3 2021 Calculation
Common equity (market value) = Share price × No. shares of common stock outstanding
= 163.64 × 571,100,000


Between 2017 and 2021, a consistent downward trend is observed in the enterprise value (EV), which decreased from 142,683 million US$ to 106,224 million US$. This represents a total contraction of approximately 25.5% over the five-year period. While a temporary increase occurred in 2020, the overall trajectory indicates a significant reduction in the total market valuation of the firm's operations.

Market Value of Common Equity
The market capitalization exhibits a trajectory nearly identical to the enterprise value, declining from 132,731 million US$ in 2017 to 93,455 million US$ in 2021. The volatility is characterized by a sharp decline through 2019, a partial recovery in 2020, and a subsequent return to lower levels by the end of 2021.
Correlation Between Market and Book Value
A high degree of alignment is observed between the market value of common equity and total equity. These two metrics remained closely correlated throughout the analyzed period, indicating that the market valuation was heavily influenced by the accounting book value of the equity.
Aggregate Capital and Debt Trends
Total equity and debt followed a similar downward pattern, moving from 146,812 million US$ in 2017 to 110,989 million US$ in 2021. The spike observed in 2020 suggests a temporary expansion in the capital base or debt obligations, which mirrored the brief rise in overall enterprise value before the trend reversed in 2021.
