Price to Earnings (P/E) Ratio: The P/E ratio experienced notable fluctuations over the observed periods. It increased significantly from 28.32 in 2020 to a peak of 36.58 in 2021, suggesting elevated investor expectations or potentially higher growth prospects during that time. Subsequently, it declined sharply to 22.93 in 2022, before moderately rising again to 27.81 in 2023 and further to 31.07 in 2024. The latest projection for 2025 shows a substantial decrease to 19.47. This downward trend in the final year may indicate anticipated lower earnings growth or a reassessment of company valuation by the market.
Price to Operating Profit (P/OP) Ratio: The P/OP ratio followed a pattern similar to the P/E ratio, rising from 22.21 in 2020 to a high of 28.35 in 2021. After 2021, the ratio declined sharply to 16.83 in 2022 and then experienced moderate increases to 21.69 in 2023 and 23.52 in 2024. Forecasts suggest a significant drop to 14.62 in 2025. This trend points to changing market perceptions regarding the company's operational profitability and potentially reflects expectations of altered profit margins or operational efficiencies in the future.
Price to Sales (P/S) Ratio: The P/S ratio initially rose from 3.26 in 2020 to 4.28 in 2021, indicating increased valuation relative to sales. It then declined to 2.56 in 2022, followed by a gradual recovery to 2.98 in 2023 and 3.48 in 2024. The forecast for 2025 shows a decrease to 2.15, which might reflect a cautious outlook on revenue growth or adjustments in valuation metrics tied to sales performance.
Price to Book Value (P/BV) Ratio: The P/BV ratio showed a general pattern of increase from 8.51 in 2020 to 11.06 in 2021, pointing to rising market valuations relative to book value. This was followed by a pronounced decline to 7.13 in 2022, with minor recovery to 7.44 in 2023 and 7.98 in 2024. The projection for 2025 indicates a sharp reduction to 4.79. Such a downward trend may signal a market reassessment of the company's net asset value or changes in underlying book value dynamics.
Overall Insights: Across all four valuation metrics, the year 2021 marked a peak in market valuation ratios, followed by declines in 2022. A partial recovery phase is observed in 2023 and 2024, yet all ratios are expected to experience notable drops in 2025. This pattern suggests a cycle of heightened investor optimism with subsequent correction and a more conservative outlook toward the later years, possibly reflecting anticipated challenges or adjustments in earnings, operational efficiency, revenue growth, or asset valuations.

Share Price Trend: The share price demonstrated considerable volatility over the observed periods. Initially, it increased significantly from 228.14 to 341.82 US$, followed by a decline to 250.07 US$. Subsequently, it rose again to 361.07 US$ by the period ending August 31, 2024, before dropping sharply to 240.94 US$ in the final period. This fluctuation indicates a cyclical pattern of investor sentiment or market conditions affecting the stock value.
Earnings per Share (EPS) Trend: The EPS showed a steady and consistent upward trend, increasing from 8.06 US$ to 12.38 US$ over the six periods. This suggests continuous improvement in the company's profitability on a per-share basis, reflecting positive operational performance or effective cost management.
Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio Analysis: The P/E ratio reflected notable variability throughout the periods, moving from 28.32 to a peak of 36.58, then declining to 19.47 at the end of the observed timeline. The fluctuations in the P/E ratio were influenced by the combined effects of share price volatility and increasing earnings. The lower P/E in the final period suggests the stock became relatively cheaper compared to its earnings, which could indicate undervaluation or market skepticism despite rising earnings.
Overall Insights: While earnings per share steadily improved, indicating strengthening financial performance, the share price and valuation multiples exhibited significant volatility. The decoupling of share price movement from the steady EPS growth suggests external factors, such as market dynamics or investor sentiment, had a substantial impact on stock valuation. The recent decline in the P/E ratio alongside rising EPS may present a potential investment opportunity if the company's performance fundamentals remain strong.

Share Price: The share price exhibited fluctuations over the observed periods. Starting at $228.14 in 2020, it increased notably to $341.82 in 2021, representing a strong upward trend. However, this was followed by a decline to $250.07 in 2022. Subsequently, the share price recovered to $304.36 in 2023 and further rose to $361.07 in 2024, reaching the highest value in the series. In 2025, the share price declined sharply to $240.94, indicating increased volatility in the recent period.
Operating Profit Per Share: Operating profit per share showed consistent growth throughout the periods. It increased steadily from $10.27 in 2020 to $16.48 in 2025, with only a slight dip between 2022 and 2023 where it decreased from $14.85 to $14.03. The overall trend indicates improving operating profitability per share, signaling enhanced operational efficiency or earnings capacity over time.
Price-to-Operating Profit Ratio (P/OP): The P/OP ratio, which measures the share price relative to operating profit per share, fluctuated across the years. It was 22.21 in 2020 and increased to a peak of 28.35 in 2021, reflecting heightened market valuation relative to operating profits. This ratio then decreased significantly to 16.83 in 2022, suggesting a more favorable valuation in terms of operating profit. The P/OP ratio rose again to 23.52 in 2024 but subsequently dropped to the lowest value of 14.62 in 2025. This decline could imply that the market valuation became more conservative relative to the company’s operating earnings in the latest period.
Overall Insights: The data indicates a steady improvement in operating profit per share, suggesting enhanced operational performance over the period. Share price movement was more volatile, with significant rises and falls, possibly reflecting external market conditions or investor sentiment shifts. The P/OP ratio’s fluctuations highlight varying market perceptions of the company's valuation in relation to its operating profitability. The lowest P/OP ratio in 2025, combined with the decline in share price despite rising operating profit per share, might suggest a period of cautious investor outlook or macroeconomic influences affecting market valuation.

Sales per Share Trend: Sales per share demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory throughout the entire period, rising from 69.91 US$ in August 2020 to 112.3 US$ in August 2025. This steady increase suggests ongoing growth in the company’s revenue generated per share.
Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio Trend: The P/S ratio showed fluctuations, starting at 3.26 in August 2020 and peaking at 4.28 in August 2021. Subsequently, it declined to a low of 2.15 in August 2025 after intermediate variations. The ratio’s decrease over recent years, despite rising sales per share, may reflect a reduction in market valuation relative to sales.
Overall Analysis: The financial data depicts a company with growing sales per share, signaling strengthening operational performance or revenue enhancement. The share price growth up to 2024 suggests positive investor sentiment, but the drop in 2025 may indicate market concerns or external factors affecting valuation. The declining P/S ratio in the later years, despite higher sales, could imply the stock became less expensive relative to sales, possibly due to market correction or altered investor expectations.

Share Price: The share price exhibited significant fluctuations over the observed period. It increased sharply from $228.14 in 2020 to a peak of $341.82 in 2021, followed by a decline to $250.07 in 2022. Subsequently, it rose again to $361.07 in 2024 before falling notably to $240.94 in 2025. This pattern indicates considerable volatility in market valuation over these years.
Book Value per Share (BVPS): The book value per share demonstrated a consistent upward trend throughout the period. Starting at $26.81 in 2020, it increased steadily each year, reaching $50.28 by 2025. This suggests ongoing growth in the company's net asset value on a per-share basis, reflecting potential improvements in retained earnings or asset base expansion.
Price-to-Book Value Ratio (P/BV): The P/BV ratio showed a declining trend overall, despite some variability. It was highest at 11.06 in 2021, indicating that the market price was significantly above the book value at that time. The ratio then decreased markedly to 4.79 by 2025, signaling a reduced premium of the market price over the book value. This decline can be attributed to the faster growth of book value relative to share price in the latter years, potentially indicating a revaluation by the market or changes in investor sentiment.
