3 2023 Calculation
Common equity (market value) = Share price × No. shares of common stock outstanding
= 56.13 × 340,678,265


The enterprise value exhibited a fluctuating trend over the five-year period, characterized by a mid-term recovery followed by a substantial contraction in the final year. From 2019 to 2022, the valuation remained relatively stable, peaking at 30,255 million US dollars before experiencing a significant decrease to 24,915 million US dollars by the end of 2023.

Enterprise Value Dynamics
A cyclical pattern is observed where the enterprise value decreased in 2020, recovered steadily through 2021 and 2022, and then declined sharply in 2023. The reduction from 2022 to 2023 represents a contraction of approximately 17.6%, marking the lowest valuation in the reported period.
Equity Valuation and Market Sentiment
The market value of common equity closely tracks the movements of the total enterprise value. After reaching a high of 23,556 million US dollars in 2022, the market value fell to 19,122 million US dollars in 2023. The narrow variance between total equity and common equity market value throughout the period suggests that the company's market capitalization remained closely aligned with its book value.
Capitalization and Debt Correlation
Total equity and debt figures mirror the fluctuations seen in the enterprise value, indicating that changes in the overall valuation are heavily influenced by the combined total of equity and debt obligations. The decline in total equity and debt to 25,189 million US dollars in 2023 aligns with the broader downward trend in enterprise value for that year.
