3 2021 Calculation
Common equity (market value) = Share price × No. shares of common stock outstanding
= 244.46 × 284,023,582


The financial data indicates a period of substantial growth in the valuation and capital structure between 2016 and 2019, followed by a moderate contraction in 2020 and a subsequent recovery in 2021.

Market Value and Equity Trends
Common equity market value experienced a consistent upward trajectory from 2016 to 2019, rising from US$ 35,772 million to a peak of US$ 70,428 million. A decline occurred in 2020 to US$ 65,973 million, with a partial recovery to US$ 69,432 million by September 30, 2021. There is a near-perfect correlation between the common equity market value and total equity throughout the observed period.
Capitalization and Total Obligations
Total equity and debt followed a growth pattern similar to equity, increasing from US$ 47,323 million in 2016 to US$ 89,820 million in 2019. This suggests a synchronized expansion of both the equity base and debt obligations. The figure decreased to US$ 83,906 million in 2020 before rising again to US$ 87,044 million in 2021.
Enterprise Value (EV) Analysis
The Enterprise Value exhibited the most significant volatility, particularly between 2017 and 2018, where it jumped from US$ 55,792 million to US$ 85,173 million. The EV peaked in 2019 at US$ 89,200 million. The subsequent decline to US$ 80,969 million in 2020 and the increase to US$ 84,640 million in 2021 reflect broader fluctuations in the total value of the business operations.

Overall, the data demonstrates that the organization's total value was driven by a strong expansion phase ending in 2019, with the 2020 contraction being largely offset by the gains made in the preceding three years.
