- Debt to Equity Ratio
- The debt to equity ratio exhibits a general downward trend over the reported periods. Starting at 0.6 in April 2019, it fluctuates slightly, peaking around 0.86 in April 2022, before steadily decreasing to 0.33 by July 2025. This indicates a gradual reduction in reliance on debt financing relative to equity over time, despite temporary increases in early 2022.
- Debt to Equity Ratio (Including Operating Lease Liability)
- When including operating lease liabilities, the debt to equity ratio follows a similar but consistently higher pattern compared to the standard debt to equity ratio. It starts at 0.75 in April 2019, peaks notably at 0.92 in April 2022, then decreases generally to stabilize around 0.4 by late 2024, with a slight increase towards 0.41 by July 2025. This suggests that operating leases contribute meaningfully to the total financial leverage, especially during the 2021–2022 period.
- Debt to Capital Ratio
- The debt to capital ratio shows a modest declining trend from 0.37 in April 2019 to approximately 0.25 around mid-2025. There is an observable spike in April 2022 at 0.46, which correlates with the peaks seen in debt to equity metrics, indicating a temporary increase in debt relative to total capital during that period followed by normalization.
- Debt to Capital Ratio (Including Operating Lease Liability)
- This ratio mirrors the behavior of the debt to capital ratio but with higher values due to inclusion of lease liabilities. Starting at 0.43 in April 2019, it peaks at 0.48 in April 2022 before declining steadily to about 0.29 in July 2025. This pattern reiterates the enhanced leverage effect attributable to operating leases, significant especially around early 2022.
- Debt to Assets Ratio
- The debt to assets ratio remains relatively stable, oscillating around 0.2 during most quarters before rising sharply to 0.32 in April 2022. After this spike, it descends to approximately 0.17 toward mid-2025. This pattern suggests a temporary increase in leverage relative to total assets during early 2022, followed by a strengthening balance sheet.
- Debt to Assets Ratio (Including Operating Lease Liability)
- Including operating lease liabilities, this ratio is higher and ranges between 0.26 at the beginning of the dataset and peaks at 0.34 in April 2022. It decreases subsequently to approximately 0.21 by July 2025. This again highlights the impact of lease commitments on overall leverage, with elevated financial obligations during the early 2022 timeframe.
- Financial Leverage
- Financial leverage exhibits a gradual decreasing trajectory throughout the period. Starting at 2.85 in April 2019, the ratio declines with some fluctuations, reaching as low as around 1.9 by late 2024. A slight increase is observed just before 2025 at 1.96. This indicates that the company has been progressively lowering its reliance on borrowed funds in relation to equity, potentially reflecting a strategy towards a more conservative capital structure.

1 Q2 2026 Calculation
Debt to equity = Total debt ÷ Stockholders’ equity
= 2,985 ÷ 9,172 = 0.33
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The financial data reveals several notable patterns and trends over the observed periods.
- Total Debt
- Total debt initially exhibited a gradual increase from April 2019 through January 2021, moving from 1,219 million USD to about 1,795 million USD. From April 2021 to January 2022, total debt stabilized around the 1,840-1,865 million USD range. However, a significant spike occurred in April 2022, when the debt abruptly rose to approximately 4,121 million USD, more than doubling from the prior level. Following this peak, total debt decreased notably in October 2022 to 2,975 million USD and then plateaued near 2,980 million USD through to January 2025, showing a consolidated level that is still well above pre-April 2022 values.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Stockholders’ equity presented a consistently upward trajectory across all periods. Starting from about 2,045 million USD in April 2019, equity increased steadily quarter over quarter, reaching approximately 9,172 million USD by July 2025. This increment reflects ongoing growth and capital accumulation, with no evident periods of decline or stagnation. The increase appears relatively smooth and persistent, indicating solid equity base expansion over the span of six years.
