Summary Insights
The data reveals a consistent pattern of growth in 2014 followed by a notable contraction through 2015 and 2016 across all major financial metrics: common equity, total equity, total equity and debt, and enterprise value. The slight recovery in 2017 suggests stabilization or modest improvement in the company's financial position after experiencing significant declines in the prior years. Overall, the volatility observed may indicate market or operational challenges during 2015 and 2016, with signs of cautious recovery thereafter.
