The analysis of the financial ratios over the five-year period reveals several notable trends and fluctuations in valuation metrics.
- Price to Earnings (P/E) Ratio
- The P/E ratio shows significant volatility. Starting at 17.94 in 2017, it decreased to 12.5 in 2018, indicating a lower market valuation relative to earnings. However, there was a sharp increase to 131.98 in 2019 and a dramatic spike to 950.99 in 2020, suggesting either a substantial drop in earnings or a substantial increase in stock price not matched by earnings. By 2021, the ratio declined substantially to 26.86, signaling a return to a more moderate valuation relative to earnings.
- Price to Operating Profit (P/OP) Ratio
- Similar to the P/E ratio, the P/OP ratio experienced considerable fluctuations. It started at 18.9 in 2017, dropped significantly to 10.18 in 2018, then surged to 50.03 in 2019 and further doubled to 118.31 in 2020. This reflects large changes either in operating profit levels or share price. By 2021, the P/OP ratio reduced to 19.46, indicating normalization of valuation in relation to operating profit.
- Price to Sales (P/S) Ratio
- The P/S ratio exhibited a more moderate trend compared to P/E and P/OP. Beginning at 4.29 in 2017, it declined to 2.93 in 2018. In 2019, it rose to 3.61, followed by a notable increase to 5.74 in 2020. In 2021, it slightly decreased to 4.54. This pattern suggests varying market valuation relative to sales, with a peak in 2020.
- Price to Book Value (P/BV) Ratio
- The P/BV ratio displayed a steady upward trajectory throughout the period. It started at 2.94 in 2017 and declined mildly to 2.63 in 2018. From 2019 onwards, it increased consistently to 3.4 in 2019, 5.53 in 2020, and reached its highest point at 7.7 in 2021. This indicates increasing investor valuation relative to the company’s net asset value, possibly reflecting growing market confidence or asset revaluation.

The financial data over the five-year period reveals several notable patterns and trends in key performance indicators.
- Share Price (US$)
- The share price experienced a decline from $115.88 at the end of 2017 to $94.25 at the close of 2018. This was followed by a recovery to $114.64 in 2019. A significant upward trend commenced in 2020, with the share price rising sharply to $178.52 and further increasing to $191.42 by the end of 2021, indicating strong market confidence in the latter years.
- Earnings per Share (EPS) (US$)
- Earnings per share showed relative stability with an increase from $6.46 in 2017 to $7.54 in 2018, indicating improved profitability. However, a steep decline occurred in 2019, dropping EPS to $0.87, followed by a further decrease to a very low EPS of $0.19 in 2020. The company rebounded strongly in 2021 with EPS recovering to $7.13, approaching levels seen before the decline.
- Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio
- The P/E ratio decreased from 17.94 in 2017 to 12.5 in 2018, suggesting the stock was relatively undervalued or earnings growth outpaced price increases. The P/E ratio then surged dramatically to 131.98 in 2019 and reached an extreme level of 950.99 in 2020, correlating with the EPS collapse. This extremely high P/E ratio reflects the disproportionately high share price relative to earnings in those years. By 2021, the P/E ratio normalized to 26.86, reflecting the EPS recovery and more balanced valuation.
Overall, the data reflect a period of volatility with a pronounced earnings decline in 2019-2020 and subsequent recovery in 2021. The share price followed a general upward trend in the last two years analyzed, supported by improved profitability. The fluctuations in the P/E ratio highlight the market’s reactive valuation adjustments in response to changing earnings figures.

