Net Income Trends
The net income shows fluctuations over the 20-year period. Starting at 12,254 million USD in 2005, it generally increased with notable exceptions. Peaks occur in 2008 (17,681 million USD) and 2019 (39,240 million USD). A significant decline is observed in 2011 (16,978 million USD) after a peak in 2010 (23,150 million USD). From 2019 onward, a robust growth trend is visible, reaching the highest value of 88,136 million USD in 2024.
Stockholders’ Equity Trends
Stockholders' equity exhibits a strong upward trajectory, despite some volatility. Starting at 48,115 million USD in 2005, it declines until 2007 (31,097 million USD), then steadily increases with occasional slowdowns, reaching 268,477 million USD in 2024. This substantial growth over two decades suggests consistent investment and retained earnings growth.
Return on Equity (ROE) Analysis
ROE demonstrates significant variability without a clear linear trend. It starts at 25.47% in 2005, peaks in 2008 at 48.73%, and experiences volatility throughout the period. Notable declines occur in 2012 (25.58%) and 2014 (24.59%), with intermittent recoveries. Despite fluctuations, ROE remains generally high, surpassing 30% in several years, and ends at 32.83% in 2024, indicating efficient profit generation relative to equity.
Overall Insights
The data reveals robust growth in equity and net income over the long term, although with periods of volatility. The rise in stockholders' equity aligns with the increased net income, suggesting strengthened financial stability and value creation. ROE variability reflects changing profitability dynamics but maintains a relatively strong position throughout, indicative of effective use of equity capital despite economic cycles or internal factors.
