- Share Price Trend
- The share price exhibited notable volatility over the analyzed period. Initially, there was an upward trajectory from $35.70 in 2006 to a peak of $60.95 in 2008. This was followed by a significant decline in 2009 to $30.43, with recovery phases observed between 2010 and 2014, where the price reached an all-time high of $100.03 in 2014. However, from 2015 onwards, the price witnessed a substantial decline, hitting a low of $5.38 in 2020 before partially rebounding to $21.67 by 2022.
- Earnings per Share (EPS) Pattern
- EPS demonstrated a fluctuating pattern with periods of both profitability and losses. Early years showed modest positive earnings, with an initial decrease from $2.17 in 2006 down to $1.2 in 2010. A peak occurred in 2012 at $3.21, but subsequently EPS became highly volatile, turning negative in several years. Notably, large negative spikes were recorded in 2017 (-2.62), 2019 (-8.81), 2020 (-4.78), and continuing into 2022 with -3.07. This shift signifies substantial challenges in profitability in the latter years.
- Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio Developments
- The P/E ratio generally mirrored the fluctuations in share price and EPS, demonstrating high variability. From 2006 through 2011, the P/E ratio ranged between approximately 15 and 37, indicating moderate valuation relative to earnings. In 2013 and 2014, sharp increases occurred, peaking at 102.34 in 2016, mainly attributable to a steep decrease in earnings (EPS near zero or negative), amplifying the ratio. The missing P/E values in later years coincide with negative EPS, which prevents meaningful calculation. Despite some recovery in EPS, the P/E ratio remained undefined or unsustainable in recent years.
- Overall Financial Performance Insight
- The company experienced a cycle of growth and contraction in both market valuation and profitability over the period. Early growth phases gave way to volatility in earnings and valuations, highlighted by a marked deterioration post-2015. The prevailing trend points to prolonged profitability challenges and increased risk perceptions by the market, as reflected in share price and valuation metrics.
