The data reflects notable fluctuations in share price, earnings per share (EPS), and price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio over the observed periods.

Share Price
The share price exhibits an overall upward trend from 29.76 US$ in March 2005 to 218.2 US$ as of June 2024. There are several periods of volatility including a peak at 45.1 US$ in June 2007, a significant dip to 13.39 US$ by March 2009, and a pronounced increase beginning in 2016, culminating in a high of 261.5 US$ by March 2021. Subsequently, the share price decreased to 188.7 US$ in March 2022 before gradually rising again to 218.2 US$ by mid-2024.
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
EPS fluctuated notably, starting at 0.97 US$ in 2005 and showing increases and decreases through the years. Noteworthy is the period of negative EPS observed from 2015 to 2019, with the lowest point around -2.64 US$ in 2017. Post-2019, EPS improved significantly to 5.5 US$ in 2021, though it declined again to 2.29 US$ in 2022 before rising towards 4.21 US$ in 2024. These variations suggest periods of profitability volatility, with a recovery after a phase of losses.
Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio
The P/E ratio displays considerable instability across the periods. Early years show moderate ratios around 20 to 35, indicating relatively stable valuations. There is a dramatic spike to 115.08 noted in 2010, reflecting either a share price increase or depressed earnings. The ratio reaches an extreme high of 171.18 in 2014, coinciding with negative EPS, which likely distorts this measure. Ratios are absent for several years following. In more recent years, the P/E ratio ranges mostly between 47 and 83, reflecting higher share prices and recovering earnings. Overall, the P/E ratio suggests varying investor sentiment and earnings performance over time.

In summary, the company experienced significant financial volatility in the mid-2010s, with negative earnings and inflated P/E ratios. More recently, recovery in earnings and a strong share price performance suggest improving financial health, albeit with continued fluctuations in valuation metrics. The data indicates cyclical trends consistent with operational challenges followed by phases of recovery and growth.
