Enterprise Value (EV)
The enterprise value exhibited substantial fluctuations over the analyzed periods. Initial growth was observed from US$76,138 million in early 2020 to a peak of US$106,727 million in early 2021. Following this peak, a significant decline occurred, reaching US$50,224 million in early 2023, before rebounding to US$99,381 million in early 2024. By early 2025, EV slightly decreased to US$90,018 million, indicating some volatility but overall an increase compared to the initial period.
Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)
EBITDA demonstrated a positive growth trend from US$8,814 million in early 2020 to US$12,016 million in early 2022, marking a strong operational performance improvement. However, it then declined sharply to US$7,603 million in early 2023, followed by a gradual recovery over the next two years, reaching US$9,565 million by early 2025. This pattern indicates variability in earnings generation with a notable dip during 2023.
EV/EBITDA Ratio
The EV/EBITDA ratio showed variability aligned with changes in enterprise value and EBITDA. It increased from 8.64 in early 2020 to a high of 9.32 in early 2021, followed by a substantial drop to 4.85 in early 2022, reflecting a relatively lower valuation compared to earnings at that time. The ratio then rose again to 6.61 in early 2023, peaked sharply at 11.43 in early 2024, and slightly decreased to 9.41 in early 2025. These fluctuations suggest varying market perceptions of value relative to earnings during the periods assessed.
Overall Insights
The data indicates a period marked by considerable volatility in market valuation and operational earnings. The enterprise value's rise and fall coupled with the EBITDA fluctuations suggest external and internal factors influencing financial performance. The EV/EBITDA ratio's variability highlights changing investor sentiment and valuation multiples over the span, with notable overvaluation suggested at the 2024 peak. Recovery trends in EBITDA post-2023 may signal improving operational efficiencies or market conditions.
