3 2017 Calculation
Common equity (market value) = Share price × No. shares of common stock outstanding
= 121.52 × 440,199,969


The financial valuation metrics from 2012 to 2017 exhibit a cyclical pattern characterized by initial growth, a significant contraction in 2015, and a subsequent recovery. The close correlation between the market value of common equity and the overall enterprise value suggests that equity fluctuations served as the primary driver of the company's total valuation throughout this period.

Market Value of Common Equity
Common equity experienced an initial increase from 47,414 million US$ in 2012 to a peak of 56,591 million US$ in 2013. A notable decline occurred between 2013 and 2015, with the value reaching a period low of 41,226 million US$. Following this trough, a consistent recovery trend is observed, with the value ascending to 53,493 million US$ by August 31, 2017.
Total Equity and Debt
The combined value of equity and debt followed a trajectory similar to market equity, rising from 49,691 million US$ in 2012 to a maximum of 62,103 million US$ in 2014. A sharp contraction was recorded in 2015, dropping to 50,285 million US$, before rebounding to 61,637 million US$ by the end of the analysis period.
Enterprise Value (EV) Trends
Enterprise value showed steady growth from 46,106 million US$ in 2012 to 59,696 million US$ in 2014. A significant correction took place in 2015, where the EV fell to 46,537 million US$, representing a decrease of approximately 22% from the previous year. By August 31, 2017, the enterprise value recovered to 59,773 million US$, effectively returning to 2014 levels.
