- Share Price Trends
- The share price experienced significant volatility over the observed period. It started at $31.45 in early 2006, remaining relatively stable through early 2007 but then declining sharply to a low of $13.23 by early 2009. Subsequently, the share price recovered, reaching a peak of $44.28 in early 2015 before fluctuating again and ending at a high of $46.24 in early 2017. This indicates a recovery phase following the financial crisis period, with an overall upward trend in the latter years.
- Earnings Per Share (EPS) Movement
- EPS showed considerable inconsistency throughout the years. Starting at $1.34 in 2006, EPS declined sharply until 2009, where it reached $0.30. From 2010 to 2015, EPS saw marked improvement, particularly peaking at $8.03 in early 2015. However, there was a sudden reversal thereafter, with EPS dropping into negative territory by early 2016 and remaining negative through early 2017. This volatility suggests significant fluctuations in profitability or extraordinary items affecting earnings during this period.
- Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio Analysis
- The P/E ratio began relatively moderate at 23.52 in 2006 but increased sharply, exceeding 57 in both 2007 and 2008, indicating high investor expectations amid declining earnings. It then gradually decreased to a low of 5.51 by 2015, consistent with the EPS peak and elevated share prices in that year. P/E data is missing for the final two years, which coincides with the negative EPS values, as P/E ratios are typically not reported for losses. The overall pattern reflects a market initially valuing the stock highly despite falling earnings, followed by recalibration as earnings recovered and market conditions normalized.
