Price to Earnings (P/E) Ratio
The P/E ratio exhibits significant volatility in the first four quarters, reaching a peak of 63.22 at the beginning of the period and declining sharply to 26.02 and 27.21 in the subsequent quarters. Thereafter, it rises again to 52.93 in the fourth quarter of 2013. Data for subsequent periods is missing, suggesting a lack of available earnings or valuation challenges during later periods.
Price to Operating Profit (P/OP) Ratio
The P/OP ratio shows a decreasing trend from 18.99 in the first quarter of 2013 to a lower range between 7.5 and 10.86 from 2014 onwards. This decline indicates a possible improvement in operating profit relative to market valuation or a decrease in the share price relative to operating profit. The ratio stabilizes somewhat between 7.5 and 10.86 through the available periods before the data ends.
Price to Sales (P/S) Ratio
The P/S ratio fluctuates moderately over the entire timeframe. Initially, values range roughly from 2.64 to 3.36 in 2013 and 2014, reflecting relative stability in market valuation relative to sales. However, starting in 2015, there is greater variation with values oscillating between approximately 2.17 and 4.42. Peaks observed in late 2016 and early 2017 suggest periods of higher market valuation relative to sales, while troughs in mid-2015 and mid-2017 indicate market pricing adjustment or sales performance variability.
Price to Book Value (P/BV) Ratio
The P/BV ratio presents a generally upward trend with fluctuations. It starts near 2.0 in early 2013, rising to above 2.6 by early 2014 before dipping slightly and then climbing steadily through 2015 and 2016. Notable peaks occur in late 2016 and early 2017 when the ratio reaches above 3.0, indicating increased market valuation compared to the company's book value. The dips in between suggest episodes of market reevaluation or changes in the company's net asset value. Overall, the trend points toward an increasing premium on book value over these periods.

The financial data reveals several notable trends over the time periods analyzed. The share price exhibited variability with an initial upward trajectory through 2013 and early 2014 followed by a period of decline starting in mid-2015, reaching a notable trough at the end of 2015, before stabilizing at lower levels through 2017.

Earnings per share (EPS) demonstrated a generally negative performance throughout the observed periods. Early 2013 showed positive EPS values, peaking mid-year, after which EPS turned negative starting in the first quarter of 2014 and remained negative for all subsequent quarters. The magnitude of losses per share increased significantly through 2015 and 2016, before showing modest improvement towards the latter part of 2016 and into 2017, although EPS remained negative.

The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, available only for the four quarters of 2013, shows elevated ratios especially at the beginning and end of the year. The substantial values in early 2013 indicate high valuation relative to earnings, possibly driven by moderate earnings growth or investor expectations at that time. The absence of P/E data following 2013 likely corresponds to the transition to negative earnings, which precludes meaningful P/E calculation.

Share Price Trends
The share price increased from early 2013 peaking around mid-2014, followed by a steep decline during 2015, correlating with deteriorated earnings. Prices somewhat recovered but remained below prior highs through 2017.
Earnings per Share (EPS) Trends
Positive EPS in 2013 turned negative starting in early 2014 and worsened significantly through 2015 and 2016. Despite negative results, there was a gradual reduction in losses from late 2016 onwards.
P/E Ratio Observations
P/E ratios were high during 2013 when earnings were positive, indicating possibly optimistic market valuations. The lack of P/E ratios after 2013 aligns with sustained negative EPS values.

Overall, the financial indicators portray a company facing increasing profitability challenges beginning in 2014, impacting market valuation negatively. While share price volatility indicates fluctuating investor sentiment, consistent negative earnings highlight ongoing operational or market difficulties during the period analyzed.

The financial data reveals notable fluctuations across the analyzed periods, reflecting changes in market valuation and operational profitability.

Share Price
The share price exhibited an overall downward trend starting from a high in early 2014, peaking at $109.23 in June 2014, before a significant decline ensued. The decline became pronounced from 2015 onwards, reaching a low point of $40.50 in December 2015. Although some recovery was observed in subsequent quarters, with the share price rising to $66.77 by December 2016, the price again trended downward to $44.21 in June 2017, ending at $49.37 in September 2017. This pattern indicates substantial volatility and weakening market confidence over the period.
Operating Profit Per Share
Operating profit per share increased steadily from $4.61 in March 2013 to a peak of $12.04 in September 2014, suggesting improved operational efficiency or profitability. However, a severe deterioration followed starting in March 2015, turning negative at -$3.50 and continuing to decline further to -$17.33 by December 2015. Although losses moderated somewhat after this trough, profitability remained negative through September 2017, with values around -$2.96. This trend signals significant operational challenges impacting core earnings.
Price to Operating Profit Ratio (P/OP)
The P/OP ratio, representing market valuation relative to operating earnings, decreased from 18.99 in March 2013 to a low of 7.50 in September 2014, reflecting increasing operating profit per share relative to share price. This decline may indicate greater operational efficiency or market reassessment. Data for this ratio is not available after December 2014, likely due to the shift of operating profit to negative territory, which renders the ratio less meaningful.

