3 2016 Calculation
Common equity (market value) = Share price × No. shares of common stock outstanding
= 172.70 × 225,020,523


The financial trajectory between March 31, 2011, and March 31, 2016, is characterized by a period of moderate growth followed by a substantial expansion and a subsequent contraction. The enterprise value (EV) demonstrates a strong positive correlation with the market value of common equity throughout the analyzed period, peaking in 2015 before experiencing a notable decline in 2016.

Enterprise Value Trends
Enterprise value exhibited steady growth from 2011 to 2013, rising from 21,278 million US$ to 27,034 million US$. A period of rapid acceleration occurred between 2013 and 2015, where EV increased by approximately 113%, reaching a peak of 57,740 million US$. This upward momentum reversed in 2016, with EV falling to 43,051 million US$, representing a decrease of approximately 25% from the previous year.
Equity Market Value and Total Equity
The market value of common equity closely mirrored the movements of total equity. From 2011 to 2013, values remained relatively stable, moving from 20,886 million US$ to 24,617 million US$. A significant surge is observed in 2014, where market value jumped to 41,089 million US$, further climbing to 53,153 million US$ in 2015. By March 31, 2016, a sharp contraction occurred, bringing the market value down to 38,861 million US$.
Capital Structure and Debt Integration
The total equity and debt figure shows a similar growth pattern to the enterprise value. There was a marked increase in the total capital base in 2014, rising from 29,490 million US$ to 53,604 million US$. This suggests a substantial expansion in the company's financing or asset base during that fiscal year. The highest total equity and debt level was recorded in 2015 at 63,081 million US$, before retreating to 47,099 million US$ in 2016.
Correlation Analysis
The data indicates that enterprise value was primarily driven by the market valuation of equity. The near-simultaneous peaks and troughs across common equity, total equity, and EV suggest that shifts in market sentiment or corporate valuation played a more dominant role in the fluctuations of the enterprise value than changes in debt levels alone.
