The price-to-book value (P/BV) ratio for the period between 2006 and 2026 exhibits considerable fluctuation, though generally trends upward. Initial values indicate a relatively high valuation, followed by a significant contraction, and then a period of stabilization before increasing again in later years.

Initial Valuation (2006-2008)
The P/BV ratio began at 7.80 in 2006, decreased slightly to 7.10 in 2007, and then increased substantially to 12.99 in 2008. This suggests increasing investor confidence or potentially speculative pricing during this period.
Significant Contraction (2009)
A dramatic decrease in the P/BV ratio occurred in 2009, falling to 3.55. This coincides with a substantial decline in the share price and likely reflects market conditions and investor sentiment during that time. The book value per share continued to increase, further exacerbating the decline in the ratio.
Stabilization and Moderate Growth (2010-2016)
From 2010 through 2016, the P/BV ratio demonstrated a period of relative stability, fluctuating between approximately 4.67 and 8.22. While not consistently increasing, the ratio did not experience the sharp declines seen in 2009. Book value per share consistently increased during this period, while the share price experienced more moderate growth.
Renewed Increase (2017-2021)
Starting in 2017, the P/BV ratio began a more pronounced upward trend, peaking at 12.41 in 2021. This increase was driven by a more rapid increase in share price relative to book value per share. The ratio reached 9.91 in 2017, 8.96 in 2019, 8.13 in 2020, and 9.53 in 2021.
Recent Fluctuations (2022-2026)
The P/BV ratio experienced a decrease in 2022 to 8.59, followed by a rise to 10.01 in 2023, and then a decrease to 9.54 in 2026. This suggests a potential leveling off of the previously observed growth trend, or increased sensitivity to market conditions. Book value per share continued to increase throughout this period.

Overall, the P/BV ratio demonstrates a cyclical pattern, influenced by both share price movements and changes in book value per share. The period from 2017 to 2021 represents a period of significant revaluation, while the more recent years suggest a return to a more moderate valuation level.
