- Share Price Trends
- The share price demonstrated a general upward trajectory from 2006 to 2025, rising from $8.47 to $193.30. Notable increases include the jump from $29.67 in early 2014 to $54.03 in early 2018, and another significant rise from $72.35 in 2020 to $148.04 in 2022. Despite fluctuations, including a dip from $148.04 in 2022 to $105.22 in 2023, the overall long-term trend reflects substantial capital appreciation.
- Earnings per Share (EPS) Development
- The EPS showed steady growth across the periods analyzed. Starting at $0.12 in 2006, it gradually increased with minor interruptions, reaching $8.21 by early 2025. There were some irregularities, such as a dip to $0.91 in 2018 following consistent increases to $1.41 in 2017. The growth from 2.99 in 2021 to 5.75 in 2022 is notable, followed by a slight decrease and subsequent recovery. The strong EPS growth supports the company's profitability expansion over time.
- Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio Analysis
- The P/E ratio exhibited significant volatility, ranging from a high of 68.72 in 2006 to lows around 18.97 in 2012, indicating varying market sentiment and valuation perceptions. Peaks occurred in 2018 with a ratio of 59.34, suggesting potentially overvalued share prices relative to earnings at that time. More recent years show stabilization in the mid-20s range, with values around 23.54 in 2025, indicating a market adjustment to earnings gains.
- Overall Financial Insights
- The data reflects a company with strong earnings expansion corroborated by substantial increases in share price over nearly two decades. Fluctuations in P/E ratios suggest phases of market adjustment, oscillating between high investor optimism and more conservative valuations. The general trend of rising EPS alongside increasing share prices, with some short-term volatility, points to improving operational performance and investor confidence over the reviewed periods.
