Share Price
The share price demonstrated an overall upward trend from 2006 through 2014, increasing from $38.29 to a peak of $69.29. After 2014, a significant decline is noted, with the price falling sharply to $39.43 by 2016, indicating heightened volatility and possible market concerns during the latter period.
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
EPS showed a general increase from $1.47 in 2006 to $4.60 in 2015, reflecting consistent growth in profitability. However, there was a marked drop in EPS in 2011 to $2.45, followed by recovery and another decline in 2016 to $1.77. These fluctuations suggest periods of operational challenges or one-time impacts affecting earnings during those years.
Price to Earnings Ratio (P/E)
The P/E ratio mostly trended downward from 2006 to 2012, falling from 25.97 to 14.26, indicating that the stock became relatively cheaper compared to earnings despite increasing EPS. After 2012, the P/E ratio showed variability, rising again to 22.32 by 2016, which might reflect changing investor sentiment or varying expectations of future growth amid the EPS fluctuations.
