- Share Price Trend
- The share price exhibited fluctuations over the analyzed period. Initially, it decreased from $32.95 in 2011 to a low around $26.46 in 2012, then generally increased with intermittent declines. Peaks were observed in 2018 at $41.86 and again in 2021 at $54.88. However, the price declined after 2021, reaching $38.15 in early 2024 before rising to $50.04 in 2025. Overall, the share price demonstrated periods of both volatility and recovery.
- Earnings Per Share (EPS) Trend
- EPS showed notable volatility, including both positive gains and a significant negative value. It increased initially from $2.99 in 2011 to a peak of $6.29 in 2017 but then dropped sharply to -$2.77 in 2018, indicating a loss that year. Subsequently, EPS rebounded strongly, reaching $8.68 in 2024, the highest in the period, followed by a moderate decline to $7.23 in 2025. This indicates a recovery in profitability after a temporary downturn.
- Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio Trend
- The P/E ratio demonstrated a broad range of values, reflecting varying market valuations and earnings performance. It started at 11.02 in 2011, dropped to a low of 4.39 in 2024, signaling increased earnings relative to price or market undervaluation. The ratio spiked to 20.58 in 2015, indicating higher price levels relative to earnings, and showed intermittent rises and falls thereafter. Missing data in 2018 corresponds with the EPS loss, making the P/E calculation undefined for that year.
- Overall Observations
- The data indicates periods of earnings volatility impacting market valuation and share price. A significant loss in 2018 disrupted trends but was followed by recovery in subsequent years. Share price movements generally correlated with EPS changes, though the P/E ratio varied in reflecting investor expectations and earnings quality. The overall pattern shows resilience and recovery following earnings challenges.
