³ 2022 Calculation
Common equity (market value) = Share price × No. shares of common stock outstanding
= 31.67 × 2,062,605,434

The financial data over the five-year period reveals several key trends related to the equity, debt, and enterprise value of the company.

Common Equity (Market Value): The market value of common equity increased steadily from US$55,544 million in 2018 to a peak of US$77,142 million in 2021. However, there was a notable decline in 2022, dropping to US$65,323 million. This suggests a period of growth followed by a contraction in market valuation.
Total Equity: Total equity closely mirrors the trend in common equity, rising from US$55,561 million in 2018 to US$77,152 million in 2021, then decreasing to US$65,333 million in 2022. The parallel movement indicates consistency between market valuation and book equity values over this period.
Total Equity and Debt: The combined total of equity and debt showed an overall upward trend from US$70,318 million in 2018 to US$93,518 million in 2021. In 2022, there was a decline to US$83,380 million. This pattern indicates increasing capital structure size until 2021, with a subsequent reduction that might be related to debt repayment, equity reduction, or asset divestitures.
Enterprise Value (EV): Enterprise value also rose consistently from US$69,207 million in 2018 to US$91,202 million in 2021 before dropping to US$81,293 million in 2022. The EV trend parallels the changes in total capital structure and market capitalization, reflecting market perceptions of company value and changes in capital deployment.

Overall, the data suggests a growth phase through 2021 characterized by increasing equity, debt, and enterprise value, followed by a period of decline in 2022 across all key financial measures. This may be indicative of market adjustments, operational challenges, or strategic changes impacting the company's valuation and capital structure.
