The financial ratios exhibit notable trends over the analyzed periods. The leverage and debt-related ratios demonstrate a general decline in the firm's reliance on debt financing, while the interest coverage ratio reflects improving ability to service interest expenses, with some fluctuation in the latest periods.
- Debt to Equity Ratio
- The debt to equity ratio shows a gradual decrease throughout the timeline. Starting at 1.84, it remains relatively stable with minor fluctuations until late 2023, after which a more pronounced decline is observed, reaching 0.88 by the last period. This trend indicates a reduction in the company’s financial leverage relative to equity, suggesting improved balance sheet strength and potentially less risk borne by shareholders over time.
- Debt to Capital Ratio
- This metric remains fairly consistent in the early periods, hovering around 0.62 to 0.66. From early 2024 onward, it trends downward steadily, reaching 0.47 by the end of the timeline. The decline confirms a decrease in the proportion of debt in the company’s overall capital structure, reinforcing the insight that the company is deleveraging or relying more on equity and retained earnings.
- Debt to Assets Ratio
- The debt to assets ratio follows a similar downward pattern, albeit with smaller variability initially, consistently around 0.53 to 0.56. Beginning in early 2024, this ratio similarly declines to 0.39 by the final period, indicating that the proportion of total assets financed by debt is reducing, which could enhance asset security and reduce financial risk.
- Financial Leverage Ratio
- The financial leverage ratio starts relatively high at 3.32, fluctuating modestly but consistently decreasing around early 2024. It falls to 2.26 by the last observation period. This reduction in leverage suggests the company is becoming less reliant on borrowed funds relative to its equity base, within the context of overall asset financing.
- Interest Coverage Ratio
- The interest coverage ratio demonstrates significant improvement over the periods, rising from 2.5 in early 2020 to a peak above 10 in late 2023. This substantial increase implies that the company’s earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) have grown relative to interest obligations, enhancing its ability to cover interest expenses comfortably. However, from early 2024 onwards, the ratio declines again to around 3.94 before climbing moderately to 6.83, indicating some volatility in earnings or interest expenses but maintaining a reasonably healthy coverage capability.
In summary, the financial data suggest a strategic movement toward reduced leverage and greater financial stability, reflected in lower debt ratios and financial leverage. Simultaneously, the improvement in interest coverage ratio indicates an enhanced capacity to meet interest payments, although recent fluctuations warrant monitoring. The overall pattern underscores prudent financial management with emphasis on deleveraging and strengthening earnings resilience over the analyzed periods.

The analysis of the financial data reveals several notable trends and shifts in the capital structure over the examined quarters.
- Total Debt
- The total debt showed a general declining trend from early 2020 through late 2023, decreasing from approximately $44.7 billion to around $39.2 billion. This indicates a gradual reduction of liabilities during this period. However, beginning around early 2024, there is a marked increase in total debt, rising sharply to nearly $75.9 billion, before gradually decreasing again to approximately $64.2 billion by mid-2025. The sharp uptick suggests a significant borrowing event or debt restructuring occurred in early 2024.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Stockholders’ equity followed a relatively stable but slightly fluctuating pattern from early 2020 to late 2023, trending mostly between $20.9 billion and $24.9 billion. Initially, equity stayed near the mid-$24 billion range, then dipped to just over $20 billion around mid-2022, recovering slightly thereafter. Starting early 2024, there is a substantial jump in equity, rising steeply to about $70.3 billion and maintaining a high level near $73.3 billion by mid-2025. This surge suggests an infusion of capital or revaluation of equity components concurrent with the debt increase.
- Debt to Equity Ratio
- The debt to equity ratio exhibited a moderate downward trend from early 2020, beginning at approximately 1.84 and declining to around 1.59 by late 2021, implying an improvement in the balance between debt and equity. The ratio then fluctuated around 1.7 to 1.9 for the following year, reflecting some variability but remaining relatively elevated. A significant change occurs in early 2024 when the ratio drops steeply to about 1.08, followed by further decreases to around 0.88 by mid-2025. This rapid decline in the ratio aligns with the simultaneous sharp rises in both debt and equity, but the relative increase in equity appears more pronounced, improving the company's leverage position.
