- Common Equity (Market Value)
- The market value of common equity has shown a consistent upward trend over the six-year period. Starting at $130.8 billion in 2019, it increased steadily each year, reaching $402.8 billion by 2024. This represents more than a threefold increase, indicating strong market confidence and valuation growth for the company.
- Total Equity
- Total equity closely mirrors common equity in value and trend, starting at $131.2 billion in 2019 and rising consistently to $402.8 billion in 2024. The close alignment between common equity and total equity values suggests minimal preferred equity or other equity components outside common stock within this period.
- Total Equity and Debt
- Total equity combined with debt also shows a positive growth trajectory, increasing from $138.4 billion in 2019 to $410.2 billion in 2024. The rise in this combined metric indicates the overall expansion of the company's financial base, encompassing both its equity and liabilities. The growth rate of equity and debt is roughly in line with equity alone, implying relatively stable leverage levels over time.
- Enterprise Value (EV)
- Enterprise value follows a similar increasing pattern, starting at $129.0 billion in 2019 and reaching $399.0 billion in 2024. EV growth close to the increase in total equity and debt signifies an expanding company valuation that includes both market capitalization and net debt, reflecting investor perceptions of future cash flows and operational strength.
- Overall Analysis
- The data consistently reflect substantial growth in equity, capital structure, and valuation metrics over the six-year period. The company’s market capitalization and book value of equity have both more than tripled, and enterprise value has correspondingly increased, demonstrating robust financial expansion and enhanced investor confidence. Stability in the relationship between equity, debt, and enterprise value suggests sustained financial health with no abrupt changes in leverage or capitalization strategies.
