The share price of the company exhibits overall growth over the examined period with fluctuations. Starting at $40.38 in 2005, the price saw moderate decreases and increases, peaking around the years 2014 and again in 2024 at $77.20 and $172.99 respectively. Between 2015 and 2017, there was a noticeable decline reaching $53.46, before recovering in subsequent years. The latest data point in 2024 shows a significant rise, indicating strong market performance or investor confidence during that year.
Earnings per share (EPS) demonstrate a substantial variation with an upward trend over the long term. Initially at $1.30 in 2005, EPS increased notably, reaching a peak of $11.54 by 2022. However, there was a sharp drop to -$4.01 in 2018, likely reflecting a loss or exceptional event during that period. After this decline, EPS recovered robustly and showed strong growth, particularly from 2019 onward, which corresponds with increased profitability.
The Price to Earnings (P/E) ratio fluctuates considerably throughout the timeline, reflecting changes in investor expectations and company earnings. Starting at approximately 31 in 2005, it fell to the low teens by the late 2000s, suggesting a higher valuation relative to earnings early on, then becoming more moderate or conservative as earnings improved. Around 2018, the P/E ratio spiked to nearly 32, consistent with the drop in EPS, indicating uncertainty or overvaluation. After this, the ratio generally decreased to below 10 in 2022, signaling a higher earnings yield and potentially undervaluation, before trending slightly upward again by 2024.
Overall, the data reveal a company that experienced volatility in earnings and valuation metrics, but maintained a resilient increase in share price over time. Notable events around 2018 impacted earnings and valuation ratios significantly, but recovery afterward was strong, with both EPS and share price showing marked improvement by 2024.
