The analysis of the financial data reveals distinct patterns in the share price, book value per share (BVPS), and the price-to-book value ratio (P/BV) over the observed periods.
- Share Price
- The share price has demonstrated considerable volatility as well as a general upward trend over the nearly two-decade span. Initially, the price fluctuated around a low base, with values generally below $3 until approximately 2010. From 2010 onward, the share price showed significant growth, reaching above $30 by 2021 and continuing to rise, peaking at $57.51 in early 2025. Notwithstanding this upward trajectory, intermittent declines are observed, such as the decrease from $13.52 in 2015 to $5.32 in 2018, followed by a strong recovery.
- Book Value Per Share (BVPS)
- BVPS has exhibited a steady and consistent increase throughout the entire period. Starting from a low base of $0.19 in 2006, it grew gradually each year, with minor fluctuations, reaching $2.7 by 2025. This steady increase indicates continuous growth in the company’s net asset value attributable to each share. Occasional modest dips, such as the decline between 2016 and 2017, are minimal and appear temporary.
- Price-to-Book Value Ratio (P/BV)
- The P/BV ratio has been notably volatile. Initially, it moved between approximately 2.8 and 6.1 in the first few years, reflecting moderate market valuation relative to book value. From 2011 onwards, the ratio escalated substantially, peaking above 23 in 2024, indicating that the market price of shares is valued at a significantly higher premium over the book value. This growing disparity suggests increasingly optimistic market expectations or potentially overvaluation. Some notable decreases in the ratio occurred around 2009 and 2016, but these periods were generally followed by sharp increases.
In summary, the share price has generally increased with periods of both decline and rapid growth, while BVPS has shown steady and consistent growth, reflecting improving asset values. The P/BV ratio’s pronounced volatility and increase over time suggest that market valuation has grown substantially more aggressive relative to tangible book value, indicating heightened investor confidence, growth expectations, or market speculation in recent years.
