Common equity (market value) = Share price × No. shares of common stock outstanding
= 150.78 × 219,671,316


The financial trajectory of the Enterprise Value (EV) exhibits a distinct bell-shaped curve over the six-year period ending February 2, 2024. A sustained period of valuation growth occurred between 2019 and 2022, followed by a notable contraction in the subsequent two fiscal years.

Enterprise Value Growth Phase
Between February 1, 2019, and January 28, 2022, the Enterprise Value increased from US$ 33.11 billion to a peak of US$ 56.38 billion. This represents a significant expansion in the overall value of the business, closely mirroring the rise in common equity market value, which grew from US$ 30.49 billion to US$ 52.56 billion during the same interval.
Valuation Contraction Phase
Following the peak in early 2022, a downward trend is observed. The Enterprise Value declined to US$ 51.72 billion by February 3, 2023, and further decreased to US$ 39.58 billion by February 2, 2024. This contraction is primarily driven by a sharp reduction in the market value of common equity, which fell to US$ 33.12 billion by the end of the period.
Capital Structure and EV Correlation
A high degree of correlation exists between common equity, total equity and debt, and the resulting Enterprise Value. The narrow variance between total equity and debt (US$ 40.12 billion) and the Enterprise Value (US$ 39.58 billion) as of February 2, 2024, indicates that the enterprise valuation remains closely tied to the underlying equity market capitalization and debt obligations, with minimal divergence over the reporting periods.
