- Price to Earnings (P/E) Ratio
- The Price to Earnings ratio exhibits a clear downward trend over the period analyzed. Starting at 36.53 in 2020, it decreases significantly to 21.92 in 2021 and continues to fall steadily to 11.91 in 2022, reaching 10.17 in 2023 and further slightly declining to 9.65 in 2024. This consistent decline suggests that the market valuation relative to earnings has become more conservative over time, possibly reflecting improved earnings performance or a recalibration of market expectations.
- Price to Operating Profit (P/OP) Ratio
- The Price to Operating Profit ratio follows a notably similar downward trajectory from 14 in 2020 to 9.69 in 2021. It shows an accelerated decrease to 5.03 in 2022 and further decreases to 3.69 in 2023. A marginal increase to 3.74 is observed in 2024. Overall, this indicates a substantial improvement in operating profitability relative to the company’s market price, implying enhanced operational efficiency or increased operating profit.
- Price to Sales (P/S) Ratio
- The Price to Sales ratio demonstrates a declining pattern from 2.45 in 2020 down to 0.85 in 2023, with a minor increase to 0.89 in 2024. This trend indicates a decreasing valuation of the company’s sales in the market, which may suggest either an increase in sales revenue, a market revaluation, or a combination of both. The slight uptick in the latest year could hint at stabilizing market perceptions or sales growth normalization.
- Price to Book Value (P/BV) Ratio
- The Price to Book Value ratio initially rises from 4.94 in 2020 to a peak of 7.26 in 2021. Subsequently, it declines to 6.6 in 2022, then falls more sharply to 4.18 in 2023 and continues to drop to 3.15 in 2024. The overall trend indicates a market devaluation relative to the company's book value after an initial increase, potentially reflecting changes in investor confidence, asset composition, or shifts in equity valuation methodologies.

The financial data reveals notable trends over the five-year period ending in 2024.
- Share Price
- The share price experienced a significant decline from $607.56 in 2020 to a low of $319.21 in 2023, representing a drop of nearly 47.5%. However, in 2024, the share price showed a modest recovery to $345.49, indicating a potential stabilization or early signs of an upward correction.
- Earnings per Share (EPS)
- Contrary to the share price trend, earnings per share demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory throughout the period. EPS increased from $16.63 in 2020 to $35.81 in 2024. This represents more than a doubling of earnings per share, suggesting strong profitability growth despite the declining share price in the initial years.
- Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio
- The P/E ratio declined sharply from 36.53 in 2020 to 9.65 in 2024. This decrease reflects the combined effect of higher earnings and a lower share price during the period. The reduction in P/E implies that the stock became more attractively valued or less overvalued relative to its earnings, possibly indicating increased market skepticism or a correction in market valuation.
Overall, the data shows a divergence between the share price and earnings growth, with earnings increasing significantly while the share price declined substantially before partially recovering. The falling P/E ratio suggests the market adjusted expectations or sentiment, leading to a more conservative valuation despite improving financial performance metrics.

- Share Price Trend
- The share price demonstrated a declining trend from 2020 through 2023, decreasing substantially from $607.56 in 2020 to a low of $319.21 in 2023. However, in 2024, there was a modest recovery, with the price rising to $345.49. Overall, the share price fell by approximately 43% over the five-year period.
- Operating Profit Per Share Trend
- Operating profit per share showed consistent growth across the entire period, increasing from $43.38 in 2020 to $92.42 in 2024. This represents a more than twofold increase, indicating improving operational efficiency or profitability on a per-share basis.
- Price to Operating Profit Ratio (P/OP) Trend
- The P/OP ratio fell markedly from 14 in 2020 to 3.69 in 2023, with a slight increase to 3.74 in 2024. This decline suggests that the market valuation relative to operating profit has compressed significantly, possibly reflecting market reassessment of growth prospects or risk.
- Relationship Between Price and Operating Profit
- Despite the steady increase in operating profit per share, the share price declined sharply for most of the period. This divergence resulted in a pronounced reduction in the P/OP ratio. The recent slight uptick in share price in 2024, despite continued profit growth, caused a minor increase in the P/OP ratio, indicating a partial market revaluation. Overall, the data suggests improving profitability has not yet fully translated into higher market valuation per share.

The analysis of the financial data reveals significant trends in the company's share price, book value per share (BVPS), and price-to-book value (P/BV) ratio over the five-year period from 2020 to 2024.
- Share Price
- The share price experienced a declining trend from 607.56 US$ in 2020 to a low of 319.21 US$ in 2023, representing a substantial decrease in market valuation. However, there was a moderate recovery in 2024, with the share price increasing to 345.49 US$.
- Book Value Per Share (BVPS)
- BVPS showed a declining trend initially, dropping from 122.88 US$ in 2020 to 59.74 US$ in 2022. This decline was followed by a reversal, as BVPS increased to 76.34 US$ in 2023 and further rose sharply to 109.81 US$ in 2024, suggesting an improvement in the company's net asset value per share in the latter years.
- Price-to-Book Value (P/BV) Ratio
- The P/BV ratio started at 4.94 in 2020, peaked at 7.26 in 2021, and then steadily decreased each subsequent year to reach 3.15 in 2024. The high ratio in 2021 indicates that the market value was significantly higher than the book value at that time, while the declining trend suggests a decreasing premium on the company's market valuation relative to its book value over the years.
Overall, the data indicate that while the company experienced a weakening market valuation and deterioration in book value per share in the early part of the period, there was a notable recovery in book value per share and a stabilizing share price towards the end of the period. The consistent decline in the P/BV ratio throughout the years reflects a normalization or reduction of market expectations relative to the company's book value.
