- Debt to Equity
- The debt to equity ratio remained relatively stable between December 2020 and September 2022, fluctuating slightly around 0.14 to 0.17. Starting December 2022, there was a notable increase, peaking around 0.31 during early 2024 quarters. Following this peak, the ratio showed a gradual decline towards 0.20 by November 2025, indicating a reduction in relative debt levels compared to equity over time.
- Debt to Equity Including Operating Lease Liability
- This ratio followed a similar trajectory to the standard debt to equity ratio but was consistently slightly higher due to the inclusion of operating lease liabilities. It rose steadily from approximately 0.18 in late 2020 to a peak of around 0.33 during early 2024, before gradually decreasing to about 0.21 by the end of the period.
- Debt to Capital
- The debt to capital ratio showed a slight decrease in the earlier years, maintaining levels around 0.12 to 0.14 until late 2022. From December 2022 onward, there was an increase, reaching roughly 0.24 in early 2024. The ratio then decreased slightly towards 0.17 by late 2025, suggesting improved capital structure management with a lower proportion of debt in total capital over the longer term.
- Debt to Capital Including Operating Lease Liability
- Similar patterns were observed as with the debt to capital ratio, but consistently higher due to lease liabilities. The ratio rose from around 0.15 in 2020 to about 0.25 in early 2024, then decreased gradually to around 0.17 by November 2025.
- Debt to Assets
- The debt to assets ratio remained stable and low (approximately 0.10 to 0.12) from 2020 through mid-2022. From December 2022, there was a marked increase up to approximately 0.21, after which it declined steadily to about 0.14 by late 2025.
- Debt to Assets Including Operating Lease Liability
- Debt to assets including operating leases followed a similar pattern as the standard measure, starting around 0.13, peaking near 0.22 in early 2024, and then declining back to about 0.14 by the end of the observed period.
- Financial Leverage
- Financial leverage remained relatively consistent from December 2020 until late 2022, with ratios between 1.32 and 1.35. From early 2023, it showed a gradual increasing trend, peaking at 1.54 around mid-2024. The leverage ratio then declined slightly but remained elevated relative to earlier years, around 1.46 by late 2025, indicating an overall increase in reliance on debt financing relative to equity.
- Interest Coverage
- The interest coverage ratio displayed a strong positive trend throughout 2020 and 2021, rising from about 18 to a peak exceeding 58 in mid-2022, reflecting a solid capacity to cover interest expenses. Beginning late 2022, the ratio declined sharply and plunged into negative territory for several quarters, reaching a low around -13.58 by mid-2023. This indicates periods of earnings insufficient to cover interest expenses. Subsequently, interest coverage improved steadily from late 2023 onward, returning to positive values and reaching a strong level above 32 by late 2025, demonstrating recovery in earnings relative to interest obligations.

The analyzed financial data reveals distinct trends in the company's leverage and equity position over the observed periods.
- Total Debt
- Total debt demonstrated relative stability with gradual increases from December 2020 through September 2022, ranging approximately between $6.6 billion to $7 billion. Starting in December 2022, a notable rise occurred, peaking at about $15.5 billion in August 2025, before declining to around $11.8 billion by November 2025. This pattern suggests an aggressive borrowing phase followed by debt reduction towards the end of the timeframe.
- Shareholders’ Equity
- Shareholders' equity showed consistent growth from $39.9 billion at the end of 2020 to $58.8 billion by November 2025. Despite minor fluctuations, the general trend was upward, indicating strengthening of the company's net asset base and potentially increased retained earnings or capital contributions over time.
- Debt to Equity Ratio
- The debt to equity ratio was relatively low and stable at approximately 0.15 or below from December 2020 until September 2022. Subsequently, it rose significantly, reaching a peak near 0.31 between February 2024 and August 2025, reflecting increased leverage in conjunction with the rise in total debt. Toward the final period observed, the ratio decreased to approximately 0.2, aligned with reductions in total debt and sustained equity growth.
Overall, the company managed a phase of increased indebtedness beginning in late 2022, elevating leverage to its highest points within the dataset. Yet, the steady expansion of shareholders’ equity points to strong capital accumulation. The later reduction in total debt and improvement in the debt to equity ratio suggest a possible deleveraging strategy or improved capacity to manage obligations. These dynamics collectively indicate active balance sheet management with periods of strategic borrowing balanced by equity growth and subsequent debt reduction.

