3 2025 Calculation
Common equity (market value) = Share price × No. shares of common stock outstanding
= 240.94 × 620,441,250


Common Equity (Market Value)
The market value of common equity exhibited a notable increase from 144.7 billion USD in 2020 to a peak of approximately 225.7 billion USD in 2024. This represents a significant growth over the five-year period. However, there was a considerable decline to about 149.5 billion USD in 2025, indicating a sharp reversal in market valuation towards the end of the timeframe.
Total Equity
Total equity followed a similar pattern to common equity, starting at around 145.2 billion USD in 2020 and rising steadily to 226.6 billion USD by 2024. Yet, like common equity, total equity experienced a substantial drop in 2025 to approximately 150.5 billion USD. This suggests that the company's net assets, as reported on the balance sheet, reflect the volatility observed in market value.
Total Equity and Debt
The combined total of equity and debt increased from 145.2 billion USD in 2020 to a high of 227.6 billion USD in 2024, indicating an overall expansion in the company’s capital structure over this period. In 2025, this total decreased to about 155.7 billion USD, mirroring the downward trend observed in equity components, possibly reflecting debt repayments, asset sales, or other capital structure adjustments.
Enterprise Value (EV)
Enterprise value showed growth from approximately 136.7 billion USD in 2020 to a maximum near 222.6 billion USD in 2024. This trend aligns with the increases seen in both market equity and total capital, supporting overall company value appreciation. However, EV declined sharply in 2025 to 144.2 billion USD, underscoring a significant contraction in the perceived total value of the company after accounting for debt and cash levels.
Summary of Trends
Across all key capital and valuation metrics, there was a consistent upward trajectory from 2020 through 2024, reflecting growth and expansionary trends. The year 2025 marked a notable reversal with significant reductions in market equity, total equity, combined capital, and enterprise value. This pattern suggests a period of volatility or restructuring that adversely affected the company’s financial positioning and market perception during the final year analyzed.
