The financial data reveals several notable trends regarding the company's equity, total capital structure, and enterprise value over the six-year period.

Common Equity and Total Equity: Both common equity (market value) and total equity exhibit a general upward trend from 2019 through 2021, increasing sharply from approximately 96.6 billion USD in late 2019 to a peak of around 155.1 billion USD in late 2021. Following this peak, there is a decline observed in 2022 and 2023, with values decreasing to about 126.1 billion USD and 123.4 billion USD respectively. However, in 2024, equity values rebound significantly, reaching approximately 192.2 billion USD, marking the highest point in the observed timeframe.
Total Equity and Debt: The total equity and debt combined follow a similar pattern to equity alone but with slightly higher values, reflecting the incorporation of debt in the capital structure. Starting at roughly 112.6 billion USD in 2019, this figure climbs steadily to about 170.8 billion USD in 2021 before declining to 141.6 billion USD in 2022 and 138.8 billion USD in 2023. By 2024, total equity and debt recover notably to reach approximately 206.8 billion USD.
Enterprise Value (EV): Enterprise value shows a growth trajectory from 2019 to 2021, rising from approximately 100.3 billion USD to 158.4 billion USD. A subsequent decline occurs in 2022 and 2023, with EV reducing to about 135.2 billion USD and 127.5 billion USD respectively. In 2024, a strong recovery is evident as EV increases to approximately 193.5 billion USD, aligning with the rebound seen in equity measures.

Overall, the company's financial metrics indicate a period of expansion until 2021, followed by a downturn in 2022 and 2023, and a substantial recovery in 2024. The simultaneous movements in equity, total capital, and enterprise value suggest correlated shifts in market valuation and capital structure over the observed periods.
