A comprehensive analysis of solvency ratios reveals a two-phase financial trajectory characterized by a prolonged period of deleveraging followed by a significant increase in debt obligations starting in early 2026.

Debt-to-Equity and Capitalization Trends
From March 2022 through December 2025, a consistent downward trend is observed across all primary leverage metrics. The debt-to-equity ratio declined steadily from 0.39 to a low of 0.12, while the debt-to-capital ratio followed a similar trajectory, decreasing from 0.28 to 0.10. This indicates a systematic reduction in reliance on borrowed funds relative to shareholder equity and total capital during this period. However, this trend reversed sharply in the first quarter of 2026, where the debt-to-equity ratio spiked to 0.60 and the debt-to-capital ratio rose to 0.38, suggesting a substantial new incurrence of debt.
Asset-Based Solvency and Operating Leases
The debt-to-assets ratio mirrored the broader deleveraging trend, falling from 0.14 in March 2022 to 0.06 by December 2025, before increasing to 0.24 in 2026. When operating lease liabilities are included, the ratios remain consistently higher but follow the same pattern of decline and subsequent sharp increase. For instance, the debt-to-assets ratio including leases decreased from 0.20 to 0.09 before rising to 0.27 in March 2026. This suggests that while lease obligations contribute to the overall leverage profile, they are not the primary driver of the volatility seen in 2026.
Financial Leverage and Interest Coverage
Financial leverage showed a general contraction from 2.75 in March 2022 to a minimum of 1.93 in September 2025, reflecting an improved solvency position. This metric increased back to 2.53 in March 2026, coinciding with the rise in debt ratios. Regarding the ability to service these obligations, the interest coverage ratio was exceptionally high in September 2025 at 364.83, but experienced a precipitous decline to 21.63 by September 2026. While a ratio of 21.63 still indicates a strong capacity to meet interest payments, the rapid descent highlights a significant increase in interest expenses or a relative decrease in earnings following the 2026 capital structure shift.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.


The solvency profile demonstrates a prolonged period of deleveraging and capital strengthening from early 2022 through early 2026, followed by a significant structural shift in the debt composition during the second quarter of 2026.

Debt to Equity Ratio Trajectory
A consistent downward trend is observed in the debt to equity ratio from March 31, 2022, to December 31, 2025, falling from 0.39 to a low of 0.12. This indicates a systematic reduction in financial leverage and an increasing reliance on equity to fund operations. However, this trend reversed sharply in June 2026, where the ratio spiked to 0.60 before stabilizing slightly at 0.57 by September 30, 2026.
Equity Growth and Stability
Stockholders' equity exhibited robust and nearly continuous growth for the majority of the analyzed period, increasing from 3,997 million US$ in March 2022 to a peak of 12,964 million US$ in December 2025. Despite a temporary contraction to 11,728 million US$ in March 2026, the equity base recovered and continued to climb, reaching 13,096 million US$ by the end of the period.
Total Debt Dynamics
Total debt remained remarkably stable and showed a slight overall decline between March 2022 and March 2026, moving from 1,572 million US$ to 1,491 million US$. This stability was interrupted in June 2026 by a substantial increase in borrowing, with total debt jumping to 7,517 million US$, representing a five-fold increase in total liabilities within a single quarter.
Solvency Interpretation
The period between 2022 and 2025 was characterized by improving solvency and a conservative capital structure. The abrupt increase in debt in mid-2026 shifted the financial position toward higher leverage, although the ratio remained below 1.0, suggesting that equity still exceeds total debt despite the significant increase in liabilities.

The solvency profile exhibited a sustained period of deleveraging from the first quarter of 2022 through the end of 2025, followed by a significant increase in leverage during the second and third quarters of 2026.

Total Debt Trends
Between March 2022 and March 2026, total debt, inclusive of operating lease liabilities, remained relatively stable, fluctuating within a narrow range between approximately 2.1 billion and 2.4 billion USD. However, a substantial increase occurred in June 2026, where debt rose sharply to 8.45 billion USD, remaining at a similar elevated level of 8.41 billion USD by September 2026.
Stockholders' Equity Growth
Stockholders' equity demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory for the majority of the analyzed period. Starting at 3.99 billion USD in March 2022, equity grew steadily to a peak of 12.96 billion USD by December 2025. Despite a slight contraction to 11.72 billion USD in March 2026, the growth trend resumed, reaching 13.09 billion USD by September 2026.
Debt to Equity Ratio Analysis
The debt-to-equity ratio showed a continuous decline from 0.55 in March 2022 to a low of 0.19 in December 2025, indicating a strengthening balance sheet and a reduced reliance on external financing relative to equity. This trend reversed abruptly in June 2026, as the ratio spiked to 0.68 and subsequently settled at 0.64 by September 2026. This sharp increase indicates a significant shift in the capital structure, moving the leverage position to its highest point since the beginning of the analyzed period.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.


