- Share Price Trends
- The share price exhibited significant volatility over the observed periods. Initially valued at $23.9 in early 2021, it declined steadily to reach a low of $8.47 by early 2023. Subsequently, the price rebounded sharply, climbing to $23.4 in early 2024 and then surging dramatically to $124.62 by early 2025. This indicates a period of considerable recovery and growth in market valuation following initial declines.
- Earnings Per Share (EPS) Trends
- The EPS values show a clear trend of improvement. EPS started at a negative value of -$0.64 in early 2021, improving to -$0.26 by early 2022 and further to -$0.18 by early 2023. By early 2024, the company achieved a positive EPS of $0.09, which increased slightly to $0.20 in early 2025. This positive trajectory suggests a strengthening profitability position over the period.
- Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio Analysis
- P/E ratio data is available only for the last two periods, showing very high values of approximately 247 in early 2024 and then increasing substantially to over 632 by early 2025. These elevated ratios, combined with the transition to positive EPS, imply high investor expectations for future earnings growth or potentially elevated stock price levels relative to current earnings.
