The analyzed data reveals notable trends over the 20-year period concerning the share price, book value per share (BVPS), and price-to-book value (P/BV) ratio.

Share Price
The share price showed a generally upward trajectory from 2005 through 2025. Beginning at $13.29 in 2005, it rose gradually with some fluctuations, reaching $40.15 by 2014. After some periods of stabilization and minor declines, the price accelerated significantly from 2018 onwards, culminating in a substantial increase to $210.87 in 2025. This overall growth indicates a strong market valuation increase over the two decades.
Book Value per Share (BVPS)
BVPS increased steadily from $2.11 in 2005 to a peak of $13.02 in 2017, reflecting improving company fundamentals or asset valuation. However, a marked decline followed, with BVPS dropping sharply to $1.88 in 2021 and then turning negative at -$2.33 in 2022, indicating possible write-downs, losses, or significant balance sheet changes. After 2022, BVPS recovered somewhat to $7.28 by 2025, suggesting some restoration of book value but not returning to prior peaks.
Price-to-Book Value (P/BV) Ratio
The P/BV ratio started high at 6.31 in 2005, reflecting a premium pricing relative to book value. It progressively decreased to around 3.1-4.0 between 2008 and 2017, suggesting a moderation in market valuation premiums. Notably, from 2018 onward, the ratio escalated dramatically, peaking at extreme levels such as 308.71 (although one year shows a missing value, this peak typifies the trend). This surge indicates that despite the decline or volatility in book value, the market share price greatly outpaced it, implying strong investor confidence or anticipated growth not yet realized in book value terms.

Overall, the data reveals a strong equity market performance with significant appreciation in the share price. This contrasts with fluctuating book value, including a period of pronounced deterioration, suggesting that intangible factors or future growth expectations might be driving market valuation much more than current book asset values. The extreme rise in P/BV ratio in recent years highlights a considerable divergence between market valuation and accounting book value, which may warrant further investigation into the underlying causes.