Debt to equity (including operating lease liability) = Total debt (including operating lease liability) ÷ Shareholders’ equity
= 12,425 ÷ 58,806 = 0.21
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The financial data exhibits notable trends in the company's capital structure over the observed periods. Total debt, which includes operating lease liabilities, experienced a general upward trajectory from December 2020 through late 2022, increasing significantly from approximately $7.2 billion to nearly $14.3 billion by August 2023. This sharp rise marks a substantial increase in leverage within this timeframe. Subsequent periods show fluctuations, with debt peaking around $16.1 billion in May 2025 before declining to about $12.4 billion by November 2025.
Shareholders’ equity demonstrated steady growth throughout the entire period, expanding from roughly $39.9 billion at the end of 2020 to $58.8 billion by November 2025. This indicates consistent accumulation of equity, reflecting retained earnings or possible equity injections, which positively impacts the company’s net worth and financial stability.
The debt to equity ratio, calculated by dividing total debt by shareholders’ equity, illustrates changes in financial leverage and risk profile. Initially, the ratio remained low and stable between 0.15 and 0.18 from late 2020 to late 2021. This suggests a conservative capital structure with relatively low debt reliance. However, starting in December 2022, the ratio increased sharply, peaking around 0.33 by early 2024, indicating a period where debt grew faster than equity, raising leverage and potential financial risk. From mid-2024 onwards, the ratio gradually declined but remained elevated compared to initial levels, ending at approximately 0.21 by November 2025. This trend implies conscious efforts to reduce leverage after a period of heightened borrowing.
In summary, the data reveals a phase of increasing debt levels and leverage from 2020 through early 2024, followed by a period of debt reduction and modest deleveraging. Concurrently, shareholder equity showed steady growth, reinforcing the company's equity base. The movements in the debt to equity ratio reflect these underlying changes, highlighting the dynamic nature of the company’s financial strategy and capital management over the observed timeframe.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total Debt
-
Total debt demonstrated a gradual increase starting from approximately $6.6 billion in late 2020 through to late 2022, reaching a peak of around $13.5 billion. Following this peak, there was notable volatility where debt initially fluctuated near the peak levels but showed a declining trend toward mid-2025, ending at about $11.8 billion. This pattern suggests active debt management with a significant rise, followed by partial reduction possibly indicating refinancing, repayment, or shifts in financing strategy over the observed periods.
- Total Capital
-
Total capital consistently increased over the entire time frame, beginning at approximately $46.5 billion in late 2020 and expanding steadily to roughly $70.6 billion by mid-2025. Although minor decreases occurred in some quarters after mid-2023, the overall trend reflects a strong growth trajectory in the company's capital base, suggesting accumulation of equity, retained earnings, or other capital additions outweighing reductions.
- Debt to Capital Ratio
-
The debt to capital ratio stayed relatively stable and low, ranging near 0.13 to 0.14 in the early periods through 2021, indicating conservative leverage levels. However, starting in late 2022, there was an evident increase in this ratio to a peak around 0.24. This rise in leverage ratio corresponds with the spike in total debt relative to total capital. After this peak, the ratio gradually declined to approximately 0.17 by mid-2025, reflecting an improved balance between debt and capital towards the latter periods.
- Overall Analysis
-
The data reveals a period of significant debt accumulation from late 2021 through 2022, leading to increased leverage. Despite the leverage rising, total capital grew consistently, supporting the company’s financial expansion. The subsequent partial reduction in debt and leverage ratio suggests a possible strategy to optimize capital structure after a phase of expansion or investment. The financial profile, therefore, reflects an adaptive approach to capital management with controlled leverage relative to total resources over the observed periods.

