Common equity (market value) = Share price × No. shares of common stock outstanding
= 282.47 × 63,783,651


The analysis of the annual financial data over the five-year period reveals significant growth and subsequent decline in key valuation metrics.

Common Equity (Market Value)
The common equity in market value demonstrated a strong upward trend between the end of 2017 and 2020, increasing from approximately $2.88 billion to about $20.94 billion. This represents a substantial compound growth over three years. However, in 2021, the common equity value contracted to approximately $18.02 billion, indicating a notable decrease after peak valuation.
Total Equity
Total equity mirrored the pattern observed in common equity, with a marked increase from roughly $2.88 billion in 2017 to $20.94 billion in 2020, followed by a decline to about $18.02 billion in 2021. The near-identical movement between common equity and total equity suggests consistency in equity components during this period.
Total Equity and Debt
The sum of equity and debt also showed robust growth from approximately $3.81 billion in 2017 to over $21.82 billion in 2020. This growth declined to nearly $19.0 billion by the end of 2021. The pattern indicates increasing leverage or capital investment leading up to 2020, with a contraction or pay-down in the subsequent year.
Enterprise Value (EV)
Enterprise value follows a similar trajectory, escalating from around $3.67 billion in 2017 to $21.17 billion in 2020, then dipping to $18.85 billion in 2021. This trend suggests the market's valuation of the company’s operational performance and capital structure strengthened until 2020 before reducing in the following year.

In summary, the data reflects a period of aggressive growth and expansion from 2017 through 2020, marked by substantial increases in equity and enterprise value. The year 2021, however, shows a reversal of this trend with notable decreases in all key financial measures, signaling potential market corrections, operational challenges, or strategic shifts impacting the company's valuation and capital structure.
