- Share Price Trend
- The share price exhibited significant growth over the analyzed period, increasing from $2.56 in late 2005 to $222.91 by late 2024. Notably, some fluctuations occurred in the early years, with a dip in 2008 to $3.69 before resuming a generally upward trajectory. From 2018 onward, there was an accelerated rise, with prices moving from $50.4 in 2018 to $222.91 in 2024, indicating strong market confidence and growth potential attributed to the company.
- Book Value Per Share (BVPS) Trend
- BVPS showed steady growth from $0.32 in 2005 to a peak of $6.53 in 2017. However, a declining trend followed from 2017 onward, dropping to $3.77 by 2024. This reduction in book value per share after 2017 might suggest increased share issuance, restructuring, or changes in asset base that could influence book equity negatively.
- Price-to-Book Value (P/BV) Ratio Trend
- The P/BV ratio began at 8.09 in 2005, fluctuated moderately through the years, with a notable dip in 2008 reaching 4.37, consistent with the lower share price and increased book value at that time. From 2016 onward, the P/BV ratio escalated sharply, reaching an exceptional 59.17 in 2024. This surge reflects a market valuation substantially higher than the book value, highlighting high investor expectations or possibly an overvaluation relative to the company's net asset base.
- Summary of Relationships and Insights
- The overall data indicate that while the book value per share experienced initial growth and then declined post-2017, the share price consistently increased, especially after 2017. This divergence contributed to the steep rise in the P/BV ratio, suggesting that market valuation increasingly relied on factors beyond the company's tangible book value, such as earnings potential, brand strength, or intangible assets. The high P/BV ratio in recent years may warrant closer examination to assess sustainability and the balance between market perception and fundamental asset values.