- Debt to Equity Ratio
- The debt to equity ratio initially decreased modestly from 0.60 in April 2019 to 0.41 by January 2022, suggesting improved leverage management and a growing equity base compared to debt. However, coinciding with the surge in total debt in April 2022, the ratio sharply increased to 0.86, indicating a temporary heavier reliance on debt financing relative to equity. Thereafter, the ratio resumed a downward trend, steadily decreasing to approximately 0.33 by July 2025, reflecting strengthening equity and controlled debt levels.
Overall, the data indicates a company that experienced a significant, yet transient, increase in debt around early 2022, followed by a reduction and stabilization at a higher level than previous years. Equity demonstrated robust growth throughout the entire period. The leverage ratio fluctuated in response to these changes, ultimately trending downward, suggesting improving financial structure and reduced relative indebtedness in the latter periods.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several noteworthy trends in the company's capital structure and leverage over the examined period.
- Total debt (including operating lease liability)
- The total debt showed a generally increasing trend from April 2019 through January 2020, rising gradually from 1,529 million US dollars to 2,238 million US dollars. A significant jump occurred between April 2020 and April 2022, where debt doubled from approximately 2,100 million to 4,384 million US dollars, indicating increased borrowing or lease obligations during this timeframe. Following this peak, debt levels declined sharply to around 3,249 million US dollars by January 2023. Afterward, total debt stabilized in the range of approximately 3,255 million to 3,776 million US dollars through mid-2025, showing minor fluctuations but no strong upward or downward trend.
- Stockholders’ equity
- Stockholders’ equity has demonstrated a consistent and steady increase across the entire period, starting at 2,045 million US dollars in April 2019 and reaching 9,172 million US dollars by July 2025. The growth appears mostly linear with some acceleration in recent years, particularly from April 2023 onward, where equity rose from about 6,625 million to over 9,000 million US dollars. This upward trajectory suggests the company has been retaining earnings, issuing new equity, or both, contributing to a strengthening capital base.
- Debt to equity ratio (including operating lease liability)
- The debt to equity ratio showed a declining trend from 0.75 in April 2019 to 0.46 by January 2022, illustrating a gradual reduction in financial leverage relative to the equity base during this phase. However, between January 2022 and April 2022, the ratio jumped sharply to 0.92, reflecting the period when total debt notably increased while equity growth was relatively slower. Following this spike, the leverage ratio resumed a decreasing pattern from 0.92 in April 2022 down to about 0.37 in January 2025, reaching its lowest levels in the dataset. A slight rebound to 0.41 is seen in mid-2025 but the ratio remains near this low point, suggesting the company is operating with comparatively lower leverage and a stronger equity position in recent quarters.
In summary, the company experienced periods of increased borrowing and leverage particularly around 2020 to 2022, coinciding with a peak in total debt and a temporary rise in the debt to equity ratio. Nevertheless, equity growth has been robust and continuous, leading to an overall reduction in leverage post-2022. The capital structure appears to be strengthening with lower relative debt levels and solid equity accumulation towards the most recent quarters.

1 Q2 2026 Calculation
Debt to capital = Total debt ÷ Total capital
= 2,985 ÷ 12,157 = 0.25
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The analysis of the available quarterly financial data reveals several notable trends and developments over the period observed.
- Total Debt
- Total debt exhibits a generally upward trend from April 2019 through the first quarter of 2025, with fluctuations around certain periods. Starting at $1,219 million in April 2019, debt increased steadily, reaching a peak of $4,123 million in July 2022. After this peak, there is a notable decline to $2,975 million in October 2022, followed by a period of relative stability around that level through early 2023. From mid-2023 onwards, total debt remains fairly constant, hovering close to $2,980 million through early 2025.
- Total Capital
- Total capital shows a continuous upward trajectory over the examined timeframe. Beginning at $3,264 million in April 2019, it rises steadily with some accelerated growth phases, reaching $9,251 million by July 2022. Following a slight dip to $8,384 million in October 2022, the total capital increases again mid-2023 and continues to ascend, peaking at $12,157 million in July 2025. This consistent rise indicates expanding financial resources or equity base alongside debt movements.
