The company's share price exhibits a general upward trend over the examined periods, with some fluctuations. From a low of approximately $12.95 in early 2009, the share price increased steadily, reaching a peak of $789.29 in late 2024 before a decrease to $578.92 in early 2025. This suggests significant market confidence and growth potential were perceived, particularly during the latter periods.

Earnings per share (EPS) have shown substantial growth overall, increasing from $0.17 in early 2006 and exhibiting some volatility in early years, including a negative EPS in 2007. From 2009 onward, EPS consistently rose, reaching a notable apex of $37.33 in early 2025. This sharp increase in EPS near the end of the timeline indicates improved profitability and operational efficiency.

The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio fluctuates considerably, reflecting changes in market valuation relative to earnings performance. Initially, the P/E ratio was very high at 90.35 in 2006, suggesting overvaluation or market speculation despite modest EPS. Subsequent years show variability, with ratios generally ranging between approximately 18 and 75, but increasing again to values above 100 in 2021, before declining sharply to 15.51 in early 2025. The recent drop in the P/E ratio despite elevated share prices may reflect the substantial EPS growth, indicating the stock price is becoming more aligned with earnings.

Overall, the data reveals an improving earnings profile accompanied by share price appreciation, albeit with periods of volatility. The significant rise in EPS appears to have contributed to a realignment of market valuation as evidenced by the falling P/E ratio in the most recent period. This combination of growth in profitability and share price suggests strengthening financial performance and a maturing market valuation.