An analysis of the solvency profile from March 2022 through September 2026 reveals a prolonged period of deleveraging followed by a significant shift in the capital structure during the second quarter of 2026.

Debt to Capital Ratio Trajectory
Between March 2022 and December 2025, the debt to capital ratio exhibited a consistent downward trend, declining from 0.28 to a low of 0.10. This steady decrease indicates a strengthening solvency position as the company reduced its reliance on debt relative to its total capital base.
Total Debt Dynamics
Total debt remained remarkably stable for nearly four years, fluctuating minimally around the $1.49 billion level from March 2022 through March 2026. A sharp inflection point occurred in June 2026, where total debt increased abruptly to $7.517 billion, marking a substantial expansion of the company's liabilities.
Total Capital Expansion
Total capital showed sustained growth from $5.569 billion in March 2022 to $14.455 billion in December 2025. Despite a slight contraction in March 2026, total capital rose sharply to $20.620 billion by September 2026, a growth trajectory heavily influenced by the surge in total debt during the same period.
Capital Structure Shift
The abrupt increase in debt in June 2026 resulted in the debt to capital ratio spiking to 0.38, the highest level observed in the data set. While the ratio moderated slightly to 0.36 by September 2026, the overall financial posture transitioned from a conservative, low-leverage state to a more leveraged capital structure.

= 8,415 ÷ 21,511 = 0.39

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.


The solvency profile of the organization exhibited two distinct phases between March 2022 and September 2026: a prolonged period of deleveraging followed by a sudden, significant increase in leverage. For the majority of the observed period, the debt-to-capital ratio declined steadily, indicating a strengthening capital structure and a reduced reliance on borrowed funds relative to total capital.

Debt to Capital Ratio Trend
The ratio demonstrated a consistent downward trajectory from 0.36 in March 2022 to a period low of 0.16 in December 2025. This decline suggests a strategic shift toward equity-based funding or significant retained earnings growth. However, this trend reversed abruptly in June 2026, with the ratio spiking to 0.40, before adjusting slightly to 0.39 by September 2026.
Total Debt Dynamics
Total debt, including operating lease liabilities, remained relatively stable from March 2022 through March 2026, fluctuating within a narrow band between 2.1 billion and 2.4 billion US dollars. A substantial escalation occurred in the second quarter of 2026, where debt surged to 8.45 billion US dollars, representing a more than threefold increase compared to the preceding quarter.
Total Capital Expansion
Total capital showed steady growth, increasing from 6.2 billion US dollars in March 2022 to 14.1 billion US dollars by March 2026. Parallel to the surge in debt, total capital jumped to 20.9 billion US dollars in June 2026 and reached 21.5 billion US dollars by September 2026.

The evidence indicates that while the organization successfully optimized its solvency ratio for over four years, the massive influx of debt in mid-2026 fundamentally altered the capital structure. The resulting ratio of 0.39 in September 2026 exceeds the initial 0.36 ratio recorded in March 2022, marking a return to a higher leverage position.

= 7,524 ÷ 31,830 = 0.24

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.


The financial trajectory from March 31, 2022, through September 30, 2026, is characterized by a prolonged period of strengthening solvency followed by a sudden and significant increase in leverage in the second quarter of 2026.

Total Debt Evolution
Debt levels remained remarkably stable for the majority of the observed period. From March 31, 2022, to March 31, 2026, total debt fluctuated minimally, moving from 1,572 million USD to 1,491 million USD. However, a substantial shift occurred on June 30, 2026, where debt escalated sharply to 7,517 million USD, eventually reaching 7,524 million USD by September 30, 2026.
Total Asset Growth
A consistent upward trend in total assets is evident throughout the timeframe. Assets grew from 10,993 million USD in March 2022 to 31,830 million USD by September 2026. This represents a sustained expansion of the balance sheet, with significant increases noted in December 2022, December 2023, and June 2026.
Debt to Assets Ratio Analysis
The debt to assets ratio experienced a steady decline from 0.14 in March 2022 to a low of 0.06 by December 2025 and March 2026. This decompression was driven by the combination of stagnant debt levels and aggressive asset growth, indicating a period of decreasing financial risk. This trend reversed abruptly in June 2026, when the ratio spiked to 0.24, mirroring the surge in total debt. The ratio remained constant at 0.24 through September 30, 2026, reflecting a higher proportion of assets financed through debt compared to previous years.