- Debt to Capital Ratio
- The debt to capital ratio starts at 0.37 in April 2019 and trends downward across the periods with some intermittent increases. Initially, the ratio declines from 0.37 to a low near 0.29 by January 2022, suggesting a reduction in leverage relative to capital. A sharp rise to 0.46 occurs in April 2022 coinciding with the peak total debt value, indicating increased leverage at that time. After this peak, the ratio declines steadily and consistently, dropping to approximately 0.25 by early 2025. This decline implies deleveraging or strengthening of the capital base relative to debt.
Overall, the financial data indicate a temporary spike in debt levels around mid-2022, which impacted the debt to capital ratio substantially. However, following that period, debt levels reduced and stabilized while total capital expanded robustly, driving a gradual improvement in the leverage position over subsequent quarters. The declining debt to capital ratio toward the end of the period suggests a strategic focus on strengthening financial stability through capital growth and controlled debt management.

= 3,776 ÷ 12,948 = 0.29
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total Debt (including operating lease liability)
- The total debt demonstrated an overall upward trend from April 2019 through July 2025, beginning at 1,529 million USD and increasing to 3,776 million USD by the final period. Periodic fluctuations were observed, particularly a notable surge from 2,103 million USD in April 2022 to 4,384 million USD in the subsequent quarter. After this spike, the total debt stabilized around the 3,200–3,300 million USD range for several quarters before increasing steadily again towards the end of the timeline.
- Total Capital (including operating lease liability)
- Total capital exhibited consistent growth from 3,574 million USD in April 2019 to 12,948 million USD by July 2025. The increase accelerated notably between January 2022 and April 2022, reflecting a jump from 6,638 million USD to 9,165 million USD. Following this rise, capital continued to grow steadily, indicating an expanding capital base much faster than the growth in total debt.
- Debt to Capital Ratio (including operating lease liability)
- The debt to capital ratio reflected a declining trend over the analyzed period, starting at 0.43 in April 2019 and falling to as low as 0.27 by April 2025, with some minor fluctuations. This decline indicates an improvement in the company’s capital structure, showing that debt is becoming a smaller proportion of total capital. A temporary increase in the ratio around early 2022 coincides with the spike in total debt, but the ratio resumed its downward trajectory shortly thereafter.
- Summary)
- The data suggests strategic financial management characterized by growth in capital exceeding growth in debt over time. Despite increases in absolute debt levels, the proportional reliance on debt financing decreased, pointing to an improved leverage position. This enhanced capital structure may provide greater financial flexibility and reduced risk.

1 Q2 2026 Calculation
Debt to assets = Total debt ÷ Total assets
= 2,985 ÷ 17,961 = 0.17
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total Debt
- The total debt experienced a gradual increase from April 2019, starting at approximately $1.22 billion, until early 2021 where it stabilized around $1.84 billion. In April 2022, total debt sharply surged to about $4.12 billion, followed by a notable decrease to $2.98 billion by October 2022. From this point onward through April 2025, the total debt remained relatively stable, fluctuating minimally around the $2.98 billion to $2.99 billion range.
- Total Assets
- Total assets showed consistent growth over the entire period. Beginning at $5.82 billion in April 2019, assets steadily increased with some fluctuations, reaching approximately $13.25 billion by July 2022. Despite a slight decline in October 2022 to around $12.39 billion, assets then resumed growth, peaking at approximately $17.98 billion by April 2025. Overall, the asset base expanded significantly, nearly tripling over the six-year span.
- Debt to Assets Ratio
- The debt to assets ratio started near 0.21 in April 2019 and trended downward gradually to about 0.18 by January 2022. A sharp increase to approximately 0.32 was observed in April 2022, coinciding with the spike in total debt. Following that peak, the ratio steadily decreased again, reaching about 0.17 by April 2025. This indicates improved leverage management after the brief increase in 2022, with the company reducing its relative debt burden against its growing asset base.
- Overall Analysis
- Over the analyzed period, total assets reflected strong upward momentum, suggesting consistent investment or operational expansion. The total debt line shows a significant temporary increase in early 2022, which was subsequently reduced and stabilized at a higher level than initial years. The debt to asset ratio movements largely mirror the fluctuations in total debt with respect to asset growth, indicating periods of increased leverage followed by consolidation and deleveraging. The overall financial posture suggests a strategic management of liabilities relative to asset growth, particularly evident after mid-2022.

