Equity and retained earnings are generally not revalued in the same way that certain assets can be revalued under accounting standards. Retained earnings represent cumulative profits that have not been distributed as dividends, and they are adjusted only through net income or losses and dividend declarations. Equity can reflect changes in market value through stock prices, but the accounting entries for equity, including retained earnings, are based on historical cost and not subject to revaluation. However, certain transactions like stock splits or equity financing can affect these figures.
