3 2021 Calculation
Common equity (market value) = Share price × No. shares of common stock outstanding
= 95.56 × 652,196,905
- Common Equity (Market Value)
- The common equity market value showed a steady increase from 2017 to 2018, rising from approximately $29.4 billion to $33.2 billion. There was a significant jump in 2019 to about $73.7 billion, followed by a moderate increase in 2020 to $77.2 billion. However, in 2021, there was a notable decline to approximately $62.3 billion, indicating a reduction in market valuation.
- Total Equity
- Total equity followed a pattern similar to common equity. It increased from $29.4 billion in 2017 to $33.2 billion in 2018 and then surged to $75.3 billion in 2019. In 2020, total equity rose slightly further to $77.9 billion but decreased significantly to $63.0 billion in 2021. The strong growth observed between 2018 and 2019 suggests a substantial enhancement in shareholder value, while the dip in 2021 indicates a contraction in equity base.
- Total Equity and Debt
- Total equity and debt increased steadily from $34.3 billion in 2017 to $39.1 billion in 2018. There was a sharp rise in 2019 to $97.2 billion, with a marginal increase to $98.7 billion in 2020. This aggregate figure then declined to $84.3 billion in 2021. The large increase between 2018 and 2019 points to significant capital inflows or financing activities, while the subsequent decrease in 2021 reflects potential debt repayments, equity reductions, or asset divestitures.
- Enterprise Value (EV)
- Enterprise value followed trends closely aligned with total equity and debt. It moved from $33.9 billion in 2017 to $38.7 billion in 2018 and jumped considerably to $96.3 billion in 2019. EV slightly increased to $97.8 billion in 2020 before falling to $83.4 billion in 2021. The abrupt escalation between 2018 and 2019 implies increased market capitalization and/or debt, while the decline in 2021 suggests a reduction in the enterprise’s market value or changes in capital structure.
- Overall Analysis
- The financial data indicates a period of substantial growth between 2018 and 2019 across all measured parameters, reflective of enhanced market valuation, equity, and financing levels. The data from 2020 shows stabilization with marginal increases, while 2021 exhibits a reversal of previous gains with significant declines in market value, equity, total capital, and enterprise value. This pattern suggests a cycle of expansion followed by contraction in capital structure and market perception during the analyzed period.
