The analysis of the financial data reveals several notable trends and patterns across the years.

Share Price
The share price exhibited a generally upward trajectory over the analyzed period, increasing from $22.44 in 2005 to $623.10 in 2024. There were periods of accelerated growth, particularly after 2014, where the share price more than doubled from $84.10 to $219.47 between 2014 and 2018, followed by continued strong appreciation reaching over $600 by 2024. Some fluctuations occurred, such as a dip from $567.59 in 2021 to $420.06 in 2022, but recovery and subsequent growth followed.
Earnings per Share (EPS)
EPS showed a consistent growth trend over the years, increasing from $1.07 in 2005 to $10.57 in 2024. Despite an anomalous decline in 2014 to $1.32, EPS quickly rebounded in subsequent years. The steady rise in EPS indicates improving profitability and earnings performance over time. The growth trend aligns with the increase in share price, supporting the company’s valuation expansion.
Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio
The P/E ratio demonstrated more volatility compared to share price and EPS. Initially ranging between approximately 20 and 27 until 2014, it spiked significantly to 63.89 in 2014 amidst a decline in EPS, indicating a temporary re-rating or market optimism despite lower earnings. After 2014, the P/E ratio remained elevated relative to earlier years, fluctuating mostly between 29 and 75. The highest P/E ratios correspond with periods of rapid share price appreciation and slower EPS growth, suggesting heightened investor expectations or valuation multiples.

Overall, the financial data illustrates a company with substantial share price appreciation driven by consistently improving earnings, albeit with occasional fluctuations in market valuation multiples. The strong EPS growth underpins the long-term value increase, while the elevated and volatile P/E ratios reflect shifts in market sentiment and expectation during the period.
