- Debt to equity ratio
- The debt to equity ratio exhibited an overall declining trend from September 29, 2019, to June 29, 2025. Starting at 0.9 in late 2019, it peaked in the first quarter of 2020 at 1.12 before gradually decreasing. From mid-2021 onwards, the ratio consistently remained below 0.7, reaching its lowest point of 0.45 by the end of June 2025. This indicates a reduced reliance on debt financing relative to equity over the analyzed period.
- Debt to capital ratio
- This ratio mirrored the general downward pattern observed in the debt to equity ratio. Beginning at 0.47 in September 2019, it increased slightly to 0.53 by the first half of 2020, and then steadily declined through subsequent periods. By mid-2025, the debt to capital ratio reached 0.31, suggesting an improvement in the capital structure, with lower proportions of debt financing compared to the company's total capital.
- Debt to assets ratio
- The debt to assets ratio followed a similar declining trajectory over the reviewed quarters. It increased marginally from 0.36 to 0.4 during the first half of 2020, after which it progressively decreased to 0.21 by June 2025. This trend reflects a reduction in the proportion of assets financed through debt, implying potentially less financial risk and greater asset coverage by equity sources.
- Financial leverage
- Financial leverage showed a rising trend early in the period, climbing from 2.5 in late 2019 to a peak near 2.85 in early 2021. Subsequently, a gradual downward trend is apparent, with leverage decreasing to around 2.1 to 2.16 by mid-2025. This progression signifies a move towards a more conservative financing strategy, with a decreasing amount of total assets funded by shareholders' equity relative to debt.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The financial data reveals several notable trends in the company's debt and equity structure over the analyzed periods. Total debt showed a generally increasing trend from late 2019 through early 2022, rising from approximately $4.4 billion to a peak near $5.0 billion. However, from around late 2024 onward, a marked decline is observed, with total debt dropping significantly to about $4.48 billion by mid-2025.
Stockholders’ equity demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory throughout the timeframe. Beginning at roughly $4.9 billion in late 2019, equity rose steadily, surpassing $8 billion in 2023, and continuing to increase to about $9.86 billion by mid-2025. This growth reflects strengthening financial solidity and possibly retained earnings accumulation or capital infusion over time.
The debt to equity ratio, representing the leverage level, exhibits a declining pattern overall. Initially, the ratio hovered around or above 1.0 from late 2019 through early 2021, indicating relatively high leverage. Following this period, there was a significant reduction to values below 0.7 starting in 2022, progressing towards approximately 0.45 by mid-2025. This trend reflects a deleveraging process, with the company reducing reliance on debt financing relative to its equity base.
- Total Debt
- Increased moderately from $4.43B to around $5.0B until early 2022, then gradually decreased, reaching $4.48B by mid-2025.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Steadily increased from $4.94B to $9.86B over the period, indicating growth in net assets.
- Debt to Equity Ratio
- Decreased from values near and above 1.0 to below 0.5, signaling a shift towards lower leverage and stronger equity backing.
Overall, the company's financial structure appears to be strengthening, with equity growth outpacing debt accumulation and a corresponding reduction in leverage. This may suggest improved financial stability and lower risk profile moving forward.

The financial data over the analyzed periods reveals notable trends in the company's leverage and capital structure. Total debt exhibited an initial upward trajectory, rising from approximately $4,433 million in late 2019 to a peak around $5,825 million by late 2020. This increase was followed by a general stabilization of total debt levels around the $5,000 million mark from late 2020 through 2024, with a decline to approximately $4,484 million in mid-2025, indicating a reduction in debt obligations in the most recent periods.
Total capital displayed a fluctuating but overall upward trend. Starting at approximately $9,370 million in late 2019, total capital increased significantly after mid-2021, reaching upwards of $14,346 million by mid-2025. The growth in total capital outpaced the growth in debt during later periods, suggesting increased equity or retained earnings contributing to the capital base.
