The analysis of the financial data reveals several notable trends across the periods observed.

Share Price
The share price generally demonstrated a strong upward trend from 2006 through 2015, rising from $45.50 to a peak of $391.12 in 2015. This represents a significant appreciation over this period. However, after 2015, the share price exhibited a declining pattern, dropping notably to $220.17 by 2022. Despite some fluctuations, the overall trend after 2015 was downward, reflecting potential challenges or changing market perceptions.
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
The EPS showed a consistent growth trajectory from 2006 through 2020, increasing from $0.47 to a high of $33.83 in 2020. This steady increase suggests improving profitability and operational efficiency during this timeframe. After 2020, EPS declined substantially to $10.59 in 2022, indicating a significant reduction in earnings performance in the most recent years, which may warrant further investigation to understand underlying factors.
Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio
The P/E ratio displayed considerable volatility across the years. Early on, it decreased from a high of 97.42 in 2006 to a more moderate range between approximately 15 and 30 in the subsequent years. The ratio peaked again at 38.21 in 2014 before declining to below 10 by 2020, suggesting that the market priced earnings more conservatively in later years despite strong EPS growth. Following 2020, the P/E ratio increased again to 20.79 by 2022, likely reflecting the sharp EPS decline combined with relative share price movements.

In summary, the data reflects a period of robust growth in both share price and earnings until about 2015–2020, followed by a marked decrease in both metrics in the latest years. The fluctuating P/E ratio suggests changing investor sentiment and valuation dynamics, possibly influenced by market conditions, company performance changes, or sector-specific developments.
