The analyzed financial data reveals several notable trends and fluctuations over the examined periods.

Share Price
The share price experienced substantial volatility. It began at $17.3 in 2005, then peaked sharply at $122.36 by mid-2008, reflecting a significant market valuation increase. Following this peak, the price declined notably to around $24.4 by early 2016, showing a considerable decrease. Post-2016, the price showed recovery and gradual growth, reaching $45.2 by early 2022, indicating regained investor confidence but still below the 2008 peak.
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
EPS showed a similar pattern of volatility with periods of both growth and decline. It started at $0.42 in 2005 and peaked at $5.63 in 2011. There were several instances of negative EPS during 2006, 2018, and 2020, signaling challenging operating conditions in those years. EPS decreased significantly in 2020 to -$2.82 but recovered to $4.43 by 2022, implying a return to profitability.
Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio
The P/E ratio varied substantially through the periods, reflecting changes in company earnings relative to its share price. It started high at 41.43 in 2005, dropped to single digits during several years such as 2009 and 2016 (10.11 and 8.6 respectively), indicating undervaluation or higher earnings relative to price. The ratio peaked again at 39.73 in 2017, suggesting market optimism or reduced earnings in that year. By 2022, the P/E ratio declined to 10.21, consistent with improved earnings relative to share price.

Overall, the financial indicators depict a cycle of rapid growth until 2008, followed by a correction phase and volatility until 2016. Subsequently, the company demonstrated recovery with profitability improvements and more stable market valuation ratios towards 2022. Negative earnings episodes highlight external or internal challenges influencing profitability during certain intervals.
