,739 million, aligning with the operating income loss that year. Post-2016, net income rises sharply, peaking at $14,082 million in 2023 before dropping to $5,895 million in 2024. This fluctuation mirrors operating income's trends but suggests additional impacts from non-operating factors or extraordinary items affecting net profitability in certain years.
- Overall Financial Performance Insights
- The company demonstrates strong revenue growth with some volatility in profitability metrics. The decline in operating income and net income in 2016 could indicate significant one-time costs or market challenges. Recovery and substantial growth in both operating and net income following 2016 suggest effective management strategies or favorable market developments. The decrease in the latest year's profitability despite increased revenue warrants further investigation into cost structure, margins, or other financial activities impacting net results.

The financial data exhibits significant changes in the current assets and total assets of the company over the analyzed period.
- Current Assets
- The current assets increased steadily from 2009 to 2013, rising from US$864 million to US$1,818 million. A marked acceleration is observed in 2014, with current assets more than doubling to US$3,835 million, followed by a slight decline in 2015 to US$3,775 million. From 2016 onwards, the current assets grew substantially, peaking at US$15,823 million in 2017. After this peak, a downward correction occurred in 2018, where current assets decreased to US$9,107 million, before resuming an upward trend to US$20,847 million in 2023. The most recent figure in 2024 shows a decline to US$19,595 million, indicating some volatility or asset rebalancing in the latest year.
- Total Assets
- Total assets showed a gradual increase from US$1,970 million in 2009 to US$3,415 million in 2013, similar to the trend in current assets. A significant jump is noted in 2014 and 2015, with total assets rising sharply to around US$10,491 million and US$10,592 million respectively. Another substantial increase occurred in 2016, with total assets surging to US$49,966 million and further reaching US$54,418 million in 2017. After a decline to US$50,124 million in 2018, total assets rose steadily through 2020 and 2021, hitting US$75,933 million, before slightly decreasing in the subsequent two years to approximately US$72,861 million in 2023. A pronounced increase is observed in 2024, with total assets reaching US$165,645 million, which is more than double the previous years' amounts, indicating a major asset acquisition, investment, or revaluation.
Overall, both current and total assets reflect aggressive growth phases interspersed with periods of correction or consolidation. The data indicates notable asset expansions in 2014-2017 and an exceptional surge in 2024. This pattern suggests strategic scaling or restructuring activities during these intervals. The fluctuations in current assets, particularly in recent years, imply dynamic management of short-term resources, while total asset growth indicates significant long-term asset accumulation or valuation changes.

- Current Liabilities
- The current liabilities show a fluctuating trend with an initial decrease from 633 million USD in 2009 to 346 million USD in 2012. Subsequently, there is a general upward trajectory, peaking at 7,405 million USD in 2023, followed by a significant surge to 16,697 million USD in 2024. This indicates a substantial increase in short-term obligations in the most recent year.
- Total Liabilities
- Total liabilities exhibit considerable volatility over the period. Starting from 930 million USD in 2009, the figure generally rises, experiencing notable spikes especially between 2014 and 2017. After reaching 50,540 million USD in 2022, the liabilities decrease slightly to 48,873 million USD in 2023 before rising sharply to 97,967 million USD in 2024. The sharp increase in the final year reflects significant new obligations or debt accumulation.
- Long-term Debt (including current portion)
- Long-term debt values are incomplete for early years but show an increasing trend where data is available. Starting at 594 million USD in 2009, the figure jumps to 5,509 million USD in 2014, escalating steadily to 39,515 million USD in 2023. The debt then rises sharply to 67,566 million USD in 2024, indicating a heavy increase in long-term financial commitments recently.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Stockholders’ equity has shown a consistent upward movement overall. Beginning at 1,040 million USD in 2009, equity rises steadily, experiencing a steep increase in 2016 to 18,892 million USD. After fluctuating somewhat, it reaches 23,988 million USD in 2023 before sharply increasing to 67,678 million USD in 2024. This substantial rise in equity in the final year suggests strong capital inflows or retained earnings improvement concurrent with increased liabilities and debt.

