From 2021 through 2024 Elevance’s reported total assets rose from $97.5bn to $116.9bn — a cumulative increase of about 20% (year‑over‑year gains of roughly +5.5%, +6.0% and +7.3%). Total liabilities increased from $61.3bn to $75.5bn over the same period, a ~23% rise (notable yearly moves of +8.2%, +4.7% and +8.6%). Stockholders’ equity grew more modestly from $36.1bn to $41.3bn (~14.6% total; +0.7%, +8.3% and +5.1% by year). As a result the balance‑sheet mix shifted slightly toward higher leverage: liabilities/assets rose from ~62.9% in 2021 to ~64.6% in 2024, while equity/assets fell from ~37.0% to ~35.4%. These trends are consistent with a large health‑insurer scaling operations (assets up) while reserves and claim liabilities expand with enrollment and healthcare cost inflation. Equity growth shows retained earnings/capital accumulation but lagged the pace of liability growth, which could reflect higher claims cost, capital returned to shareholders, or targeted use of balance‑sheet financing; the 2022→2023 jump in equity suggests a stronger earnings year or lower capital actions then. The 2025 row of zeros appears to be missing data. Overall the company maintains a sizable equity base and steady asset growth, but the modest rise in leverage and faster liability growth are worth monitoring relative to underwriting margins and regulatory capital ratios.
