The analysis of the annual financial data reveals several notable trends in the share price, earnings per share (EPS), and price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio over the period from March 2006 to February 2022.

Share Price
The share price exhibited a general upward trajectory throughout the observed period. Initially, the price fluctuated mildly, hovering around the 30 to 40 US$ range until early 2010. From 2010 onward, there was a pronounced growth phase, accelerating substantially after 2012. By 2022, the share price had increased markedly, reaching approximately 649 US$, indicating strong market confidence and possibly reflecting robust corporate performance or positive market sentiment over the long term.
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
EPS demonstrated consistent and significant growth over the entire period. Starting at 1.46 US$ in 2006, EPS advanced steadily with minor fluctuations, reaching 32.5 US$ by 2022. This trend suggests improving profitability and effective operational performance. Notably, EPS growth accelerated noticeably from around 2010 onwards, paralleling the share price increase and indicative of enhanced earnings generation capacity.
Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio
The P/E ratio showed more variability across the years compared to share price and EPS. It started relatively high at 24.44 in 2006, dropped to a low of about 16.22 in 2008, and then experienced fluctuations with peaks and troughs, mainly ranging between 17 and 27. The P/E ratio’s movement indicates changing market valuation relative to earnings, with occasional periods of higher investor optimism (higher P/E) and relative valuation moderation (lower P/E). By 2022, the ratio stabilized near 20, reflecting a balanced market perception of the company’s earnings potential and share price level.

Overall, the data depict a company with significant and sustained growth in earnings and share price, alongside a P/E ratio that, despite fluctuations, suggests a stable valuation multiple in the latter years. The positive correlation between EPS growth and share price appreciation highlights strong financial performance as a key driver of market value expansion.
