The analysis of the quarterly financial ratios reveals distinct trends across the three key turnover metrics examined: net fixed asset turnover, total asset turnover, and equity turnover. Each ratio provides insight into the efficiency with which respective asset categories and equity are utilized to generate revenue.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover
- The net fixed asset turnover ratio exhibits a gradual decline over the observed period. Starting at 7.43 at the beginning of 2021, it increased slightly to reach a peak near 7.9 by mid-2022. Subsequently, it experienced a steady downward trend, falling to approximately 6.54 by the third quarter of 2025. This decline indicates a decreasing efficiency in using net fixed assets to generate sales, possibly due to growth in fixed asset base outpacing the growth in sales, or diminishing returns on these assets.
- Total Asset Turnover
- The total asset turnover ratio shows an overall improvement from 0.38 in the first quarter of 2021 to a range just above 0.5 by early 2025. There is a notable increase in asset utilization efficiency, particularly from mid-2021 to late 2022, where the ratio moves from 0.4 to 0.48–0.49. Despite minor fluctuations thereafter, the ratio stabilizes around 0.5, suggesting a moderately improved capacity to generate sales from total assets.
- Equity Turnover
- Equity turnover demonstrates significant volatility and a pronounced upward shift during the timeframe. Beginning at 1.14 in the first quarter of 2021, it progresses steadily to about 1.5 by the end of 2022. Between early 2023 and 2025, the ratio nearly doubles, peaking around 2.96 in the fourth quarter of 2024 before a slight decline. This sharp rise likely reflects enhanced revenue generation relative to equity or possible changes in equity structure, such as share buybacks or fluctuations in retained earnings affecting the denominator.
In summary, while efficiency in generating revenue from fixed assets tends to decline, the overall asset and equity utilization improve. The contrasting trends between net fixed asset turnover and total asset turnover may suggest shifts in asset mix or capital investments affecting fixed assets specifically. The strong rise in equity turnover points to increasing leverage or more aggressive use of equity capital to drive revenue growth in recent periods.

- Revenues
- Revenues exhibit a fluctuating pattern over the analyzed quarters. Starting around $11,073 million in the first quarter of 2021, revenues peaked at $11,985 million by the end of 2021, showing a gradual upward trend during this initial period. However, a noticeable dip occurred in the first quarter of 2022, with revenue dropping to approximately $11,648 million, followed by a recovery later in 2022 and early 2023. The most recent quarters indicate a general growth trend, with revenues reaching above $12,000 million in mid to late 2024 and early 2025, although some quarters within this timeframe show modest declines, suggesting periodic volatility.
- Property, plant and equipment (PP&E)
- The value of property, plant, and equipment demonstrates a steady increase throughout the entire period. Starting at $5,763 million in early 2021, PP&E assets show consistent growth, reaching approximately $7,349 million by the third quarter of 2025. This trend suggests ongoing investment in fixed assets or capital expenditure aimed at supporting or expanding operations.
- Net fixed asset turnover
- The net fixed asset turnover ratio, which measures the efficiency of using fixed assets to generate revenue, shows a declining trend over time. Beginning at 7.43 in early 2021, the ratio increases slightly to a high near 7.9 in mid-2022, indicating improved asset utilization during this period. However, since then, the ratio steadily decreases, falling to around 6.54 by the third quarter of 2025. This decline despite an increase in revenues and significant growth in PP&E suggests that asset growth is outpacing revenue growth, potentially implying diminishing marginal returns on fixed asset investments or a shift in operational efficiency.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several noteworthy trends and patterns over the observed periods.
- Revenues
- Revenues exhibit fluctuations throughout the periods without a definitive upward or downward trend. Starting at approximately $11,073 million in the first quarter of 2021, revenues increased to around $11,703 million by the second quarter of 2021, then experienced variations with some quarterly declines. Notably, there is a slight increase towards the end of 2023 and into 2024, reaching a peak of $12,342 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. However, subsequent quarters see moderate declines and variabilities, with revenues around $12,222 million in the third quarter of 2025. Overall, revenue shows moderate volatility but remains within a comparatively narrow band around $11,000 to $12,500 million.
- Total assets
- Total assets demonstrate a gradual declining trend over the observed quarters. From approximately $112,435 million in the first quarter of 2021, total assets decrease consistently across most quarters, reaching a low point near $92,427 million in the second quarter of 2025. A few slight recoveries can be observed, such as a moderate increase occurring in late 2023 and mid-2025, but the overall trajectory is downward. This suggests a reduction in the asset base over the analyzed timeframe.
- Total asset turnover
- The total asset turnover ratio shows a clear improving trend over time. Beginning at 0.38 in the first quarter of 2021, the ratio steadily increases to around 0.51 by the third quarter of 2024. This upward movement is indicative of improved efficiency in generating revenues from assets. Although slight fluctuations occur later, the ratio remains elevated relative to the initial quarters, with values around 0.50 recorded in the third quarter of 2025. This increase from 0.38 to approximately 0.50 reflects enhanced utilization of the asset base to produce sales.
In summary, while revenues remain relatively stable with moderate volatility, there is a noticeable decline in total assets over the period. Despite this shrinking asset base, the company’s asset turnover ratio improves significantly, suggesting a more efficient generation of revenue per unit of asset. These trends imply a strategic or operational improvement in utilizing assets to sustain revenue levels amid asset reductions.

- Revenue Trends
- The revenue exhibited moderate fluctuations over the reported periods, varying between approximately $10.9 billion and $12.3 billion. Initially, there was a slight upward movement from early 2021 through mid-2021, followed by a dip in the third quarter of 2022. Revenues rebounded in the trailing periods, reaching peaks in the first half of 2024, before showing a mild decline toward the end of 2025. Overall, revenues maintained relative stability, with mild cyclical variations rather than a clear long-term upward or downward trend.
- Shareholders’ Equity
- Total shareholders’ equity demonstrated a declining trend from early 2021 through late 2023, decreasing from about $37.6 billion to below $29 billion. A notable drop is observed moving into 2024, where equity values nearly halved, settling in the $16-18 billion range for the subsequent periods. Toward the end of 2025, equity displayed modest recovery but remained significantly lower than levels reported prior to 2024. This pronounced decrease may warrant further investigation into possible capital restructuring, asset revaluations, or significant distributions to shareholders during this timeframe.
- Equity Turnover Ratio
- The equity turnover ratio, reflecting the efficiency with which equity is used to generate revenues, showed a consistent increase across the entire duration. The ratio moved from approximately 1.14 in early 2021 to values exceeding 2.5 in 2025, peaking near 2.96 at the end of 2024. This indicates growing effectiveness in utilizing equity capital to produce revenue, especially pronounced following the decline in shareholders’ equity. The rising ratio aligns with the observed drop in equity and relatively stable revenue figures, suggesting enhanced operational efficiency or financial leverage.
- Summary Insights
- The interplay between stable revenues and a sharp reduction in shareholders’ equity led to a significant increase in equity turnover, highlighting increased capital productivity. While the revenue data reflects consistent business activity with some short-term variability, the equity dynamics suggest structural financial changes in the company’s capital base. The trends imply a shift in capital management strategy or significant balance sheet events that materially impacted equity without proportionate changes in revenue generation capacity.
