The price-to-book value stands at 15.62x, while the enterprise value to sales ratio is 25.98x. Other valuation multiples such as EV/EBITDA and EV/EBIT are negative, indicating complexities in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation metrics.

The stock’s sustained upward trajectory, supported by strong relative performance against sector and benchmark indices, reflects a combination of positive technical signals and improving financial metrics.
