3 2022 Calculation
Common equity (market value) = Share price × No. shares of common stock outstanding
= 101.84 × 225,227,756


The financial data reveals significant volatility in the enterprise value and market equity of the organization between 2017 and 2022, characterized by a substantial expansion peaking in 2021 followed by a contraction in 2022.

Market Equity Trends
Common equity market value increased from US$ 13,864 million in 2017 to US$ 19,485 million in 2018. Following a sharp decline to US$ 13,026 million in 2020, the value reached a period peak of US$ 29,553 million in 2021, before adjusting downward to US$ 22,937 million in 2022.
Enterprise Value (EV) Analysis
The enterprise value exhibits a strong positive correlation with market equity, rising from US$ 11,308 million in 2017 to a high of US$ 25,436 million in 2021. A significant contraction is observed in 2020, where the EV dropped to US$ 12,068 million, reflecting the broader downward trend in market capitalization during that fiscal year.
Net Cash Position Insights
Throughout the entire period, the enterprise value remains consistently lower than the market value of common equity. This specific relationship indicates that the organization maintains a net cash position, where cash and cash equivalents exceed the total debt obligations, thereby reducing the overall cost to acquire the business relative to its equity value.
Debt and Leverage Patterns
Total equity and debt figures mirror the trajectory of equity, peaking at US$ 30,930 million in 2021. The marginal difference between total equity and the combined total of equity and debt suggests that the organization operates with relatively low leverage in proportion to its total capitalization.
