Based on: 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-03-31).
- Debt to equity (excluding operating lease liability)
- This ratio is only available starting from December 31, 2022. From that point onward, it remains stable around 0.08 through the first three quarters, then rises moderately to a peak of 0.18 by March 31, 2025, with some fluctuations in intermediate quarters. This indicates a cautious increase in the company's reliance on debt relative to shareholder equity over this period.
- Debt to equity (including operating lease liability)
- Beginning at 0.10 in March 31, 2020, this ratio remains relatively steady near 0.09-0.11 through 2021. A noticeable increase occurs starting in late 2021, peaking at 0.30 by March 31, 2025. This upward trend reflects growing obligations when operating leases are factored in, suggesting increased leverage and financial commitments over time.
- Debt to capital (excluding operating lease liability)
- Available only from December 31, 2022, it holds steady around 0.07 through the start of 2023, then climbs moderately to around 0.13-0.15 by early 2025, mirroring the trend observed in debt to equity excluding leases, showing a gradual increase in debt within the firm's capital structure.
- Debt to capital (including operating lease liability)
- Starting at 0.09 in March 31, 2020, the ratio is stable near 0.08-0.10 up to the end of 2021. Subsequently, it rises more notably, reaching approximately 0.23 by March 31, 2025, indicative of heightened overall debt obligations measured against capital, especially when accounting for operating lease liabilities.
- Debt to assets (excluding operating lease liability)
- This ratio, available from December 31, 2022, remains relatively flat around 0.05-0.06 initially, then increases to near 0.10-0.11 toward early 2025. The moderate rise indicates a slight growth in debt levels relative to total assets over the observed timeframe.
- Debt to assets (including operating lease liability)
- From 0.07 in March 31, 2020, this ratio holds between 0.07 and 0.09 through 2021 and 2022, then increases gradually to about 0.19 by March 31, 2025. The data suggests increased leverage when considering operating leases as part of liabilities relative to total assets.
- Financial leverage
- Beginning at 1.31 in early 2020, financial leverage slightly declines to around 1.22-1.24 during 2020 and early 2021. It then increases steadily, reaching about 1.56 by March 31, 2025. The rising metric points to an increasing proportion of debt in the company's capital structure, implying more use of liabilities to finance assets over time.

The analysis of the financial data reveals several notable trends regarding total debt, stockholders’ equity, and the debt to equity ratio over the examined periods.
- Total Debt
- Total debt data is limited, with values available starting from December 31, 2022. From this point, total debt figures remain stable at approximately US$ 9,922 million until September 30, 2023. A significant increase occurs at December 31, 2023, with total debt nearly doubling to US$ 18,382 million and maintaining a similar level through March 31, 2024. Subsequently, from June 30, 2024 onwards, total debt escalates again, reaching approximately US$ 28,832 million by December 31, 2025. This progression points to a marked increase in leverage over the last observed periods.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Stockholders’ equity demonstrates an overall upward trajectory from March 31, 2020 to December 31, 2025. Beginning at US$ 105,304 million, equity increases steadily, peaking with some volatility in the 2021 periods but resuming growth thereafter. Notable increases occur from March 31, 2023 (US$ 124,795 million) through December 31, 2025, culminating in US$ 195,070 million. This indicates consistent growth in shareholders’ value despite fluctuations.
- Debt to Equity Ratio
- The debt to equity ratio exhibits a rising trend aligned with the increase in total debt. Initially constant at 0.08 from December 31, 2022 through September 30, 2023, the ratio rises sharply to 0.14 at December 31, 2023, then fluctuates slightly between 0.12 and 0.13 through mid-2024. From June 30, 2024 onward, the ratio increases again reaching 0.15 by December 31, 2025. This pattern reflects a gradual increase in financial leverage, with debt growing faster than equity in more recent periods.
Overall, the data suggests increased reliance on debt financing in recent quarters, while stockholders’ equity has generally grown steadily. The rise in the debt to equity ratio indicates a shift towards a higher leverage position, which may impact financial risk and capital structure considerations going forward.