= 12,425 ÷ 71,231 = 0.17
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The financial data reveals notable trends in the company's capital structure over the observed periods. Total debt experienced a gradual increase from December 2020 through September 2022, rising from approximately $7.16 billion to about $7.52 billion. Subsequently, there was a sharp escalation in debt levels starting December 2022, peaking near $16.14 billion in May 2025, before a marked reduction to roughly $12.43 billion by November 2025.
Total capital showed a consistent upward trajectory across the entire timeframe. It increased steadily from approximately $47.07 billion in December 2020 to around $57.42 billion by September 2022. From that point, capital continued to grow, reaching about $71.23 billion by the final period in November 2025. This pattern indicates ongoing expansion and accumulation of capital resources.
The debt-to-capital ratio remained relatively stable at around 0.14–0.15 during the initial phases up to September 2022, suggesting a controlled leverage position. However, starting in December 2022, the ratio rose sharply to a peak of approximately 0.25 through early 2024 and maintained a high level around 0.24. This indicates a period of increased leverage coinciding with the rise in total debt. Toward the final periods, the ratio declined to approximately 0.17, reflecting the reduction in debt relative to capital.
Overall, the data exhibits a phase of stable and moderate leverage, followed by an interval of heightened indebtedness and leverage ratio, and finally a de-escalation of leverage in the most recent periods. The substantial increase in total capital throughout the timeline supports the company's expanded financial base, while the fluctuations in debt and leverage suggest strategic adjustments in financing and capital structure management.
- Total Debt
- Gradual increase until late 2022, sharp rise to a peak in mid-2025, followed by a notable reduction.
- Total Capital
- Consistent steady growth throughout the entire period, indicating expansion.
- Debt-to-Capital Ratio
- Stable low levels initially, peak leverage phase from late 2022 to early 2025, then a decrease indicating deleveraging.

1 Q1 2026 Calculation
Debt to assets = Total debt ÷ Total assets
= 11,756 ÷ 85,971 = 0.14
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total Debt
- The total debt remained relatively stable around 6,600 to 7,000 million USD from the end of 2020 through the third quarter of 2022. Starting in the final quarter of 2022, there was a notable increase in total debt, peaking at approximately 15,541 million USD by the third quarter of 2025. This represents more than a twofold increase over the observed period, followed by a decrease towards the end of the timeline to around 11,756 million USD. The pattern suggests an aggressive borrowing phase beginning in late 2022, with a partial deleveraging or repayment occurring subsequently.
- Total Assets
- Total assets exhibited a steady upward trend throughout the period under review. Beginning at about 53,691 million USD at the end of 2020, assets grew consistently over the years, reaching approximately 85,971 million USD by the fourth quarter of 2025. Despite a minor decline observed around early 2023, the general trajectory was growth, indicative of asset accumulation possibly through investment, acquisition, or organic business expansion.
- Debt to Assets Ratio
- The debt to assets ratio maintained a relatively low and stable range from 0.10 to 0.12 through most of 2020 and 2021. A sharp increase occurred starting in late 2022, with the ratio rising to around 0.21, coinciding with the surge in total debt. After reaching this peak, the ratio exhibited some fluctuations but remained elevated near the 0.20 mark until a decline towards the final periods to approximately 0.14. This pattern reflects increased leverage during the middle of the period, which was somewhat moderated by the end of the timeline.
- Overall Insights
- The data reveals a phase of conservative leverage with balanced asset growth through late 2022, followed by a period of increased borrowing aligned with continued asset growth. The peak leverage ratios suggest an effort to finance expansion or other strategic initiatives through debt. The subsequent reduction in both total debt and leverage ratio towards the end implies a strategic adjustment to lower financial risk or optimize the capital structure after a period of high indebtedness.