The debt-to-capital ratio reflects these movements and trends in the capital structure. The ratio initially rose from 0.47 to a peak of 0.53 by the first half of 2020, corresponding with the increase in total debt and capital. From mid-2020 onwards, the ratio consistently declined, falling to approximately 0.31 by mid-2025. This decline indicates a reduced reliance on debt financing relative to total capital, suggesting a conservative stance in capital structure or a strategic deleveraging approach during this period.
- Total Debt
- Increased steadily through 2019 and 2020, peaking in late 2020, followed by relative stabilization and a decline in 2025.
- Total Capital
- Exhibited growth with some fluctuations, especially strong growth from 2021 onwards, increasing the overall capital base significantly by 2025.
- Debt-to-Capital Ratio
- Peaked in early 2020, then steadily declined, indicating a reduction in financial leverage and a gradual shift toward equity or internally generated funding.
Overall, the data suggests prudent financial management, with the company maintaining a controlled debt level while growing its capital base, thereby improving financial stability and reducing leverage risk over time.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals distinct trends in the company’s leverage and asset growth over the period observed.
- Total Debt
- Total debt showed an initial upward trajectory from late 2019 through mid-2020, peaking around June 2020 at approximately 5.81 billion USD. This was followed by a general stabilization, with a slight decline observed from mid-2021 onward, maintaining levels near 5 billion USD until the end of 2024, and then a noticeable reduction in mid-2025 to about 4.48 billion USD. The debt level thus exhibits a peak phase, then a plateau, and a subsequent decline in the latest periods.
- Total Assets
- Total assets consistently increased over the entire time frame, beginning at 12.3 billion USD in late 2019 and progressively reaching over 21.3 billion USD by mid-2025. Despite minor fluctuations, the overall trend indicates steady asset growth, signifying expansion or accumulation of resources during these quarters.
- Debt to Assets Ratio
- The debt to assets ratio, reflecting financial leverage, initially rose from 0.36 in late 2019 to a peak of 0.40 by mid-2020, corresponding with the increase in debt relative to assets during that period. Subsequently, this ratio demonstrated a consistent declining trend, dropping to 0.27 by the end of 2021 and gradually decreasing further to 0.21 by mid-2025. This decline suggests a reduction in leverage over time, driven by increasing asset levels outpacing total debt and the eventual reduction in debt itself.
Overall, the financial data points to strategic asset growth paired with controlled or reduced leverage. The company appears to have transitioned from a phase of increasing indebtedness into a more conservative position, improving its financial risk profile by diminishing debt relative to assets over the latter part of the observed period.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several distinct trends in total assets, stockholders’ equity, and financial leverage over the observed period.
- Total Assets
- Total assets generally exhibited an upward trajectory from the initial value of approximately 12.3 billion US dollars to over 21.3 billion US dollars toward the latter part of the period. Despite some fluctuations, the overall pattern indicates growth in asset base. Notable increases occur during mid-2020 and progressively through 2022, whereas there are occasional slight declines or plateaus in late 2022 and mid-2023.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Stockholders’ equity shows a consistent increase over time moving from roughly 4.9 billion US dollars to nearly 9.9 billion US dollars. There is a generally steady rise across most quarters, with some minor dips. The equity growth appears somewhat steadier after mid-2021, reflecting improvements in the company’s net asset position. Equity values tend to advance each quarter, reinforcing a positive capitalization trend.
- Financial Leverage
- The financial leverage ratio demonstrates a declining trend over the course of the dataset. Initially, the ratio starts near 2.5 and peaks around 2.85 between late 2019 and early 2021. Afterward, there is a gradual and consistent decline in leverage, reaching approximately 2.1 by early 2025. This reduction suggests a progressive lowering of debt relative to equity, indicating an improving balance sheet structure with reduced reliance on external financing.
In summary, the data indicates that the entity has expanded its total asset base significantly while concurrently increasing stockholders’ equity. The downward trend in financial leverage further points toward enhanced financial stability and a more conservative capital structure over time. These patterns collectively suggest strengthened financial health and potentially improved risk profile across the observed quarters.