Overall, the financial data reveal a period of steady debt reduction and stable equity through 2023, followed by a substantial capital restructuring starting in early 2024 that significantly increases both debt and equity, but ultimately results in reduced leverage as evidenced by the declining debt to equity ratio. This may indicate strategic financing actions to strengthen the company’s capital base and balance sheet structure in the most recent periods.

1 Q3 2025 Calculation
Debt to capital = Total debt ÷ Total capital
= 64,229 ÷ 137,506 = 0.47
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total Debt
- The total debt level exhibits a moderately stable trend from early 2020 through late 2023, fluctuating within a relatively narrow range around 39,000 to 46,000 million US dollars. Beginning February 2024, a significant increase in total debt occurs, nearly doubling from approximately 39,000 million to a peak of 75,901 million US dollars. Subsequently, there is a gradual decline through 2024 and mid-2025, ending at 64,229 million US dollars. This suggests a material change in the company’s capital structure or financing activities starting in early 2024.
- Total Capital
- Total capital follows a similar pattern to total debt, remaining relatively steady from 2020 through 2023, fluctuating between roughly 60,300 million and 69,000 million US dollars. From early 2024 onward, total capital experiences a dramatic increase to approximately 146,185 million US dollars. This elevated level slightly decreases over the following periods but remains substantially higher than the previous range, ending near 137,500 million by mid-2025. This rise indicates an expansion in the company’s capital base, possibly due to debt issuance, equity financing, or a combination thereof.
- Debt to Capital Ratio
- The debt to capital ratio starts at around 0.65 in early 2020, showing a mild downward trend through late 2023, reaching approximately 0.62. This trend indicates a small reduction in leverage ratio and a modest improvement in capital structure stability. In early 2024, the ratio declines sharply to just above 0.50 and continues to decrease steadily to about 0.47 by mid-2025. The significant drop in this ratio alongside the increased capital base and elevated debt levels suggests that the growth in capital outpaces debt increase, reflecting stronger capitalization and possibly a strategic move toward reducing reliance on debt financing relative to total capital.

= 64,229 ÷ 165,621 = 0.39
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals notable trends in the company’s debt and asset structure over the given periods.
- Total Debt
- Total debt exhibited a relatively stable trend from early 2020 through early 2024, fluctuating narrowly between approximately 39,000 million and 46,000 million US dollars. However, beginning in February 2024, total debt increased significantly, peaking near 76,000 million US dollars. Subsequent quarters showed a declining trend, with debt decreasing to approximately 64,000 million by August 2025. This pattern suggests a notable increase in borrowing or liabilities at the start of 2024, followed by a gradual deleveraging.
- Total Assets
- Total assets followed a declining trend from February 2020 through mid-2022, dropping from approximately 81,000 million to around 71,000 million US dollars. After that period, assets stabilized somewhat but remained below initial levels until early 2024. Similar to total debt, a sharp increase occurred in early 2024, pushing total assets to nearly 178,000 million US dollars. Subsequently, assets decreased steadily but with less volatility, ending at about 166,000 million by August 2025. This suggests a significant asset acquisition or revaluation event in early 2024, followed by moderate adjustments.
- Debt to Assets Ratio
- The debt to assets ratio remained consistently in the range of 0.53 to 0.56 from 2020 to early 2024, indicating stable leverage levels. However, the ratio dropped markedly starting February 2024, falling from about 0.54 to below 0.40 by August 2025. This decline in leverage ratio, combined with the increase in total assets, suggests the company improved its balance sheet strength and reduced its relative indebtedness over this period, despite having elevated absolute debt levels initially.
Overall, the data reflects a period of relative stability in debt, assets, and leverage from 2020 through early 2024, followed by a substantial increase in both total debt and assets. Subsequent quarters displayed a controlled reduction in debt and assets with a clear improvement in leverage ratios, pointing to deleveraging and potentially enhanced financial flexibility.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The financial data reveals several notable trends in the company’s asset base, equity position, and leverage over the analyzed period spanning from early 2020 through mid-2025.
