The analysis of the financial data reveals notable fluctuations in both share price and operating profit per share over the observed periods.

Share Price Trends
The share price exhibited considerable volatility, beginning at $34.32 and declining to a low of $17.01 by 2009. Subsequently, there was a recovery phase with the price climbing to a peak of $54.88 in 2017. Following this peak, the share price declined again, reaching $31.40 in 2019. The pattern indicates sensitivity to market conditions and possibly internal company performance factors.
Operating Profit Per Share (OPPS)
Operating profit per share showed an overall upward trend from $2.58 in 2006, peaking at $6.00 in 2015. However, after 2015 there was a sharp decline, with negative values recorded in 2016 and 2017 (-$0.19 and -$7.82 respectively), indicating operational challenges. The OPPS partially recovered by 2018 and 2019, reaching $1.56 and $2.83 respectively, but remained below the earlier peak levels.
Price to Operating Profit Ratio (P/OP)
The P/OP ratio varied widely, reflecting changes in both share price and operating profit. Early years showed a range mostly between approximately 7 and 15, with a very low ratio of 3.81 in 2009 coinciding with the lowest share price and a relatively strong OPPS. The ratio data for 2016 and 2017 are missing, likely due to negative OPPS in those years, which would invalidate this ratio. In 2018, the P/OP ratio spiked to 30, likely reflecting a lower OPPS juxtaposed with a relatively high share price, before declining to 11.11 in 2019.

The data suggests a period of growth and profitability leading up to 2015, followed by a phase of operational difficulty as reflected in negative operating profits. The recovery in share price after 2015 may indicate market optimism or other factors beyond operating profit. The volatility in the P/OP ratio underscores the unstable relationship between market valuation and operational earnings during this period.
