The share price exhibited notable fluctuations over the observed period. Initially, the share price increased from $14.98 in May 2005 to a peak of $19.77 in May 2011, with some intermediate volatility. Subsequently, it experienced a decline, reaching a low point of $15.65 in May 2012, followed by a significant upward trend culminating in a peak of $71.22 in May 2021. However, after this peak, the share price decreased to $66.67 by May 2022, indicating some correction after the rapid increase.

Earnings per share (EPS) displayed considerable variability throughout the years. EPS increased from $0.51 in May 2005 to $1.10 in May 2011, though this period was punctuated by fluctuations, including a sharp decline to $0.32 in May 2013. Post-2013, EPS showed cyclical movements but trended upwards, achieving a high of $2.32 in May 2022, which represents the highest value within the timeframe. The data indicates periods of both growth and contraction in earnings, reflecting possible operational or market challenges affecting profitability.

The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio displayed a highly variable pattern over the years. Initially remaining in the range of approximately 15 to 30 between 2005 and 2012, a sharp spike occurred in the years following, reaching an extreme high of 114.98 in May 2017. Although it declined afterwards, it remained elevated compared to the early years, with values such as 111.51 in May 2021. This elevated P/E indicates that the market placed high growth expectations on the company during these years, despite some fluctuations in earnings. The sharp increase in P/E ratios during certain years reflects a divergence between share price increases and slower growth or declines in EPS.

Overall, the data indicates a company experiencing significant growth in share value, punctuated by periods of earnings volatility. Elevated P/E ratios in later years suggest investor optimism or premium valuation not fully matched by earnings growth until the recent high EPS in May 2022.
