The financial data reveals notable dynamics in the share price, book value per share (BVPS), and price-to-book value (P/BV) ratio over the analyzed period.
- Share Price
- The share price showed substantial growth from 31.56 US$ in late 2005 to a peak of 121.52 US$ in late 2017. The upward trend experienced some volatility, with a notable peak at 94.28 US$ in 2007 followed by a decline in 2008 and 2010. Post-2010, the share price largely recovered and showed steady increases, culminating in the highest recorded value in 2017.
- Book Value Per Share (BVPS)
- BVPS exhibited a general upward trend from 10.45 US$ in 2005 to a peak of 23.88 US$ in 2013. However, from 2013 onwards, BVPS declined sharply to 10.35 US$ in 2016 before a modest rise to 14.63 US$ in 2017. This decline post-2013 could indicate challenges in asset value growth or increased liabilities during those years.
- Price-to-Book Value Ratio (P/BV)
- The P/BV ratio fluctuated considerably, initiating at 3.02 in 2005 and reaching peaks of 6.86 in 2007 and 9.9 in 2016. The ratio generally increased when the share price outpaced BVPS growth, indicating higher market valuation relative to book value. The highest ratios occurred in years when book value per share was declining or relatively low, notably from 2014 through 2016, suggesting heightened investor optimism or market expectations despite stagnant or decreasing book value.
Overall, the company’s stock price appreciation outstripped the growth of book value per share, especially in the latter years, resulting in significant expansion in market valuation relative to book equity. The volatility in BVPS after 2013 coupled with rising P/BV ratios points to a period of financial adjustment or asset revaluation while maintaining market confidence.
