Share Price
The share price exhibited significant fluctuations over the observed period. Initially, there was a decline from 37.69 USD to 16.95 USD within three years, reaching a low point in late 2008. Subsequently, the price generally followed an upward trend with some variations, rising to 252.02 USD by late 2025. Notable increases occurred particularly after 2014, with the share price more than quadrupling from 55.64 USD to over 250 USD in the following decade. There were minor setbacks, such as a dip in 2022 to 168.43 USD, but the long-term trajectory remained positive with robust growth.
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
EPS demonstrated notable volatility throughout the period. Early years featured moderate growth, reaching a peak of 2.7 USD in 2008 before a sharp decline to 0.85 USD in 2009. From 2010 onward, EPS fluctuated with periods of growth and decline, including a significant drop in 2017 to 1.97 USD after reaching 2.8 USD in 2016. The year 2018 saw a strong increase in EPS to 4.04 USD, followed by continued fluctuations. Notably, EPS peaked at 6.68 USD in 2022 before declining again in subsequent years. This pattern suggests cycles of profitability and temporary setbacks, reflecting variability in operational performance or market conditions.
Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio
The P/E ratio displayed considerable variation over the years, indicating changing market valuations relative to earnings. Early in the period, the ratio decreased from 33.33 to a low of 6.28 in 2008, reflecting lower share prices or elevated earnings at that time. After 2008, the ratio generally increased with intermittent declines. It reached a peak of 68.31 in 2021, signifying heightened investor expectation or potential overvaluation. The P/E ratio fluctuated substantially thereafter, dipping below 30 and then rising again above 50 by 2025. The wide P/E range indicates varying investor sentiment and possible market volatility impacting valuation metrics.
Summary of Trends and Insights
The data reveal a company with a historically volatile but ultimately growth-oriented financial trajectory. The share price demonstrated resilience and considerable appreciation over the long term despite some interruptions. EPS patterns highlight phases of strong profitability as well as abrupt downturns, suggesting sensitivity to external economic factors or internal challenges. The P/E ratio movements point to shifts in market perceptions, sometimes pricing the stock at a premium relative to earnings. The combined analysis of these key metrics suggests a dynamic market environment with earnings variability balanced by investor confidence in long-term growth potential.
