However, the latest figure for 2025 shows a substantial decline to 3,698 million USD. The pattern suggests periods of considerable fluctuation with a notable peak in 2024 before a pronounced drop in 2025.

The financial data reflects notable fluctuations across the periods from 2020 to 2025 in key indicators such as share price, free cash flow to equity (FCFE) per share, and the price to FCFE (P/FCFE) ratio.

Share Price
The share price exhibited an increasing trend initially, rising from $98.43 in 2020 to a peak of $159.74 in 2021. Subsequently, it declined significantly to $111.62 in 2022 and remained relatively stable through 2023. However, there was a sharp decrease in 2024 to $71.41, followed by a marginal increase to $72.98 in 2025. Overall, the share price shows volatility with a downward trend beginning in 2021.
FCFE per Share
The FCFE per share decreased steadily from $4.86 in 2020 to a low of $2.83 in 2022, suggesting a reduction in free cash flow availability for equity shareholders during this period. In 2023, it stabilized marginally at $2.85, followed by a rebound to $4.41 in 2024, possibly indicating an improvement in cash flow generation. However, a dramatic drop to $0.02 in 2025 signifies a significant decline in free cash flow, which may raise concerns regarding sustainability or operational issues.
P/FCFE Ratio
The P/FCFE ratio increased markedly from 20.27 in 2020 to a high of 44.23 in 2021, indicating that the share price growth outpaced free cash flow growth, suggesting possibly elevated market expectations or overvaluation. The ratio then gradually decreased over the next two years, falling to 16.18 in 2024, signaling improved valuation or increased free cash flow relative to share price. In 2025, this ratio escalated sharply to 3163.19, an extreme value reflecting the near-elimination of FCFE per share combined with a relatively stable share price, which may imply significant financial stress or market mispricing.