Despite minor short-term declines around early 2023, the overall trajectory remained positive and reflected growth in asset base.
- Debt to Assets Ratio (Including Operating Lease Liability)
- This ratio was stable between 0.11 and 0.13 from late 2020 through mid-2022, indicating a relatively low leverage position. Starting in December 2022, there was a pronounced increase in the ratio, peaking around 0.22 in early 2024. After this peak, the leverage ratio gradually declined, falling to 0.14 by November 2025, signaling deleveraging following the period of high debt accumulation.
- Summary of Trends
- The data reveals an initial period of stable debt and asset growth, followed by a significant increase in debt starting late 2022, which coincided with an increase in the debt-to-assets ratio, reflecting higher leverage. Asset growth continued at a steady pace throughout this period. The peak in debt and leverage was followed by a notable reduction, suggesting efforts to lower indebtedness in the most recent quarters. Overall, the company showed a tendency to grow its asset base while managing fluctuations in its capital structure with a strategic shift towards deleveraging after mid-2025.

1 Q1 2026 Calculation
Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Shareholders’ equity
= 85,971 ÷ 58,806 = 1.46
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total assets
- Over the examined periods, total assets exhibited a generally increasing trend with some fluctuations. Starting at approximately 53.7 billion USD, total assets steadily grew to reach about 68.9 billion USD by the end of 2022. Subsequently, a slight decline occurred in early 2023, followed by another period of growth that pushed assets above 85.9 billion USD by the late 2025 period. This trend indicates a substantial expansion in the company's asset base over the timeframe, suggesting active investment or accumulation of resources.
- Shareholders’ equity
- Shareholders' equity also demonstrated a growth trajectory, rising from roughly 39.9 billion USD at the end of 2020 to nearly 49.3 billion USD at the close of 2022. After a decline in early 2023, equity values continued to increase, ultimately reaching about 58.8 billion USD by late 2025. While equity increased, the periods of decline early in 2023 highlight some volatility possibly linked to operational or market factors. The overall growth represents strengthening equity capital over time.
- Financial leverage
- Financial leverage ratios remained relatively stable in the early periods, fluctuating narrowly between 1.32 and 1.35 through 2021 and early 2022. However, starting from late 2022, there was a noticeable upward shift in leverage, peaking near 1.54 in mid to late 2025 before slightly declining to around 1.46. This pattern suggests that the company increased its use of debt or other liabilities relative to equity, leading to higher leverage levels. While rising leverage can amplify returns, it also signifies increased financial risk.

- Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT)
- The EBIT values demonstrate significant volatility over the periods. Initially, EBIT rose sharply from $902 million in December 2020 to a peak of $3,028 million by June 2022. This upward trend was followed by a steep decline into negative territory, reaching a low of -$2,169 million by March 2023. After this trough, the EBIT figures recovered steadily, turning positive again by February 2024 and continuing to increase, reaching a new high of $6,143 million by November 2025. This pattern suggests a business cycle affected by external or operational challenges followed by robust recovery and growth.
- Interest Expense
- Interest expense values remained relatively stable with minor fluctuations. Starting at $48 million in December 2020, interest expense fluctuated slightly between $42 million and $55 million through March 2022. From December 2022 to August 2023, there was a gradual increase in interest expense, peaking at $150 million in May 2024. After this peak, interest expense showed a slight decline toward $74 million by November 2025. The variations appear moderate, without extreme volatility, indicating consistent debt servicing costs with some sensitivity to overall financing levels.
- Interest Coverage Ratio
- The interest coverage ratio exhibited pronounced variations reflective of EBIT performance dynamics. It improved consistently from 17.83x in December 2020 to a peak of 58.47x in June 2022, aligning with rising EBIT. However, a sharp decline followed as the EBIT turned negative, causing the interest coverage ratio to collapse into negative values between March 2023 and August 2023, reaching a low of -13.58x. From February 2024 onward, the ratio recovered progressively, passing into positive territory and growing steadily to 32.36x by November 2025. This trend indicates periods of financial strain with insufficient operating income to cover interest expenses, subsequently alleviated by improving profitability.
