The financial data reveals several notable trends and developments over the five-year period.
- Common Equity (Market Value)
- The market value of common equity exhibited a significant upward trajectory from 2020 through 2022, rising from approximately $197 billion to over $308 billion. However, after reaching this peak, there was a decline in the subsequent years, with values dropping to roughly $287 billion in 2023 and further to approximately $276 billion in 2024. This suggests a period of growth followed by a gradual decrease in investor market valuation.
- Total Equity
- Total equity closely mirrors the trend observed in common equity, beginning around $198 billion in 2020 and increasing steadily to about $310 billion in 2022. Following this peak, total equity similarly declined to $288 billion in 2023 and $277 billion in 2024. The parallel movement between common equity and total equity indicates a consistent relationship between shareholders' ownership value and overall equity on the balance sheet.
- Total Equity and Debt
- The combined measure of total equity and debt shows growth from $242 billion in 2020 to around $333 billion in 2022, indicating an increase in the company’s leveraged capital base during this period. After 2022, the total equity and debt value decreased to about $308 billion in 2023 and further to $302 billion in 2024, which may point to a reduction in debt levels, equity, or both.
- Enterprise Value (EV)
- Enterprise value followed a comparable pattern to total equity and debt, growing from roughly $237 billion in 2020 to a peak near $315 billion in 2022. A decline followed, with EV decreasing to approximately $300 billion in 2023 and $295 billion in 2024. The decline in EV after 2022 aligns with the decreases seen in equity and equity plus debt, reflecting a contraction in the overall valuation of the company inclusive of debt.
Overall, the data documents a period of expansion in all monitored financial indicators up until the end of 2022, followed by a moderate contraction through 2024. This pattern might suggest a peak in market and book valuations alongside leveraged financing, followed by a phase of deleveraging or market revaluation. The correlation between equity, debt, and enterprise value highlights a consistent balance between the company’s capital structure and market valuation over the analyzed period.
