The market value of the company increased steadily over the three-year period, rising from $42,536 million in 2012 to $49,101 million in 2014. This reflects a positive growth trend with a total increase of approximately 15.4% from 2012 to 2014. The growth accelerated slightly in the last year, with a 11.7% increase from 2013 to 2014, compared to a 3.3% increase from 2012 to 2013.
Invested capital
The invested capital exhibited a fluctuating trend. It increased significantly from $13,807 million in 2012 to $16,041 million in 2013, which is a 16.1% increase, indicating a substantial increase in resources tied up in the business during that period. However, in 2014, the invested capital decreased to $14,787 million, representing a reduction of 7.8%, suggesting a possible divestment or greater efficiency in capital allocation.
Market value added (MVA)

MVA decreased slightly from $28,729 million in 2012 to $27,932 million in 2013, a decline of about 2.8%. Despite this dip, MVA increased notably in 2014 to $34,313 million, a 22.9% rise from the previous year. This recovery indicates an improvement in the company's ability to generate value beyond its invested capital by the end of the period.
Overall insights
The overall market value growth alongside the initial rise and subsequent decline in invested capital suggests that the company may have improved capital efficiency by 2014. The increase in MVA in the final year signifies enhanced shareholder value creation despite the reduced invested capital. The trends indicate solid performance in market valuation with strategic capital management over the period analyzed.

The financial data reveals several significant trends regarding the company's market value added (MVA), invested capital, and MVA spread ratio over the three-year period ending December 27, 2014.

Market Value Added (MVA)
The MVA exhibits a fluctuating pattern. It declined slightly from 28,729 million US dollars in 2012 to 27,932 million US dollars in 2013, before rising substantially to 34,313 million US dollars in 2014. This increase in 2014 suggests an improvement in market perception or operational efficiency that positively impacted the company's market value relative to its capital invested.
Invested Capital
The invested capital amount increased notably from 13,807 million US dollars in 2012 to 16,041 million US dollars in 2013, indicating an expansion in the capital base. However, in 2014, invested capital decreased to 14,787 million US dollars, which may reflect divestitures, asset sales, or more efficient use of capital during that year.
MVA Spread Ratio
This ratio experienced a decline from 208.07% in 2012 to 174.12% in 2013, aligning with the reduction in MVA and the increase in invested capital during the same period. Nonetheless, in 2014 the MVA spread ratio increased sharply to 232.05%, marking the highest ratio in the three years. This suggests that the company generated a significantly higher return over its cost of capital in 2014 compared to previous years.

Overall, the data shows that while 2013 was characterized by higher invested capital but lower market value added and spread ratio, 2014 reflected improved efficiency and value creation as indicated by higher MVA and MVA spread ratio alongside a reduction in invested capital. These trends imply strengthened financial performance and enhanced market confidence in the latest year of the analysis.
