Share Price Trend
The share price demonstrated growth from 59.37 US$ in early 2006 to a peak of 110.3 US$ by early 2025, indicating overall appreciation in market value over the period. Notably, there was fluctuation with a decline around 2009 and a significant dip in 2020 to 53.01 US$, likely reflecting external economic pressures. Following this, the price recovered steadily, reaching levels above 100 US$ in the latest years.
Earnings Per Share (EPS) Trend
EPS experienced volatility with values rising from 5.92 US$ in 2006 to a high of 10.02 US$ in 2013. This was followed by declines, including a substantial negative EPS of -5.3 US$ in 2020, possibly linked to broader market or company-specific challenges. Post-2020, EPS showed recovery and growth, peaking at 13.69 US$ in 2023 before a slight drop to 7.76 US$ in 2025. The pattern signals periods of profitability interspersed with challenges and subsequent recovery phases.
Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio Trend
The P/E ratio generally ranged from single digits to around 42.8, with notable spikes reflecting market valuation changes relative to earnings. The ratio was relatively low in 2009 (7.42), coinciding with strong EPS and moderate share price, but peaked dramatically to 42.8 in 2016 when EPS was relatively low. This suggests periods where the market valuation was high relative to earnings, indicating investor optimism or anticipated growth. More recent years show moderate P/E values around 11 to 16, implying balanced market expectations relative to earnings performance.
Overall Insights
The data indicates a cyclical performance pattern with marked sensitivity to economic conditions as reflected in EPS and share price fluctuations. The negative earnings in 2020 and subsequent recovery highlight resilience and the ability to bounce back from downturns. The varying P/E ratios illustrate changing investor sentiment and valuation dynamics over time. Overall, the company has maintained a trend of increasing market capitalization while encountering and recovering from financial challenges.
