The analysis of the financial data reveals several notable trends in the share price, book value per share (BVPS), and price-to-book value ratio (P/BV) over the examined period.

Share Price
The share price showed considerable fluctuation across the years. Starting at $18.17 in 2005, it experienced a general growth trend reaching $32.04 in 2007 before a decline to $16.33 in 2011. From 2012 onwards, the share price mostly trended upwards with some volatility, peaking at $58.60 in 2021. The subsequent years saw some retracements, finishing at $49.13 in 2024. This pattern indicates periods of investor optimism and market corrections, with strong momentum particularly noted in the late 2010s to early 2020s.
Book Value Per Share (BVPS)
BVPS demonstrated a steady upward movement for much of the period, starting from $3.69 in 2005 and rising consistently to a peak of $13.36 in 2017. After 2017, there was a notable drop to $7.91 in 2019, which could suggest asset revaluation, impairment, or significant shareholder distributions. From 2019 onwards, BVPS gradually recovered, reaching $11.39 in 2024. This trend indicates overall growth in company net assets per share, despite intermittent declines.
Price-to-Book Value Ratio (P/BV)
The P/BV ratio fluctuated considerably throughout the period. Initially, it was high at 4.92 in 2005, increased to around 6.2 in 2007, and then declined sharply to a low of 1.86 in 2011, suggesting that the market price was approaching the book value at that time. From 2012, the ratio hovered mostly in the range between approximately 2.0 and 2.5, until a sharp increase occurred in 2018 reaching a peak of 6.12 in 2019. Subsequently, the ratio remained elevated but exhibited some decline by 2024, settling at 4.31. The volatility in this ratio indicates shifts in market valuation relative to the company’s book value, reflecting changes in investor sentiment, profitability outlook, or market conditions.

Overall, the data suggest a company experiencing periods of both market optimism and correction in its share price relative to book value. The increase in BVPS over much of the period points to asset growth, while the fluctuations in the P/BV ratio highlight varying perceptions of value by the market, often aligned with macroeconomic factors and company-specific events between 2005 and 2024.