1 Q2 2025 Calculation
Debt to equity (including operating lease liability) = Total debt (including operating lease liability) ÷ Stockholders’ equity
= 49,560 ÷ 195,070 = 0.25
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total Debt (Including Operating Lease Liability)
- The total debt exhibits a generally increasing trend from March 31, 2020 to June 30, 2025. Beginning at approximately $10.3 billion, total debt steadily rises, with marked acceleration evident from June 30, 2022 onward. Between June 2022 and December 2024, the debt level surges from about $16.1 billion to nearly $49.0 billion, more than tripling over this period. The increase is particularly pronounced from mid-2022 to early 2023, and from late 2024 onward, remaining elevated and relatively stable near $49.5 billion by mid-2025.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Stockholders’ equity shows consistent growth over the same timeframe, starting at approximately $105.3 billion in early 2020 and increasing to an estimated $195.1 billion by mid-2025. While the increase is generally steady, some fluctuations appear, such as a dip around late 2021 before recovering and continuing the upward trajectory. The growth in equity is substantial but less steep compared to the surge in total debt observed in recent years.
- Debt to Equity Ratio (Including Operating Lease Liability)
- The debt to equity ratio remains relatively low and stable around 0.1 from 2020 through the end of 2021, indicating a conservative leverage position relative to equity. However, starting in 2022, the ratio increases significantly, peaking near 0.3 in early 2025, reflecting increasing leverage levels. Despite some minor fluctuations, the ratio remains elevated in the latter years, suggesting a strategic shift towards higher leverage. The rising debt to equity ratio corresponds with the rapid growth in debt exceeding the pace of equity growth during this period.
- Overall Insights
- The data reveals a strategic increase in leverage over the observed period, particularly pronounced from 2022 onward. While stockholders' equity continues to grow steadily, the rapid accumulation of debt results in a higher debt-to-equity ratio, indicating increased reliance on borrowed funds. This evolving capital structure suggests a possible focus on leveraging favorable financing conditions or funding expansion initiatives. The company's ability to maintain growing equity alongside rising debt may reflect underlying financial strength, though the higher leverage warrants monitoring for associated risks.

- Total Debt
- The total debt values are unavailable until the period ending December 31, 2022, after which there is consistent data. Starting from 9,922 million US dollars in December 2022, the total debt remains relatively stable through March 2023 to June 2023, with slight increases evident from September 2023 onward. A substantial rise is observed in December 2023, where the total debt nearly doubles to 18,382 million US dollars. Following this increase, the debt stabilizes around 18,385 million US dollars through March 2024. Another marked increase occurs in June 2024, reaching approximately 28,823 million US dollars and maintains this increased level through June 2025, with only minor fluctuations.
- Total Capital
- Total capital exhibits a generally upward trend between March 2020 and June 2025. Starting at 105,304 million US dollars in March 2020, total capital rises steadily, peaking initially at around 138,227 million US dollars in June 2021 before experiencing a moderate decline to 124,879 million US dollars at the end of 2021. From early 2022 onwards, total capital resumes growth, reaching approximately 152,415 million US dollars in December 2022 and continuing an overall ascending trajectory, culminating in 223,902 million US dollars by June 2025. This indicates sustained expansion in the company's capital base over the observed periods.
- Debt to Capital Ratio
- The debt to capital ratio is reported from September 2022 onwards, remaining quite low initially at approximately 0.07 through September 2022 and December 2022. The ratio then rises to 0.12 in March 2023, demonstrating an increase in leverage corresponding with the surge in total debt during the same period. Subsequently, the ratio stabilizes between 0.10 and 0.11 throughout 2023. Entering 2024, the ratio increases again, peaking at 0.15 in March 2024, before slightly declining to 0.13 by June 2025. This pattern reflects notable growth in debt relative to capital within the timeframe, although the overall ratio remains under 0.20, indicating modest leverage levels.
- Summary
- The data reveals a pattern of rising total capital accompanied by significant increments in total debt, particularly from late 2022 through mid-2024. The increases in debt have led to corresponding rises in the debt to capital ratio, signaling elevated leverage but remaining at relatively controlled levels. Total capital’s overall upward trend highlights growth and expansion, while the periods of increased debt suggest potentially strategic financing activities or investments during these years. The stability in debt levels following spikes suggests management’s intent to maintain debt within certain limits after each increase.

