Share Price
The share price experienced significant volatility during the period analyzed. It peaked at $64.50 in early 2007 before declining sharply to a low of $22.05 by early 2009, coinciding with the global financial crisis. Following this trough, the share price showed a sustained recovery, reaching a high of $97.06 in early 2017 before slightly decreasing to $94.37 in early 2018. Overall, the trend indicates strong recovery and growth after the 2008–2009 downturn.
Book Value Per Share (BVPS)
Book value per share showed a less volatile but downward trend during the initial part of the period, peaking at $49.10 in early 2008 and then decreasing significantly to $29.02 by early 2010. After this drop, book value per share stabilized, fluctuating moderately between approximately $29 and $33.5 until early 2017. By early 2018, there was an increase to $36.39, indicating some recovery in the company’s net asset value per share.
Price to Book Value Ratio (P/BV)
The price to book value ratio displayed an inverse relationship to book value per share trends, reflecting market sentiment and share price changes. Initially, the ratio hovered around 1.2 to 1.3 in 2006 and 2007 but fell steeply to 0.62 in early 2009, indicating the share price was significantly undervalued relative to the book value during the financial crisis. From 2010 onward, the P/B ratio showed a strong upward trend, peaking at 3.09 in early 2017, before slightly declining to 2.59 in early 2018. This suggests increasing market confidence and willingness to pay a premium over book value, reflecting positive growth prospects or improved market perception after the crisis period.
Summary of Trends
Overall, the data reveals a company that was severely impacted by the 2008 financial crisis, with both market price and book value per share declining sharply during that period. Subsequent years show a recovery in market share price that outpaced the modest recovery in book value per share, as evidenced by the increasing price to book value ratio. This divergence indicates increased market optimism relative to the underlying book value, possibly due to growth expectations or strategic developments enhancing future earnings potential.
