- Share Price Trends
- The share price experienced significant fluctuations over the observed period. It started relatively high at $41.49 in early 2006, then showed a general downward trend until reaching a low point of $12.18 in early 2009. Following this, the price recovered steadily, peaking at $57.21 in early 2013. After maintaining relatively high levels through early 2015, the share price then declined sharply to $23.94 in early 2016. A moderate recovery ensued in subsequent years, with the price reaching $42.37 in early 2018 before slightly decreasing to $34.08 by early 2019.
- Book Value Per Share (BVPS) Trends
- Book value per share exhibited a generally upward trend from $7.14 in early 2006 to a peak of $18.27 in early 2014. This reflects an increasing underlying net asset value per share over the period. However, after 2014, BVPS declined steadily, reaching a low of $5.58 in early 2016. A recovery occurred over the next two years, but the trend reversed again, finishing at $6.87 in early 2019, indicating some volatility in the underlying book value during the latter part of the period.
- Price-to-Book Value (P/BV) Ratio Trends
- The P/BV ratio showed substantial variation throughout the timeline. Initially very high at 5.81 in 2006, it fell sharply to 1.41 by early 2009, corresponding with the decline in share price and relatively steady BVPS during the same timeframe. From 2009 onwards, the ratio increased, peaking at 5.32 in early 2018, indicating that the market price was considerably above the book value per share at that point. The ratio slightly decreased to 4.96 by early 2019, yet remained elevated relative to the earlier years.
- Overall Insights
- The data reflect a highly cyclical market valuation pattern, with share price volatility substantially influencing the P/BV ratio. While book value per share generally increased up to 2014, enhancing the company's net asset value, share price movements had a more pronounced impact on market valuation multiples. The sharp declines in share price during the 2008-2009 financial crisis and the dramatic drop in early 2016 affected the valuation metrics notably. Subsequent recoveries suggest periods of renewed investor confidence, though the elevated P/BV ratios in the latest years analyzed could imply market expectations surpassing the underlying book value growth.
