Understood. Total Stockholders Equity was purchased at SGLB not grown. That is why they also report Additional paid in capital. That is why share numbers are reported as well. Almost 6 million at the end of 2020 up form 310 thousand at the end of 2015. (Dilution) That is why I was asking for clarification. The statement needed to be explained. As it stood, it represented a positive environment that does not exist.

In the case of SGLB, retained earnings as of 12/31/2020 were -$33 million. That number was -$7.6 million 5 years ago.


Where in the EDGAR filings does it show that "...shareholders continue to profit..."?

1 month -22.69%
3 month -45.24%
6 month -52.82%

1 year -51.71%
2 year -80.99%
3 year -91.24%
5 year -89.30%
10 year -78.67%

How does total equity increase on the balance sheet?
Total equity can increase on the balance sheet whenever a company issues new shares of stock. If the company receives donations of capital from owners or other parties, this also increases total equity. One other common increase in total equity results from an increase in the company's retained earnings.
