The financial data reveals notable fluctuations in key market indicators over the nearly two-decade period under review. The share price demonstrates an overall cyclical pattern with periods of increase followed by declines, reflecting varying market conditions and company performance.

Share Price
The share price began at approximately $46 in early 2006 and experienced a significant rise to reach a peak above $104 by early 2012. Following this peak, the price showed volatility with a general downward trend hitting lows near $26 by early 2021. A partial recovery ensued thereafter with the price climbing back to nearly $59 by early 2023 before declining again to below $49 in the earliest period of 2025 observed. This pattern indicates exposure to market cycles and possibly commodity price shifts affecting company valuation.
Earnings per Share (EPS)
EPS values display considerable variability, including periods of positive earnings interspersed with losses. Starting at $6.56 in 2006, EPS fluctuated, achieving highs above $8.35 in 2012 and 8.46 in 2009, but also registering negative earnings in the post-2014 period with significant troughs reaching as low as -$16.83 in 2021. The data suggests episodic profitability challenges, likely reflecting operational or market headwinds. Notably, a recovery trend in EPS is seen after 2021, with a rise to $13.89 in early 2024 before tapering to $2.53 by early 2025.
Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio
The P/E ratio exhibits wide discrepancies corresponding to volatility in earnings and share prices. Early values ranged from around 7 to 22, signaling varying investor expectations. The ratio peaked dramatically to nearly 100 around 2015 when EPS fell sharply negative, rendering some P/E computations unavailable or skewed. Subsequent ratios reflected recovery phases, dipping to lows near 4.24 by 2023 and rising again to 19.28 by 2025. These fluctuations suggest that valuation multiples were highly sensitive to earnings instability and market sentiment.

In summary, the data presents a company experiencing periods of robust share price appreciation and distributions of strong earnings alongside challenging intervals marked by substantial losses and valuation volatility. The cyclical nature of financial outcomes and market pricing implies influence from external economic or sector-specific factors as well as internal performance dynamics. Recent trends indicate some earnings recovery accompanied by moderate share price adjustments, suggesting cautious investor optimism amid ongoing operational uncertainties.
