Invested capital experienced a gradual increase from about $6.55 billion in 2018 to nearly $8.76 billion in 2022. The growth appears steady without any significant fluctuations, suggesting stable capital investment over the period. The most notable increase occurred between 2020 and 2021, showing accelerated investment activity during these years.
Market value added (MVA)

Starting at roughly $21.10 billion in 2018, MVA increased steadily, aside from a dip in 2020, ultimately reaching approximately $44.97 billion in 2022. This increase signifies improved wealth creation for shareholders, as the market values have risen faster than the capital invested.