The financial data indicates several notable trends over the analyzed five-year period.
- Share Price
- The share price experienced fluctuations, starting at 115.88 US$ in 2017 and declining to 94.25 US$ in 2018. It then recovered to 114.64 US$ in 2019 before significantly increasing in the subsequent years, reaching 178.52 US$ in 2020 and further rising to 191.42 US$ by the end of 2021. This upward trend from 2019 onwards suggests growing investor confidence or improved market conditions.
- Operating Profit per Share
- Operating profit per share showed considerable volatility. It increased from 6.13 US$ in 2017 to a peak of 9.26 US$ in 2018, followed by a sharp decline to 2.29 US$ in 2019 and further down to 1.51 US$ in 2020. In 2021, operating profit per share rebounded strongly to 9.84 US$. These fluctuations suggest varying operational efficiency or profitability challenges during the middle years, with significant improvement by the end of the period.
- Price-to-Operating Profit (P/OP) Ratio
- The P/OP ratio reveals an inverse pattern relative to operating profit per share. It decreased from 18.9 in 2017 to 10.18 in 2018, indicating that the share price was relatively low compared to operating profits at that time. However, the ratio spiked dramatically to 50.03 in 2019 and surged to 118.31 in 2020, reflecting a sharp increase in share price relative to operating profit, or weakened profitability contrasted with high market valuation. In 2021, the ratio dropped significantly to 19.46, aligning more closely with levels observed at the beginning of the period.
Overall, the data demonstrates a volatile operating profit performance with a recovery in 2021, accompanied by a strong share price growth especially in the latter years. The P/OP ratio variations indicate changing market perceptions of profitability and valuation, with an extreme peak in 2020 suggesting possible overvaluation or temporary operational difficulties during that year.

The analysis of the annual financial data reflects significant variations in key performance indicators over the five-year period ending December 31, 2021.
- Share Price (US$)
- The share price demonstrated volatility with an initial decline from 115.88 in 2017 to 94.25 in 2018, followed by a recovery and growth trend rising to 114.64 in 2019. Subsequently, the share price experienced a strong uptrend, reaching 178.52 by the end of 2020 and further increasing to 191.42 in 2021. This indicates an overall positive market valuation trajectory after a dip in 2018.
- Sales Per Share (US$)
- Sales per share increased overall during this period, starting at 26.99 in 2017 and rising steadily to 32.13 in 2018. There was a slight decline to 31.73 in 2019 and a continued mild decrease to 31.09 in 2020. However, a substantial increase occurred in 2021, with sales per share peaking at 42.14. The pattern suggests fluctuations around stability, followed by a significant boost in the last reported year, highlighting improved revenue generation or operational performance per share.
- Price-to-Sales Ratio (P/S, ratio)
- The P/S ratio dropped from 4.29 in 2017 to 2.93 in 2018, indicating a potential undervaluation or lower market confidence relative to sales during that year. It then increased to 3.61 in 2019 and reached a peak of 5.74 in 2020, perhaps reflecting heightened investor enthusiasm or expectations exceeding current sales levels. In 2021, the ratio decreased to 4.54, which, despite the reduction from 2020, remains higher than the initial years, suggesting sustained positive market sentiment but possibly a moderation after a peak valuation phase.
In summary, the company's share price and sales per share generally exhibited positive growth with some fluctuations between 2017 and 2021. The notable rise in the share price and sales per share in 2020 and 2021 aligns with an elevated but slightly moderated P/S ratio in the latest year, signaling strong market confidence combined with enhanced sales performance. These trends collectively indicate a growing valuation supported by improving operational metrics in recent years.

The analyzed financial data reveal several notable trends over the five-year period from 2017 to 2021. The share price demonstrated a general upward trajectory, increasing from $115.88 in 2017 to $191.42 in 2021. Despite an initial decline in 2018 to $94.25, the share price rebounded strongly in subsequent years, reaching its highest point in 2021.
Conversely, the book value per share (BVPS) exhibited a consistent downward trend throughout the period. Starting at $39.45 in 2017, the BVPS decreased each year, culminating at $24.86 in 2021. This steady decline indicates a reduction in the company's net asset value on a per-share basis over time.
The price-to-book value (P/BV) ratio reflects the interplay between the share price and BVPS. It initially fluctuated mildly, moving from 2.94 in 2017 down to 2.63 in 2018 before increasing sharply to 7.7 in 2021. The significant rise in the P/BV ratio, particularly from 2019 onwards, suggests that the market valuation of the company outpaced the decline in its book value per share, implying increased investor optimism or expectations for future growth despite the decreasing book value.
- Share Price
- Overall growth with a dip in 2018; highest in 2021 at $191.42.
- Book Value per Share (BVPS)
- Continuous decline from $39.45 in 2017 to $24.86 in 2021.
- Price-to-Book Value (P/BV) Ratio
- Moderate changes until 2018 followed by a steep increase, reaching 7.7 in 2021, reflecting rising market valuation relative to book value.