The financial data reveals several notable trends regarding debt and capital structure over the periods analyzed.
- Total Debt (including operating lease liability)
- This metric shows a general upward trajectory from March 31, 2020 through June 30, 2025. Initial values in early 2020 are around $10.3 billion and display gradual increases until late 2021, where a more pronounced growth phase is observable. Particularly from mid-2022 onward, debt rises sharply, peaking near $49.6 billion by mid-2025. This indicates a significant increase in leverage or borrowing activity over these years, with a dramatic acceleration starting in 2022.
- Total Capital (including operating lease liability)
- Total capital also trends upward during the timeframe observed, starting at approximately $115.6 billion in early 2020 and increasing consistently to reach about $244.6 billion by mid-2025. Despite some fluctuations around 2021, the overall growth in capital is steady and nearly doubles over the period, suggesting sustained investment or retained earnings growth supporting the company’s capital base.
- Debt to Capital Ratio (including operating lease liability)
- The debt-to-capital ratio remains relatively stable and low initially, fluctuating between 0.08 and 0.1 from 2020 through 2021. However, beginning in late 2021, the ratio starts to climb more visibly, reaching around 0.17 by late 2022 and subsequently increasing further to levels near 0.20 to 0.23 in 2024. By mid-2025, the ratio slightly decreases but remains elevated compared to early periods. This indicates that debt has grown faster than total capital in recent years, reflecting higher leverage.
In summary, the data illustrates a company progressively increasing both its debt and capital base over time, with a particularly notable acceleration in debt from 2022 onwards. The proportion of debt within total capital rises modestly but steadily, indicating a deliberate increase in financial leverage while maintaining a substantial capital buffer. These patterns may have implications for risk profile, cost of capital, and strategic financing decisions going forward.

Debt to assets = Total debt ÷ Total assets
= 28,832 ÷ 294,744 = 0.10
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total Debt
- The total debt figures remain unavailable until the period ending September 30, 2022, when it is recorded at 9,922 million US dollars. From this point, the debt stays relatively stable through the end of 2022, with a slight increase to 18,382 million US dollars at December 31, 2022. Subsequently, total debt remains fairly consistent from March 31, 2023, through December 31, 2023, at approximately 18,383 to 18,389 million US dollars. Starting in 2024, there is a notable increase in total debt, reaching 28,823 million US dollars by March 31, 2024, and continuing to rise marginally through June 30, 2025, ending at 28,832 million US dollars. This pattern indicates a phase of increased borrowing or debt accumulation beginning in early 2024.
- Total Assets
- Total assets show a generally increasing trend over the entire period analyzed. Beginning at 138,371 million US dollars as of March 31, 2020, total assets steadily grow through 2020 and 2021, with only minor fluctuations, peaking initially at 170,609 million US dollars by June 30, 2021. Some periods in late 2021 and early 2022 present slight decreases or stagnation, but the general trajectory remains upward. Notably, after March 31, 2023, total assets exhibit strong growth, rising from 184,491 million US dollars to 294,744 million US dollars by June 30, 2025. This represents a substantial increase in asset base, highlighting either acquisitions, capital investments, or valuation growth.
- Debt to Assets Ratio
- The debt to assets ratio is only available from September 30, 2022, onward. It starts at 0.06 in September 2022 and decreases slightly to 0.05 by December 31, 2022, indicating a relatively low leverage position at that time. Beginning in the first quarter of 2023, the ratio rises to approximately 0.08 and remains stable through December 31, 2023. Subsequently, the ratio increases further to about 0.11 by March 31, 2024, before stabilizing around 0.10 through June 30, 2025. This upward movement in leverage corresponds with the increased total debt observed and suggests a deliberate increase in financial leverage relative to asset growth during this recent period.

