Equity and Market Value Trends
The common equity market value has exhibited a consistent and substantial increase over the five-year period. Starting from approximately 23.7 billion US dollars at the end of 2020, it rose to nearly 40.0 billion by the end of 2021, then to around 43.3 billion in 2022. The growth accelerated in the subsequent years, reaching approximately 83.0 billion in 2023 and 131.1 billion by the end of 2024. This represents more than a fivefold increase over the entire period.
Total Equity and Debt
Total equity, which in this case is equal to common equity, followed an identical growth pattern, indicating that there is likely negligible or no debt contribution in the capital structure. Both total equity and total equity plus debt values are identical, confirming this observation.
Enterprise Value (EV) Dynamics
The enterprise value also showed a significant upward trend, moving from about 20.9 billion US dollars at the end of 2020 to roughly 36.6 billion in 2021. Subsequent increases brought EV to approximately 40.3 billion in 2022, then a sharp rise to about 78.0 billion in 2023, and finally to around 122.8 billion at the end of 2024. The proportional growth of EV closely mirrors that of the equity market value, though enterprise value remains slightly lower in total amount throughout the period.
Overall Insights
These trends suggest robust growth in market capitalization and a strong equity base with minimal or no debt financing over the five years analyzed. The enterprise value’s growth trajectory indicates increased investor valuation, which may reflect positive market perception, expansion, or improved financial performance. The lack of divergence between total equity and total debt implies a conservative financial structure that relies heavily on equity financing.