In summary, the data shows a company that experienced rising operational profitability and corresponding share price gains until late 2014, followed by a sharp operational decline and sustained losses. The market reacted with a fall in share price, reflecting diminished investor confidence and challenging economic conditions. Despite some moderate recovery efforts post-2015, operating profitability remained negative, underscoring ongoing financial and operational difficulties.

The analyzed data reveals several notable trends in the financial metrics across the observed periods.

Share Price (US$)
The share price showed a rising tendency from early 2013 through mid-2014, peaking at 109.23 US$ in June 2014. Following this peak, the price experienced a downward trend, reaching a significant low of 40.5 US$ by December 2015. Afterwards, a period of recovery is observed with prices gradually increasing up to 66.77 US$ by the end of 2016. However, the share price decreased again, falling to 44.21 US$ by June 2017, with a minor rebound to 49.37 US$ in the subsequent quarter.
Sales Per Share (US$)
Sales per share demonstrated a general decline over the timeframe. Starting at 27.15 US$ in March 2013, this metric increased slightly until late 2014, where it peaked at approximately 33.32 US$. Afterward, a steady decrease occurred, bottoming out at 14.14 US$ in September 2016. A modest recovery followed, with sales per share climbing back to 19.2 US$ by September 2017.
Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio
The P/S ratio fluctuated significantly during the periods reviewed. Between 2013 and mid-2014, it generally remained around 3.2 to 3.4, indicating stable relative valuation levels. After a decline to 2.17 in December 2015 concurrent with the drop in share price and sales per share, the ratio surged to a high of 4.42 by the end of 2016. This increase suggests that the market price per share was relatively high compared to sales during this rebound phase. Subsequently, the P/S ratio dropped to around 2.44-2.57 by mid to late 2017, reflecting either a normalization of valuations or a slower increase in share price relative to sales.

Overall, the data indicates a period of volatility in the stock price, influenced by declining sales per share in the latter years, followed by partial recovery phases. The swings in the P/S ratio imply changing market sentiment and valuation dynamics relative to the company's sales performance during the analyzed quarters.

Share Price Trends
The share price exhibited fluctuations over the observed periods. Initially, it increased from approximately 87.62 USD to a peak of 109.23 USD by mid-2014. Subsequently, the price declined, reaching a low of around 40.5 USD by the end of 2015. Following this trough, the share price gradually recovered to approximately 66.77 USD by the end of 2016 before experiencing another decline and partial recovery, ending near 49.37 USD by late 2017.
Book Value Per Share (BVPS) Trends
The book value per share demonstrated a generally downward trend throughout the periods analyzed. Starting at about 42.06 USD in early 2013, the BVPS decreased with minor fluctuations, reaching roughly 19.71 USD by late 2017. This consistent decline may indicate reductions in net asset value relative to outstanding shares.
Price-to-Book Value Ratio (P/BV)
The price-to-book value ratio reflected changes in both market valuation and underlying book value. Initially, the P/BV ratio hovered around 2.0 in early 2013 and rose to a peak above 2.8 in mid-2014, coinciding with high share prices and relatively stable BVPS. The ratio then declined sharply to about 1.61 by the end of 2015, reflecting the combination of falling share prices and dropping book values. Following this, the P/BV increased again, surpassing 3.0 by the end of 2016, which suggests that the market price recovered faster relative to book value. Towards late 2017, the ratio settled in the range of approximately 2.16 to 2.51.
Overall Insights
The data indicate a volatile market perception of the company's value, with share prices undergoing significant ups and downs, especially between 2014 and 2015. The persistent decrease in book value per share points to potential challenges in asset valuation or retained earnings over time. The fluctuating P/BV ratio reveals varying investor confidence and market sentiment, with periods where market valuation outpaced book value recovery, notably in late 2016. This pattern may reflect broader industry or economic influences affecting the company's financial standing and investor expectations.
