Common equity (market value) = Share price × No. shares of common stock outstanding
= 167.91 × 651,200,000

The financial data shows a sustained upward trend across all key measures from July 31, 2019, through July 31, 2024.

Common Equity (Market Value): There is a continuous and significant increase in common equity over the six-year period. Starting from approximately $20.5 billion in 2019, it nearly doubled by 2021 to about $45.6 billion, and then showed further substantial growth, reaching approximately $109.3 billion by 2024. This reflects strong market confidence and growth in shareholder value.
Total Equity: Total equity values mirror the common equity figures exactly for all periods presented, indicating that common equity constitutes the entirety of equity reported, without other equity components such as preferred stock or minority interests.
Total Equity and Debt: This metric also follows a consistent upward trajectory, increasing from around $21.9 billion in 2019 to about $110.3 billion in 2024. The growth rate is broadly in line with that of total equity, suggesting that the company has potentially increased its equity base more so than its debt over the years.
Enterprise Value (EV): Enterprise value shows a similar pattern of growth, moving from approximately $19.1 billion in 2019 to around $107.7 billion in 2024. The close relationship between enterprise value and total equity and debt signifies stable leverage levels, with EV closely tracking the sum of equity and debt over the observed period.

Overall, the data indicates robust and consistent growth in market valuation and capital structure size. The parallel increase in equity and enterprise value points to sustained expansion and investor confidence. No data gaps or irregular fluctuations are evident, supporting the interpretation of steady financial strength and growth over the recent years.
