The analysis of the Price to Book Value (P/BV) ratio reveals a significant shift in market valuation over the period from 2006 to 2020. The ratio evolved from a period of relative stability into a phase of aggressive expansion, indicating a growing premium that investors were willing to pay over the company's accounting value.
- Early Stability Period (2006–2013)
- Between 2006 and 2013, the P/BV ratio remained within a narrow range, fluctuating between a minimum of 1.83 and a maximum of 2.26. During this interval, the share price and book value per share moved in relative tandem, suggesting a consistent market valuation based on tangible assets.
- Rapid Valuation Expansion (2014–2018)
- A distinct upward trajectory began in 2014, with the P/BV ratio rising from 2.69 to a peak of 6.16 by February 2018. This period is characterized by a decoupling of the share price from the book value, as the market price increased at a significantly faster rate than the growth of the book value per share.
- Recent Volatility and Recovery (2019–2020)
- Following the 2018 peak, the P/BV ratio experienced a sharp correction to 4.45 in 2019, coinciding with a decrease in share price. However, a subsequent recovery is observed by 2020, where the ratio climbed back to 5.23, driven by the share price reaching a period high of 229.76 US$.
The overall trend indicates that while the book value per share grew steadily from 24.01 US$ in 2006 to 43.90 US$ in 2020, the share price grew at a disproportionate rate. This resulted in the P/BV ratio nearly tripling over the fifteen-year period, reflecting a transition toward a valuation model driven more by intangible assets, future growth expectations, or market sentiment than by net asset value.
