The share price of the company exhibited notable fluctuations over the period analyzed. Starting at $83.40 in mid-2005, the price peaked briefly above $117 by mid-2007, followed by a significant decline to $57.36 in mid-2009, reflecting a pronounced downward trend possibly linked to external economic factors affecting the market. A recovery phase ensued, with the share price ascending steadily to reach $171.24 by mid-2015. Despite some volatility, the price continued to trend upward overall, culminating in a peak near $305.02 by mid-2024, before declining to $225.73 in mid-2025. This pattern highlights periods of both volatility and growth within the observed timespan.

Earnings per share (EPS) displayed considerable variability across the years. Beginning at $4.79 in mid-2005, EPS increased to $6.53 by mid-2007 before dropping sharply to $0.31 in mid-2009, indicating a substantial erosion in profitability during that period. Subsequent years saw a recovery, with EPS rising to $11.17 by mid-2017, then sharply increasing to a high of $19.57 in mid-2021. Although there was a moderate decline afterwards, EPS remained elevated, settling around $17.35 in mid-2025. The trajectory suggests resilience and growth in earnings capacity, despite intermittent downturns.

The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio showed significant volatility, reflecting the interplay between share price and earnings fluctuations. The ratio started at 17.42 in 2005, remaining relatively stable until 2008, when it spiked dramatically to 182.81 in mid-2009. This extreme value correlates with the sharp EPS drop during the same period, indicating the market valued the shares highly relative to earnings. Afterward, the P/E ratio generally trended downward, with intermittent peaks, including a notable spike to 82 in mid-2019, again coinciding with a dip in EPS. By mid-2025, the ratio declined to 13.01, suggesting a more balanced valuation relative to earnings. Overall, P/E fluctuations point to varying investor sentiment and earnings performance influences.
