The analysis of the financial data reveals several notable trends and fluctuations over the examined periods.

Share Price
The share price exhibits significant variability, beginning at 37.69 US$ in late 2005 and decreasing to a low of 16.95 US$ by late 2008, likely reflecting broader market conditions or company-specific events. Following this trough, the share price generally trends upward, reaching a peak of 219.05 US$ by late 2024. This upward trajectory is marked by intermittent periods of slower growth or slight declines, such as the decrease observed between 2021 and 2022 from 180.79 US$ to 168.43 US$. The overall long-term increase suggests positive investor confidence and growth prospects over the two-decade span.
Operating Profit Per Share (OPPS)
Operating profit per share shows a more volatile pattern compared to the share price. Starting near 1.41 US$ in 2005, OPPS rose steadily until 2008, peaking at 2.15 US$. A sharp decline occurred in 2009 to 0.98 US$, after which OPPS demonstrates fluctuation without a clear upward trend until a significant surge to 5.08 US$ in 2018. Post-2018, the OPPS experiences volatility again, reaching as high as 7.7 US$ in 2022 before sharply dropping to 4.1 US$ in 2024. These swings indicate fluctuations in operational efficiency, profitability, or extraordinary items affecting earnings.
Price to Operating Profit Ratio (P/OP)
The P/OP ratio, reflecting market valuation relative to operating profit, also fluctuates widely. It started at a high of 26.8 in 2005, dropped substantially to 7.9 in 2008, likely due to the drop in share price and rising operating profits at the time, before spiking dramatically to 56.12 in 2021. Subsequent periods show the ratio decreasing somewhat but remaining elevated, peaking again at 53.48 in 2024. The high P/OP ratios in recent years suggest the market values the company very highly relative to its operating profit, which may indicate expectations of future growth or a premium valuation that could carry risk if earnings do not meet expectations.

Collectively, the data reveal that while the share price has generally increased over the years, operating profit per share has experienced more pronounced volatility. The price to operating profit ratio’s variability reflects changes in market sentiment and valuation multiples, highlighting periods of both relative undervaluation and overvaluation. The data points to a trend of increased investor optimism in recent years despite fluctuations in operating profitability.
