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

Share Price
The share price exhibits significant fluctuations across the years. Initially, it shows an increasing trend from 15.6 USD in 2005 to 18.3 USD in 2006, followed by a sharp decline to 4.23 USD in 2008, likely influenced by broader market conditions. Subsequently, the price recovers notably, reaching a peak of 110.78 USD in 2021. Post-2021, the share price demonstrates volatility, declining to 97.95 USD in 2022, slightly rising again in 2023, and then falling to 84.78 USD by 2025. Overall, the long-term tendency is an increase, with intermittent downturns.
Book Value Per Share (BVPS)
BVPS generally trends upward from 1.37 USD in 2005 to a high of 4.04 USD in 2016. However, after 2016, there is a marked reversal, with BVPS becoming negative starting in 2018 (-5.28 USD) and continuing to decline through 2025, reaching -7.12 USD. This negative BVPS indicates the company’s total liabilities exceeded its total assets on a per-share basis during the latter period, reflecting possible financial stress or accounting adjustments impacting equity.
Price-to-Book Value (P/BV) Ratio
The P/BV ratio experiences considerable variation, starting at 11.4 in 2005 and fluctuating in subsequent years with a low point at 2.49 in 2008, coinciding with the trough in share price and rising BVPS, indicating the market undervaluation relative to book value at that time. A strong increase in the P/BV ratio is observed around 2013-2016, peaking at 15.59 in 2015, reflecting a market premium on the company's stock relative to book value. From 2018 onward, the P/BV ratio data is largely unavailable, likely due to the negative BVPS values since P/BV is not meaningful with negative equity value.

In summary, the company’s share price demonstrates robust growth over the long term interspersed with periods of volatility. BVPS shows growth until a significant downward trend into negative territory after 2016, suggesting challenges in net asset value. The P/BV ratio indicates fluctuating market valuations relative to book value, with meaningful peaks during periods of strong share price and positive BVPS. The data signals financial stress in recent years though the market maintains considerable valuation as reflected in the elevated share price compared to book value.
