The annual financial data reveals notable trends in net income, stockholders’ equity, and return on equity (ROE) over the reported periods.
- Net Income
- Net income exhibits an overall increasing trend from 2005 to 2025, with some fluctuations. It starts at 12,254 million USD in 2005, reaching peaks above 60,000 million USD by 2021 and continuing to rise, ultimately surpassing 100,000 million USD by 2025. Notably, there is a decrease in net income observed in the period around 2011 to 2014, where figures drop significantly compared to the peak in 2011. Following this dip, net income resumes growth, marked by a substantial increase from 2018 onwards, reflecting strong profitability gains in the later years.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Stockholders’ equity shows steady growth over the time span, starting at approximately 48,115 million USD in 2005 and increasing consistently every year to exceed 340,000 million USD by 2025. The increase is generally smooth with minor slowdowns around 2014-2016, but overall the trend suggests robust capital accumulation and strengthening financial position.
- Return on Equity (ROE)
- ROE, expressed as a percentage, depicts considerable variability across the years. It begins at 25.47% in 2005, rising markedly to peak levels above 45% in 2007 and 2008. After reaching such peaks, ROE declines sharply around 2011 and hits its lowest value of 15.23% in 2014. From 2014 onward, ROE recovers again to levels in the 30-40% range, although it shows a gradual downward trend in the latest years, ending at 29.65% in 2025. The early volatility and subsequent stabilization indicate shifts in profitability efficiency relative to shareholder equity over the analyzed period.
