The price-to-book value (P/BV) ratio exhibits considerable fluctuation over the observed period. Initially, the ratio demonstrates a decline from 5.90 in 2006 to a low of 2.66 in 2009, coinciding with a period of economic uncertainty. Subsequently, the ratio experiences a period of moderate increase, peaking at 9.34 in 2018, before exhibiting volatility in more recent years.

Early Period (2006-2009)
From 2006 to 2009, the P/BV ratio decreased significantly. This decline suggests a potential decrease in investor confidence relative to the company’s net asset value, or a relative increase in book value compared to the share price. The lowest point, 2.66 in 2009, represents the most substantial undervaluation based on this metric during the analyzed timeframe.
Growth and Stabilization (2009-2018)
Following 2009, the P/BV ratio generally trended upward, although not consistently. The ratio increased from 2.66 to 9.34 over this period. This indicates increasing investor optimism and a willingness to pay a higher premium for the company’s net asset value. The growth appears relatively stable, with fluctuations remaining within a defined range.
Recent Volatility (2018-2025)
From 2018 onwards, the P/BV ratio demonstrates increased volatility. A peak of 18.36 is observed in 2021, followed by a decrease to 13.69 in 2022, a substantial increase to 18.64 in 2024, and a subsequent decline to 8.81 in 2025. This suggests a period of heightened market sensitivity and potentially changing investor perceptions regarding the company’s future prospects. The significant increase in 2021, followed by declines, warrants further investigation into underlying factors influencing market valuation.
Book Value Per Share Trend
The book value per share (BVPS) consistently increased throughout the period, rising from 2.67 in 2006 to 65.72 in 2025. This consistent growth in BVPS provides a baseline for understanding the fluctuations in the P/BV ratio. The recent volatility in P/BV, despite continued growth in BVPS, suggests that market sentiment is playing a more dominant role in valuation.

In summary, the P/BV ratio has transitioned from a period of decline and stabilization to one of increased volatility. While book value per share has consistently increased, the market’s valuation, as reflected in the P/BV ratio, has become more sensitive to external factors in recent years.
