- Share Price Trend
- The share price exhibited notable fluctuations from 2006 through 2025. Initially, there was a decline from $58.89 in early 2006 to a low of $28.55 by early 2009, reflecting a substantial downturn possibly influenced by broader economic conditions during that period. Starting in 2009, a strong upward trajectory emerged, with the share price increasing consistently past the $100 mark by 2015, doubling again by 2017, and continuing to rise sharply to a peak of $498.28 in early 2024. A slight retracement was observed in 2025, where the price decreased to $468.56, though it remained historically high.
- Book Value per Share (BVPS) Trend
- BVPS demonstrated a steady upward progression throughout the entire period analyzed. Starting at $13.07 in 2006, it increased gradually each year without any periods of decline, reaching $101.30 by early 2025. This steady increase indicates consistent growth in the company's net asset value per share, suggesting improved equity base and retention of earnings or asset appreciation over time.
- Price-to-Book Value (P/BV) Ratio Trend
- The P/BV ratio underwent significant variation over the analyzed period. Initially, the ratio was relatively high at 4.5 in 2006 but dropped significantly to a low point of 1.6 by 2010, coinciding with the period of declining share price and steadily rising BVPS. From 2010 onwards, the P/BV ratio climbed steadily, peaking at 6.27 in early 2022, reflecting an elevated market valuation relative to book value. The ratio then declined moderately to 4.63 by early 2025. This pattern indicates changing investor sentiment and market expectations, with increasing premiums placed on the company's equity during growth phases and some revaluation occurring in recent years.
- Overall Financial Insights
- Over the nearly two-decade period, the company demonstrated strong and consistent growth in intrinsic value as shown by the rising BVPS. The share price mirrored broader economic cycles but showed remarkable recovery and expansion post-2009, culminating in record highs by the mid-2020s. The P/BV ratio’s volatility highlights periods of both investor caution and enthusiasm, probably reacting to external market conditions and internal growth prospects. Despite recent slight decreases in share price and P/BV ratio, the values remain elevated compared to the early years, signifying sustained confidence and value recognition in the market.
