The financial data reveals several notable trends in share price, earnings per share (EPS), and price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio over the analyzed periods from 2005 to 2024.
- Share Price (US$)
- The share price exhibited considerable volatility throughout the years. Initially, it showed a slight downward trend from $18.99 in 2005 to a low of $10.45 in 2008, likely influenced by the broader market conditions at that time. From 2009 onward, the price experienced significant fluctuations, with a notable surge beginning in 2013, reaching an all-time high of approximately $169.35 by 2024. This upward trajectory, particularly pronounced from 2015 onward, indicates strong market confidence and positive investor sentiment over the latter part of the timeline.
- Earnings Per Share (EPS) (US$)
- EPS numbers showed variability with periods of decline and recovery. The EPS started at $0.75 in 2005, increasing steadily to $1.24 in 2007 before declining significantly to negative territory (-$0.23) in 2009, signaling a period of financial difficulty or reduced profitability. From 2010 onwards, EPS trended upward with some fluctuations, achieving consistent growth after 2014. By 2024, EPS reached $8.82, reflecting improved profitability and operational performance over the long term.
- Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio
- The P/E ratio demonstrated significant variability, reflecting changes in market expectations and earnings performance. After starting at 25.22 in 2005, the ratio generally declined until 2007, then experienced wide variations, including an undefined or missing value in 2009, possibly due to negative earnings. A notable spike occurred in 2012 with a P/E ratio of 118.67, indicative of a market premium despite low earnings that year. Subsequent years showed a normalization of the P/E ratio with fluctuations ranging mostly between 15 and 25, and a decline to 13.55 in 2022, possibly suggesting improved earnings relative to share price. By 2024, the P/E ratio stabilized near 19.2, consistent with typical industry valuation standards.
Overall, the interplay between rising share prices and improving EPS suggests strengthening financial health and enhanced investor confidence over the period. The fluctuations in the P/E ratio highlight periods of market uncertainty and valuation adjustments. The data underscores significant recovery following the 2008 financial downturn and sustained growth momentum in recent years.