The financial data exhibits clear trends in the evolution of the company's debt levels, asset base, and leverage ratios over the examined periods.
- Total Debt (including operating lease liability)
- The total debt shows a general upward trajectory from March 2020 through June 2025. Starting at approximately $10.3 billion at the beginning of 2020, the debt maintains a relatively modest increase until mid-2022, when it notably accelerates. Between June 2022 and December 2024, total debt nearly doubles from around $16.1 billion to over $37.9 billion, and then spikes further to nearly $49.6 billion by mid-2025. This indicates a marked increase in borrowing or lease obligations, especially from mid-2022 onwards.
- Total Assets
- Total assets steadily increase over the entire period, rising from roughly $138.4 billion in March 2020 to nearly $294.7 billion by June 2025. Growth is consistent, with some fluctuations evident in late 2021 to early 2023, but the overall trend reflects a significant expansion of the asset base, suggesting increased investments or asset acquisitions over these years.
- Debt to Assets Ratio
- The leverage ratio remains relatively low and stable around 7% to 8% during 2020 and much of 2021, reflecting conservative financial leverage relative to the asset base. However, starting in late 2021 and more notably through 2022 to 2025, the ratio climbs progressively, peaking around 19% in late 2024 before slightly declining towards 17-18% by mid-2025. This pattern aligns with the sharp increase in debt against a steadily growing asset base, indicating a heightened level of leverage with potential implications for financial risk and cost of capital.
In summary, the data reveals a company managing a growing asset portfolio alongside an increasing use of debt financing, particularly from 2022 onwards. The rising debt-to-assets ratio highlights an elevated leverage position relative to historical levels, suggesting strategic shifts in capital structure or financing strategies that warrant monitoring in future periods.

The analysis of quarterly financial data reveals trends in total assets, stockholders' equity, and financial leverage over the observed periods. These metrics show evolving patterns reflective of the company's financial position and capital structure dynamics.
- Total Assets
- Total assets exhibit a generally increasing trend from March 31, 2020, through June 30, 2025. Starting at approximately 138 billion USD in early 2020, assets grew with some fluctuations, reaching over 294 billion USD by the end of June 2025. Notably, there is steady asset growth through most quarters, although some quarters demonstrate more pronounced increases, particularly from the first quarter of 2023 onward, suggesting expansions or acquisitions contributing to asset base growth.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Stockholders’ equity also shows an overall upward trend but with less consistent growth compared to total assets. Beginning near 105 billion USD in March 2020, equity grew to approximately 195 billion USD by June 2025. There are periods of stagnation and slight decline, such as from June 2021 to December 2021 and fluctuations around late 2022 and early 2023. The general increase in equity is indicative of retained earnings growth, capital infusions, or valuation changes, yet the slower growth rate relative to assets suggests increasing reliance on liabilities financing.
- Financial Leverage
- The financial leverage ratio trends upward from 1.31 in March 2020 to a peak range above 1.50 in several quarters starting around June 2023 and continuing through subsequent periods. This rising leverage ratio indicates an increasing ratio of total assets to equity, implying that the company has progressively increased its use of debt or other liabilities relative to equity to finance asset growth. The ratio remains relatively stable around 1.5 in the most recent quarters, signaling sustained leverage at elevated levels compared to earlier periods.
In summary, the data reflect a company experiencing consistent expansion of its asset base supported by growth in shareholders' equity but with an increasing degree of financial leverage. This suggests that while internal capital growth supports part of the expansion, external financing through liabilities has played a larger role over time, raising the leverage ratio. The trends denote an aggressive growth strategy potentially accompanied by heightened financial risk.
