- Share Price Trends
- The share price displayed a general upward trajectory from 2005 through 2021, increasing from $26.31 to a peak of $341.82. Despite this overall rise, there were periods of volatility, notably a decline in 2008 and significant fluctuations between 2021 and 2025. After reaching its peak in 2021, the share price dropped sharply to $250.07 in 2022, rebounded to $361.07 in 2024, and then declined again to $240.94 by 2025, indicating increased market uncertainty or other influencing factors during these years.
- Earnings Per Share (EPS) Development
- EPS exhibited a consistent increase throughout the entire period, rising from $1.09 in 2005 to $12.38 in 2025. This upward trend indicates steady growth in profitability on a per-share basis. Despite minor fluctuations, such as a slight dip around 2013-2015, the overall pattern was one of sustained improvement, with notable acceleration in growth after 2010.
- Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio Analysis
- The P/E ratio showed more variability compared to share price and EPS. Early on, it rose to a peak around 27 in 2006, then dropped sharply to about 13.74 in 2008, reflecting market adjustments possibly related to economic conditions affecting the valuation. From 2009 onwards, the P/E oscillated mainly between 15 and 30, with a marked peak at 36.58 in 2021, suggesting heightened investor optimism or higher expectations for future earnings at that time. The ratio decreased notably by 2025 to 19.47, signifying a more moderate valuation relative to earnings.
- Overall Insights
- The company has demonstrated robust earnings growth over the analyzed period, which generally corresponded with share price appreciation. Variability in the P/E ratio suggests fluctuating investor sentiment and market conditions, especially around major economic events. Recent years show greater volatility in share price, while earnings continued to grow steadily, potentially signalling a reassessment of risk or changes in market dynamics impacting the company's valuation.
