The financial data exhibits various trends in share price, earnings per share (EPS), and price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio over the observed periods.

Share Price
The share price experienced fluctuations throughout the years. Beginning at $61.89, it reached a peak at $80.61 but subsequently dropped sharply to $38.39 in 2009, likely reflecting broader market or company-specific challenges. From 2009 onward, the price showed recovery and moderate volatility, topping at $108.36 in 2022 before slightly declining to $97.45 in the latest period. This indicates a generally positive long-term trend despite periodic setbacks.
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
EPS fluctuated substantially, with positive values in most years but notable negative earnings in 2009 (-$11.48), 2016 (-$3.58), 2017 (-$2.93), and 2021 (-$1.99). The sharp decline in 2009 aligns with the share price drop, reflecting an adverse financial impact during that period. EPS showed recovery and growth, reaching a peak of $15.33 in 2022, which coincides with the high share price. However, EPS decreased in the most recent year to $7.27, suggesting some volatility in profitability.
Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio
The P/E ratio demonstrated variability with some missing data points, showing an increasing trend in certain years. Early years had relatively low P/E ratios around 6 to 10. The ratio peaked at 14.78 in 2010, decreased afterward, and then varied between 7 and 13 in more recent periods. The absence of P/E data in years where EPS was negative reflects standard valuation practices. The P/E fluctuations, combined with EPS and share price trends, suggest periodic investor uncertainty and changing earnings expectations.

Overall, the data reflects volatile earnings influencing share price movements and valuation multiples. The period around 2009 was particularly challenging, followed by recovery phases. Recent years show higher share prices supported by stronger earnings, although some reversals in EPS indicate continued sensitivity to operational or market factors.
