- Share Price Trends
- The share price demonstrated an overall upward trajectory from 2005 to 2024, increasing from $26.31 to $361.07. Initial fluctuations were evident, with prices dipping in 2008 to $31.86 from a prior high of $39.85 in 2007, reflecting potential market or company-specific challenges. Post-2009, the share price generally ascended with notable acceleration between 2015 and 2021, peaking at $341.82. A notable dip occurred in 2022 to $250.07, followed by a recovery in subsequent years, culminating in the highest value recorded in 2024.
- Earnings Per Share (EPS) Evolution
- EPS exhibited consistent growth throughout the period, rising from $1.09 in 2005 to $11.62 in 2024. Some volatility occurred around 2014 and 2017, where EPS slightly decreased or showed less growth compared to surrounding years. However, the general pattern indicated strong and steady profitability improvement over the two decades, underpinning the share price appreciation with an expanding earnings base.
- Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio Behavior
- The P/E ratio showed considerable variability over the years, starting at 24.06 in 2005 and reaching as high as 36.58 in 2021. Notable dips in the ratio were observed in 2008 (13.74) and a more moderate value in 2016 (18.07), suggesting periods where share prices did not rise proportionately with earnings or vice versa. The P/E ratio generally remained within the 15 to 30 range, indicating fluctuating market sentiment and valuation demands, with peaks possibly reflecting optimism or growth expectations around 2021, followed by decreased ratios in the years afterward.
- Interrelation Analysis
- The overall trend of rising EPS supported the increase in share price over the period. The divergence at specific points, such as 2008 and 2022, where share price declined despite EPS growth or stability, indicates external market factors or investor sentiment influencing valuation. Meanwhile, the P/E fluctuations underscore changing market perceptions of growth prospects and risk, with higher ratios coinciding with periods of optimism and lower ratios likely corresponding to market stress or caution.
