- Share Price
- The share price exhibited notable fluctuations over the examined periods. Initially, there was a general upward trend from US$80.24 in February 2006 to a peak near US$199.14 by February 2013. Following this peak, the price experienced a decline, reaching a low point around US$120.71 in February 2021. Subsequently, a significant recovery ensued, climbing sharply to US$257.75 by February 2025. Overall, the data reflects periods of volatility, with a strong recovery in the most recent years.
- Earnings Per Share (EPS)
- The EPS values showed an increasing trend from US$5.06 in 2006 to a high point of US$15.83 in 2014. Post-2014, there was a considerable decrease in EPS, reaching lows around US$1.81 in 2023. Some recovery is observed toward the end of the period, with EPS increasing to US$6.5 in 2025, though this remains below earlier peak levels. The EPS trend suggests considerable earnings variability and potential challenges impacting profitability after 2014.
- Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio
- The P/E ratio largely fluctuated over the analyzed timeframe. Early values ranged between approximately 14 and 16 until 2014, indicating stable market valuation relative to earnings. A spike to 25.07 occurred in 2018, followed by a sharp decline and a subsequent dramatic increase to 71.56 in 2023, coinciding with the trough in EPS. The P/E ratio then lowered to 22.5 in 2024 but rose again to 39.68 in 2025. These variations suggest significant market revaluation, partly driven by volatile earnings performance and investor sentiment, especially during periods of lower earnings.