The analysis of the cash flow activities over the given period reveals clear trends and fluctuations in operating, investing, and financing cash flows.
- Operating Activities
- Net cash provided by operating activities shows a consistent and strong upward trend from 2009 to 2024. The cash flow increased from $139 million in 2009 to $19,962 million in 2024, indicating significant growth in the company's operational efficiency and cash generation capability over the 16-year period. The increase is steady with no major drops, reflecting stable and improving core business performance.
- Investing Activities
- Net cash used in investing activities is predominantly negative throughout the period, indicating ongoing capital expenditures or acquisitions. There are notable spikes in outflows in 2014 (-$5,885 million) and 2018 (-$15,422 million), as well as a significant outflow again in 2024 (-$23,070 million). These peaks suggest periods of aggressive investment or acquisition activity. Apart from these substantial outflows, the investing cash flow remains negative or minimal, reinforcing the company’s focus on growth through investment.
- Financing Activities
- The net cash provided by or used in financing activities varies considerably over the years. The company experienced net inflows of cash in some years (notably 2014 with $5,329 million, 2016 with $7,704 million, and 2019 with $6,488 million), likely reflecting debt issuance or equity raising. Conversely, there are substantial outflows in later years, especially from 2018 through 2023, with significant negative figures (e.g., -$11,118 million in 2018 and -$15,816 million in 2022), possibly indicating debt repayments, share buybacks, or dividend payments. The volatility suggests an active approach to managing capital structure depending on strategic needs.
Overall, the company demonstrates robust operational cash generation with strategic and sizable investments to drive growth. Financing activities show variability corresponding to shifts in capital management strategies, especially noticeable in recent years where substantial outflows might be linked to deleveraging or returning capital to shareholders.

1, 2, 3 Data adjusted for splits and stock dividends.
- Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS)
- Over the period observed, basic and diluted EPS demonstrate considerable volatility with notable fluctuations. Initially, EPS values are near zero or slightly positive, with an early negative value in 2009 (-0.02). From 2010 through 2015, EPS fluctuated modestly, reaching a peak basic EPS of 0.52 in 2015 before a significant decline in 2016, where both basic and diluted EPS turned negative (-0.48 and -0.49 respectively). Following this dip, there is a pronounced recovery starting in 2017, with EPS values generally trending upward, peaking around 2018 with basic EPS at 2.93, exemplifying strong earnings growth. However, this peak is not sustained in all subsequent years; 2019 and 2020 witness a sharp reduction in EPS, dropping to approximately 0.66 basic EPS. After 2020, the earnings regain strength again, increasing steadily to a new high by 2023 (basic EPS at 3.39), before decreasing to 1.27 in 2024. Diluted EPS follows a similar pattern throughout, maintaining a slightly lower value than basic EPS consistently.
- Dividend Per Share
- Dividends per share present a continuous and steady upward trend beginning in 2011, when a modest dividend of $0.04 was introduced. From that point onward, dividends increased progressively almost every year, demonstrating a consistent commitment to returning value to shareholders. Starting at $0.04, dividends grew steadily, doubling approximately every few years, reaching $1.06 by 2018 and eventually $2.11 by 2024. This progression exemplifies a policy of increasing dividend payments despite fluctuations in earnings, indicating confidence in sustained cash flow and a shareholder-friendly approach.
- General Observations
- The earnings data suggest periods of both financial stress and recovery, with significant dips (notably in 2016) followed by strong rebounds. This volatility could be a reflection of operational challenges, market conditions, or extraordinary items impacting results. Meanwhile, dividends display uninterrupted growth, hinting at stable underlying cash generation capability and a strategic focus on shareholder remuneration. The divergence between fluctuating EPS and steadily increasing dividends could mean the company prioritizes dividend growth as a signal of financial strength or uses reserves/other means to maintain the dividend trajectory during lower earnings years. Overall, the financial data indicate a company with cyclical earnings but a strong, consistent dividend growth policy.