Debt to assets (including operating lease liability) = Total debt (including operating lease liability) ÷ Total assets
= 8,415 ÷ 31,830 = 0.26

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.


The solvency profile of the company exhibited a consistent trend of improvement from March 2022 through December 2025, followed by a significant increase in leverage during the second quarter of 2026. For the majority of the analyzed period, a strong inverse relationship existed between a stable debt load and a rapidly expanding asset base, which systematically lowered the company's financial risk.

Debt to Assets Ratio Trend
The ratio demonstrated a steady decline from 0.20 in March 2022 to a period low of 0.09 by December 2025. This downward trajectory indicates a strengthening solvency position and a reduction in the proportion of assets financed through debt. However, this trend reversed sharply in June 2026, where the ratio spiked to 0.27, representing the highest level of leverage recorded in the dataset, before stabilizing slightly at 0.26 in September 2026.
Asset Growth Analysis
Total assets grew substantially and consistently throughout the period, increasing from 10,993 million US$ in March 2022 to 31,830 million US$ by September 2026. This growth occurred in several phases, with a notable acceleration between December 2025 and June 2026, where assets rose from 26,038 million US$ to 31,666 million US$, providing a larger capital base to support operational liabilities.
Debt Obligations and Leverage Shifts
Total debt, including operating lease liabilities, remained remarkably stable for over four years, fluctuating narrowly between 2,125 million US$ and 2,431 million US$ from March 2022 to March 2026. A critical shift occurred in June 2026, when total debt increased abruptly to 8,453 million US$. This sudden surge of approximately 6,000 million US$ in a single quarter fundamentally altered the solvency structure, shifting the company from a position of minimal leverage to a more debt-heavy capital structure.

1 Q3 2026 Calculation
Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Stockholders’ equity
= 31,830 ÷ 13,096 = 2.43

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.


The balance sheet exhibits significant expansion over the analyzed period, characterized by a substantial increase in both total assets and stockholders' equity. Total assets grew from 10,993 million USD in March 2022 to 31,830 million USD by September 2026, representing a nearly threefold increase. Concurrently, stockholders' equity rose from 3,997 million USD to 13,096 million USD, indicating a consistent strengthening of the company's net worth.

Financial Leverage Trend
The financial leverage ratio demonstrates a general downward trajectory for the majority of the period, decreasing from a peak of 2.75 in March 2022 to a low of 1.93 in September 2025. This long-term decline suggests a systematic reduction in the reliance on debt relative to equity to finance asset growth, effectively lowering the company's financial risk profile over several years.
Recent Leverage Volatility
A reversal in the leverage trend is observed starting in early 2026. The ratio climbed from 2.08 in March 2026 to a peak of 2.53 in June 2026, before moderating to 2.43 by September 2026. This spike corresponds with a sharp increase in total assets, which grew from 24,381 million USD in March 2026 to 31,666 million USD in June 2026, outstripping the growth rate of stockholders' equity during the same window.
Asset and Equity Correlation
While both assets and equity increased throughout the period, the relationship between them remained dynamic. The period between December 2023 and September 2025 was characterized by a steady convergence, where equity growth more closely matched asset expansion, leading to the lowest recorded leverage ratios. The subsequent divergence in 2026 indicates a shift in financing strategy or a significant capital investment phase funded more heavily by liabilities than by equity.

The operational profitability of the entity demonstrates a consistent growth trajectory over the analyzed period. Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) increased from 85 million US dollars in the first quarter of 2022 to a peak of 700 million US dollars in the third quarter of 2025, before stabilizing at 451 million US dollars by the third quarter of 2026.

Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT)
A sustained upward trend in EBIT is observed from March 2022 through September 2025. Although there is observed volatility in the final quarters, the overall capacity to generate operating income has expanded significantly compared to the 2022 baseline.
Interest Expense
Interest costs were absent from the records for the majority of the period. A transition occurs in the third quarter of 2025 with the introduction of a 6 million US dollar expense, which escalates sharply to 81 million US dollars by the third quarter of 2026.
Interest Coverage Ratio
The interest coverage ratio reflects a significant contraction corresponding with the rise in interest expenses. The ratio stood at a robust 364.83 in September 2025, declined to approximately 100 between December 2025 and June 2026, and experienced a steep drop to 21.63 by September 2026. This trend indicates a reduction in the margin of safety available to meet interest obligations, despite the growth in EBIT.
