Price to Earnings (P/E) Ratio
The P/E ratio exhibited considerable volatility over the five-year period. It started at a low of 2.33 in 2015, increasing steadily to 6.13 in 2016. A sharp rise occurred in 2017, reaching 38.21, followed by a notable decline to 10.17 in 2018. Subsequently, the ratio surged dramatically to 78.84 in 2019. This pattern suggests fluctuating market expectations regarding the company’s earnings growth and profitability perceptions over the years.
Price to Operating Profit (P/OP) Ratio
The P/OP ratio showed a general upward trend from 3.09 in 2015 to 6.92 in 2016. A substantial spike appeared in 2017, climbing steeply to 102.35. However, there was a sharp correction in 2018, where the ratio fell back to 7.23. Data for 2019 is missing, limiting interpretation for the most recent year. The extreme volatility could indicate either significant changes in operating profit margins or shifts in market valuation of operating performance during this period.
Price to Sales (P/S) Ratio
The P/S ratio generally increased over the period analyzed. Starting at a low point of 0.35 in 2015, it grew steadily to 0.51 in 2016 and 0.89 in 2017. A decline occurred in 2018 to 0.45, but this was followed by a strong rebound to 1.83 in 2019, marking the highest value in the series. This upward trend suggests increasing investor valuation relative to sales, possibly reflecting market optimism about revenue growth or improving sales quality.
Price to Book Value (P/BV) Ratio
The P/BV ratio displayed a fluctuating pattern with no clear directional trend. Values rose from 0.68 in 2015 to 0.94 in 2016, dropped significantly to 0.56 in 2017, and then further declined to 0.41 in 2018. In 2019, it rose again to 0.96, nearly matching the 2016 peak. This variability may reflect changes in the company’s asset base valuation, book value adjustments, or shifts in market sentiment concerning the company’s net asset worth.

Share Price Trend
The share price exhibited a rising trend from 46.01 US$ in 2015 to a peak of 71.85 US$ in 2017, followed by a decline to 52 US$ in 2018 and a slight recovery to 53.1 US$ in 2019. This indicates initial investor optimism which moderated in the later years.
Earnings per Share (EPS) Trend
The EPS showed significant volatility over the period. It started at 19.72 US$ in 2015, then declined substantially to 9.84 US$ in 2016 and further to 1.88 US$ in 2017. A moderate recovery to 5.11 US$ occurred in 2018, but it dropped sharply again to 0.67 US$ in 2019. This fluctuation suggests earnings instability and potential operational or market challenges.
Price to Earnings Ratio (P/E) Analysis
The P/E ratio increased markedly from a low of 2.33 in 2015 to a high of 78.84 in 2019, with significant spikes in 2017 and 2019. This pattern largely reflects the declining EPS while the share price did not decrease proportionally, resulting in high valuation multiples. The elevated P/E in 2019 indicates that the market price was high relative to reduced earnings, possibly signaling overvaluation or expectations of future improvement.
Overall Insights
The data reveal a company experiencing considerable earnings difficulties alongside volatile market valuation. The rising share price until 2017 followed by a decline in the subsequent years, coupled with dwindling earnings, implies increased investor uncertainty. The elevated and fluctuating P/E ratios suggest market expectations may not be aligned with current earnings performance, highlighting potential risk and the necessity for cautious analysis of future prospects.

Share Price Trend
The share price exhibited a general upward trend from 2015 to 2017, increasing significantly from $46.01 to $71.85. However, in 2018, the share price declined sharply to $52, followed by a slight recovery to $53.1 in 2019. This suggests some volatility in market valuation during this period, with a peak reached in 2017 and subsequent adjustment.
Operating Profit Per Share Trend
Operating profit per share showed a declining trend over the analyzed period. Starting from a relatively high value of $14.87 in 2015, it dropped notably to $8.7 in 2016 and further plummeted to $0.7 in 2017. Although there was some improvement in 2018, reaching $7.19, the figure turned slightly negative in 2019, with a value of -$0.06. This pattern indicates a significant deterioration in operational profitability per share, with a brief recovery followed by a downturn to near zero and then negative territory.
Price to Operating Profit Ratio (P/OP)
The P/OP ratio demonstrated considerable fluctuation. It started at 3.09 in 2015, more than doubling to 6.92 in 2016. In 2017, the ratio skyrocketed to 102.35, reflecting the sharp fall in operating profit per share during that year. The ratio stabilized somewhat in 2018 at 7.23, aligning with the partial recovery in operating profit per share but was not available for 2019. The extreme peak in 2017 indicates an overvaluation relative to operating earnings or significant operational challenges during this year.
Overall Analysis
Overall, the data portray a company experiencing significant operational challenges over the five-year period. Profitability per share has dramatically decreased, turning negative in the latest year recorded, which raises concerns about earnings quality and operational efficiency. The share price trend, while initially positive, shows increased volatility and a loss of momentum after 2017. The P/OP ratio's extreme variation emphasizes the instability in operational profits, highlighting a period of heightened risk or market uncertainty. This combination of declining profitability and volatile stock performance suggests a need for strategic review and possibly actions to improve operational effectiveness.

The financial data reveals several noteworthy trends over the five-year period analyzed.

Share Price
The share price demonstrated an overall upward trajectory from 2015 through 2017, rising from $46.01 to a peak of $71.85. However, in 2018, the share price declined significantly to $52, followed by a slight recovery to $53.10 in 2019.
Sales per Share
Sales per share experienced a downward trend with some fluctuations. Initially, it decreased from $130.99 in 2015 to $119.07 in 2016, followed by a more pronounced drop to $80.49 in 2017. In 2018, there was a recovery to $114.39, but this was not sustained, as sales per share sharply declined to $29.09 in 2019.
Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio
The P/S ratio shows a general pattern of increasing valuation relative to sales. Starting at 0.35 in 2015, it rose steadily to 0.89 in 2017. Despite a decrease to 0.45 in 2018, it surged to 1.83 in 2019, reflecting a higher market valuation compared to the sales generated per share.

Overall, the share price movements and P/S ratio suggest varying market perceptions of value, with increased investor willingness to pay for sales despite the mixed performance in sales per share. The sharp decline in sales per share in 2019 contrasts with the increased P/S ratio, indicating potential market optimism or other factors influencing valuation beyond current sales metrics.

The financial data indicates several notable trends and fluctuations over the analyzed periods.

Share Price
The share price exhibited a general upward trend initially, rising from $46.01 in 2015 to a peak of $71.85 in 2017. However, it declined sharply in 2018 to $52, followed by a slight increase to $53.10 in 2019. This pattern suggests volatility in market valuation with significant gains early on, then a marked drop, and stabilization thereafter.
Book Value per Share (BVPS)
The book value per share showed substantial growth from 2015 through 2017, ascending from $68.14 to a notably higher $129.23. This was followed by a slight decrease to $125.83 in 2018, then a significant decline to $55.43 in 2019. The sharp drop in 2019 may reflect underlying changes in the company's equity or asset base.
Price-to-Book Value Ratio (P/BV)
The P/BV ratio ranged between 0.41 and 0.96 across the years. Initially, the ratio increased from 0.68 in 2015 to 0.94 in 2016, indicating the share price approaching the book value per share. Thereafter, it declined to a low of 0.41 in 2018, suggesting that the market price fell well below the book value, before rising again to 0.96 in 2019. This fluctuation might signify varying investor confidence and market perception of the company's value relative to its book equity.
