Share Price
The share price experienced fluctuations during the reported years. Initially, there was a steady increase from $36.61 in 2005 to a peak of $55.10 in 2010. This was followed by a decline to $48.31 in 2011, after which the price stabilized around the high 40s. From 2012 onwards, the share price showed a general upward trajectory, reaching a high of $73.07 in 2019. Despite some volatility, the overall long-term trend indicates growth in the market valuation of the company.
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
EPS showed a general upward trend, increasing from $1.73 in 2005 to a peak of $4.14 in 2014. After 2014, EPS experienced some volatility, with a notable dip to $2.37 in 2018 before rising again to $3.79 in 2019. This pattern indicates periods of fluctuating profitability but with an overall positive trend in earnings over the analyzed period.
Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio
The P/E ratio fluctuated significantly across the years. It started at 21.15 in 2005 and showed a downward trend to a low of 10.97 in 2008, which may reflect either a decrease in share price or an increase in earnings. After 2008, the ratio tended to rise again, peaking at 25.48 in 2017, followed by a decline to around 19.3 in 2019. This variability suggests changing market perceptions of growth prospects and risk associated with the company over time.