1 Q2 2026 Calculation
Debt to assets (including operating lease liability) = Total debt (including operating lease liability) ÷ Total assets
= 3,776 ÷ 17,961 = 0.21
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals notable trends in the company's debt levels, asset base, and leverage ratios over the examined period.
- Total Debt (including operating lease liability)
-
The total debt initially shows a moderate increase, rising from 1,529 million USD in April 2019 to a peak of 2,238 million USD by January 2021. Subsequently, this debt value decreases significantly to 2,103 million USD by April 2022, indicating a period of debt reduction. However, there is a pronounced surge in total debt to 4,384 million USD in April 2022, which then declines substantially to approximately 3,249 million USD by January 2023. Following this, the total debt exhibits a gradual upward trend again, reaching 3,776 million USD by July 2025.
- Total Assets
-
The total assets consistently increased throughout the period, starting at 5,824 million USD in April 2019 and experiencing steady growth to 8,718 million USD by January 2021. Despite a slight drop in April 2022 to 12,390 million USD from a high at the start of that year, the overall direction is an upward trajectory. Assets reach their highest levels in the later periods, peaking at 17,961 million USD in July 2025, reflecting expansion and accumulation of resources.
- Debt to Assets Ratio (including operating lease liability)
-
The debt to assets ratio fluctuates moderately, beginning at approximately 0.26 in April 2019 and declining to a low of 0.20 by January 2022, which signals an improved asset base relative to debt during this phase. A sudden elevation to 0.34 in April 2022 corresponds with the sharp rise in total debt, causing a temporary increase in leverage. Post this spike, the ratio decreases steadily, stabilizing around the 0.20 to 0.21 range by mid-2025, indicative of a relatively lower leverage position compared to earlier years despite the increased nominal debt.
Overall, the company's financial position demonstrates a strategic maneuvering of debt and asset growth. The significant fluctuations in debt and debt-to-assets ratio around the early 2022 period suggest either major financing activities or restructuring events. Despite the volatility in debt levels, the ongoing asset growth and a generally declining leverage ratio over the long term exhibit strengthening financial stability and capacity to manage obligations effectively.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data over the observed periods reveals several notable trends in the key financial metrics.
- Total assets
- The total assets demonstrate a general upward trajectory from April 2019 through April 2024. Starting at approximately 5.8 billion USD, total assets increase steadily, reaching a peak around 16.5 billion USD by January 2024. Some fluctuations are observed between April 2022 and October 2022, where assets slightly decrease before resuming their growth trend. The most recent data points from January 2025 to July 2025 show minor declines but remain close to the high levels established earlier in 2024.
- Stockholders’ equity
- Stockholders’ equity follows a consistent growth pattern over the same period, rising from about 2.0 billion USD in April 2019 to over 8 billion USD by January 2024. This indicates a strengthening equity base with sustained increases each quarter. There is a steady upward trend without significant retreats, suggesting ongoing profitability or capital contributions boosting equity. The equity balance from January 2025 to July 2025 shows slight moderation but maintains levels close to the recent maximums.
- Financial leverage
- Financial leverage, calculated as the ratio of total assets to stockholders’ equity, exhibits a downward trend over time. It starts relatively high at 2.85 times in April 2019, indicating greater reliance on debt or liabilities relative to equity. By 2024, leverage declines steadily to levels around 2.0 and slightly below, implying reduced financial risk and an improved equity cushion supporting asset growth. Minor fluctuations are present but the overall direction favors decreasing leverage, enhancing the company’s financial stability over these periods.
Overall, the data suggest an expansion in asset base supported by proportional growth in stockholders’ equity, leading to a healthier capital structure characterized by lower financial leverage. The company appears to manage its growth with increasing equity reliance, which may reflect effective earnings retention, capital raising, or cautious borrowing policies to reduce financial risk while expanding operations.
