- Share Price
- The share price exhibited notable volatility over the analyzed period. Initially, it showed a moderate increase from $73.20 in February 2006 to $79.95 in February 2008, followed by a sharp decline to $47.42 in February 2009, reflecting a significant downturn likely correlated with broader market conditions. Subsequently, the share price recovered strongly, reaching a peak of $222.89 in February 2018. Afterward, fluctuations were observed, including decreases and relative stabilization, with the price closing at $163.64 in February 2022.
- Earnings Per Share (EPS)
- Earnings per share demonstrated a general upward trend throughout the period. Starting at $4.24 in February 2006, EPS gradually increased with minor fluctuations, reaching $10.37 by February 2022. A temporary decrease occurred in February 2009 to $4.99, consistent with the share price decline in the same period, but earnings recovered steadily thereafter. The consistent increase in EPS indicates operational improvements or effective earnings growth over time.
- Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio
- The P/E ratio displayed considerable variability. It started at 17.28 in February 2006, declined to a low of 9.51 in February 2009, coinciding with the share price drop and EPS dip during the economic downturn. Following this, the ratio generally trended upwards, peaking at 27.32 in February 2018, suggesting increased market valuation relative to earnings. After 2018, the P/E ratio declined gradually to 15.78 by February 2022, potentially indicating a market reassessment of relative valuation or expectations for future earnings growth.
- Overall Trends and Insights
- The data indicates a clear impact of economic cycles, particularly around 2008-2009, with both share price and earnings affected. Post-recession recovery is evident with sustained earnings growth and recovery in share price, culminating in the highest market valuation in 2018. The subsequent decline in the P/E ratio despite rising EPS suggests a potential market correction or moderated investor expectations. The firm's financial performance, as measured by earnings, has improved substantially over the long term, which is also reflected in the overall increased share price despite intermittent volatility.
