The financial data reflects several notable trends and changes over the five-year period ending in 2024. These trends provide insight into the company's valuation relative to its earnings and its operational performance.

Enterprise Value (EV)
The enterprise value showed an upward trend from 2020 through 2022, rising from approximately 221 billion US dollars to nearly 272 billion US dollars. However, this value declined over the last two years, decreasing to approximately 232 billion US dollars by 2024. This decline may suggest changes in market perception, reduced market capitalization, or alterations in the company's net debt position.
Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA)
EBITDA exhibited consistent year-over-year growth throughout the entire period. Beginning at roughly 12.9 billion US dollars in 2020, it increased steadily each year, reaching about 16.7 billion US dollars in 2024. This steady increase in EBITDA indicates improving operational performance and potentially enhanced profitability or efficiency.
EV/EBITDA Ratio
The EV/EBITDA ratio demonstrated a rising trend from 17.17 in 2020 to a peak of 18.63 in 2022, indicating that the enterprise value was growing faster than operational earnings during this time. From 2023 onwards, the ratio declined to 13.88 by 2024. The reduction in this ratio suggests that either the market valuation is becoming more conservative relative to earnings or that EBITDA growth is outpacing enterprise value growth.

Overall, the data indicates consistent improvement in operating earnings, with EBITDA rising throughout the period. Despite this, enterprise value peaked in 2022 and then declined, leading to a decrease in the EV/EBITDA ratio by 2024. This may imply a more favorable valuation multiple for investors due to improved earnings or a decrease in market valuation. The combination of increasing EBITDA and decreasing EV/EBITDA ratio could be interpreted as the company becoming more financially attractive based on operational returns relative to its valuation.
