The analyzed data reveals distinct trends in share price, book value per share (BVPS), and price-to-book value (P/BV) ratio over the observed periods.

Share Price
The share price exhibits an overall upward trajectory from 2005 through 2025, albeit with certain volatility. Starting at $26.31 in late 2005, the price climbs steadily with minor setbacks, notably around 2008 when the price decreased from $39.85 to $31.86, likely reflecting broader market conditions. Post-2009, the price recovers and rises sharply, reaching a peak of $361.07 in 2024 before falling to $240.94 in 2025. This recent dip marks the most significant single-year drop within the data but does not offset the long-term growth trend.
Book Value Per Share (BVPS)
BVPS shows consistent and substantial growth throughout the timeframe. Beginning at $1.97 in 2005, the book value per share steadily increases, reaching $50.28 by 2025. This persistent rise suggests continual accumulation of equity and retained earnings, highlighting a strengthening balance sheet and long-term value creation.
Price-to-Book Value (P/BV) Ratio
The P/BV ratio demonstrates considerable fluctuation, indicating changing market perceptions of the company's valuation relative to its book value. Initially, the ratio is high at 13.33 in 2005, peaking slightly at 14.69 in 2007 before falling sharply to 9.15 in 2008. Over the subsequent years, the ratio stabilizes around the 8 to 11 range with some variation. Notably, the ratio declines steadily from 11.06 in 2021 to 4.79 in 2025, reflecting either a market re-rating or accelerated growth in book value relative to share price. This downward trend in P/BV at the end of the period suggests the share price growth may be moderating relative to underlying equity growth or that the stock is becoming more conservatively valued.

In summary, the company demonstrates strong equity expansion and significant share price appreciation over two decades, with the P/BV ratio indicating periods of high market optimism followed by a more tempered valuation approach in recent years. The fluctuations in share price, especially around 2008 and again near 2024-2025, align with broader market dynamics, while the consistent rise in book value per share portrays robust internal financial strength.