- Total Assets
- Total assets displayed a generally declining trend from approximately $81 billion in early 2020 to a range near $71 billion during 2022 and early 2023. After this period, a significant increase is observable beginning in early 2024, with total assets rising sharply to near $178 billion before gradually tapering to approximately $166 billion by mid-2025. This shift indicates a major expansion or investment in assets starting in 2024, contrasting with the earlier period of asset contraction.
- Stockholders' Equity
- Stockholders' equity similarly declined from about $24 billion in early 2020 to a low near $20 billion by mid-2022. It then rebounded somewhat by early 2023 but remained below its starting point until early 2024. From 2024 onward, equity surged markedly, paralleling the asset growth, reaching approximately $70 billion to $73 billion by mid-2025. This suggests that the increase in total assets was supported by a significant strengthening of equity capital in the latter period.
- Financial Leverage
- The financial leverage ratio, defined as total assets divided by stockholders’ equity, began at around 3.3 in early 2020 and fluctuated moderately between 3.0 and 3.4 through early 2023. However, commencing in 2024, the leverage ratio declined markedly, dropping from approximately 3.0 down to near 2.3 by mid-2025. This decrease in leverage ratio despite the rise in total assets and equity indicates that equity grew proportionally faster than assets or that liabilities were reduced relative to equity, reflecting a strengthened balance sheet and possibly a more conservative capital structure.
In summary, the early portion of the period was characterized by modest contraction in both assets and equity, while the more recent years demonstrate a substantial asset base expansion accompanied by a significant equity increase and a reduction in financial leverage. This pattern is indicative of strategic growth supported by improved capitalization and a potentially lower reliance on debt financing.

The earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) demonstrates a generally upward trajectory over the analyzed periods, with some fluctuations. Starting from 710 million US dollars in early 2020, EBIT increases steadily to peak at 4372 million US dollars by late 2023. This represents substantial growth in operating profitability. However, there is a notable decline in EBIT during early 2024, dropping to 2268 million US dollars, before it recovers and continues to rise again through 2025. The highest recorded EBIT is 6363 million US dollars in early 2025, followed by slight decreases but maintaining a strong level above 5800 million US dollars towards the end of the period.
Interest expense shows a different pattern, with more variability and some significant increases in the later periods. Initially fluctuating moderately between around 400 to 570 million US dollars through early 2022, the expense remains fairly stable for several quarters. However, beginning in early 2024, there is a sharp increase in interest expense, reaching a peak of over 1047 million US dollars. Following this peak, the interest expense decreases somewhat but remains elevated compared to earlier years, indicating increased borrowing costs or greater debt levels in the later periods.
The interest coverage ratio, which measures the ability to meet interest payments from operating earnings, reflects the interplay between EBIT and interest expense. Initially, the ratio is modest, around 2.5 in early 2020, indicating limited but sufficient coverage. Over time, as EBIT grows and interest expense remains stable or modest, the interest coverage ratio improves significantly, reaching a peak above 10 in late 2023. This indicates robust capability to service interest obligations at that point.
Starting in early 2024, the rise in interest expense alongside a temporary dip in EBIT causes the interest coverage ratio to decline sharply, dropping to around 3.5. Despite this reduction, the ratio rebounds moderately by 2025, rising back above 6, which still suggests a strong cushion relative to the beginning of the timeline. Overall, while the company's operating earnings have grown substantially, increasing interest expenses in the later periods have put some pressure on interest coverage, though it remains at a level generally indicative of financial stability.
In summary, the data reflect strong operating performance with EBIT growing significantly over the years under review. Interest expenses remained manageable initially but increased notably in the latter period, impacting the interest coverage ratio. Despite fluctuations, the company maintains a capacity to cover its interest obligations comfortably through most of the timeline. Monitoring the elevated interest costs and ensuring continued growth in EBIT will be important for sustaining this financial strength.
