³ 2015 Calculation
Common equity (market value) = Share price × No. shares of common stock outstanding
= 39.43 × 547,871,849

The financial trajectory from 2011 to 2015 is characterized by a period of steady expansion followed by a significant contraction in valuation. Enterprise value exhibited a consistent upward trend during the first three years of the period before experiencing a sharp decline in the final year.

Value Expansion and Peak (2011–2013): Enterprise value increased steadily from US$ 34,243 million in 2011 to a peak of US$ 44,093 million in 2013. This growth was closely mirrored by the market value of common equity, which rose from US$ 31,710 million to US$ 37,637 million, and total equity and debt, which climbed from US$ 37,148 million to US$ 46,826 million.
Stabilization Period (2014): The year 2014 represented a period of relative stagnation. Enterprise value decreased marginally to US$ 43,675 million, while total equity and debt saw a slight reduction to US$ 46,600 million. This suggests a plateau in the company's valuation and capital structure prior to the subsequent decline.
Significant Valuation Contraction (2015): A substantial reduction in all tracked metrics occurred in 2015. Enterprise value fell to US$ 20,781 million, a decrease of approximately 52.5% from the previous year. This contraction was reflected across other metrics, with common equity market value dropping to US$ 21,603 million and total equity and debt falling to US$ 28,142 million.
Equity and Debt Correlation: A strong correlation is observed between the market value of common equity and total equity throughout the period. The near-parallel movement of these figures, particularly during the 2015 contraction, indicates that market sentiment and book value shifted in tandem, reflecting a systemic reduction in the organization's overall valuation.
