Share Price Trends
The share price exhibited significant growth over the observed period, rising from $23.51 in March 2006 to $5018.23 in February 2025. The increase was characterized by periods of rapid appreciation, notably between 2009 and 2014, where the price surged from $83.75 to $1283. This was followed by fluctuations including a dip in 2020 to $1678.2, likely impacted by external economic factors, before resuming an upward trajectory to surpass $5000 by 2025.
Earnings Per Share (EPS) Trends
EPS demonstrated a generally upward trend, increasing from $4.81 in 2006 to $179.25 in 2025. Notable growth was observed between 2009 and 2019, with EPS rising from $4.72 to $88.82. However, there was a significant drop in 2021 to $1.44, suggesting an extraordinary event negatively affected earnings that year. Subsequently, EPS recovered and increased sharply in the following years, reaching $179.25 in 2025.
P/E Ratio Analysis
The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio showed considerable variability over the period. Initially, the ratio fluctuated within a range from approximately 4.89 in 2006 to peaks of over 40 by 2011 and 2017, indicating times when the market priced the company's earnings at a premium. The extremely high P/E of 1696.44 in 2021 corresponds with the dramatic EPS decline that year, reflecting an anomalous valuation scenario. Afterward, the P/E ratio normalized and stabilized around the high 20s to low 30s, consistent with moderate market expectations for earnings growth.
Overall Insights
Over the analyzed time frame, the company experienced substantial capital appreciation and earnings growth, punctuated by a significant earnings drop in 2021 that notably distorted the P/E ratio. Share prices ultimately resumed their upward momentum post-2021, supported by recovering and expanding earnings. The P/E ratio's variations suggest periods of both market optimism and caution. The data implies strong long-term value creation, with transient disruptions impacting short-term financial metrics.
