3 2024 Calculation
Common equity (market value) = Share price × No. shares of common stock outstanding
= 25.36 × 7,178,183,000


Common equity (market value)
The common equity market value exhibited a downward trend from 204,182 million USD in 2020 to 120,167 million USD in 2023, representing a significant decline over four years. However, in 2024, there was a notable recovery, with the value increasing to 182,039 million USD, indicating a potential restoration of market confidence or positive valuation adjustments.
Total equity
Total equity followed a similar trajectory to common equity market value, declining steadily from 221,749 million USD in 2020 to 134,312 million USD in 2023. In 2024, total equity increased substantially to 195,912 million USD. The parallel movements suggest that book equity and market equity were influenced by common underlying factors during this period.
Total equity and debt
The combined total of equity and debt experienced a general decline from 378,994 million USD in 2020 to 271,643 million USD in 2023. This decreased figure reflects a contraction in the company’s overall capital base. In 2024, an increase to 319,444 million USD indicates partial recovery or possible changes in financing strategy, such as increased debt or equity financing.
Enterprise value (EV)
Enterprise value mirrored the decline observed in other valuation measures, decreasing from 369,254 million USD in 2020 to 264,921 million USD in 2023. The subsequent rise to 316,146 million USD in 2024 aligns with improvements seen in total equity and common equity market values, reflecting an overall positive shift in the company's valuation and perceived market worth.
