Share Price Trend
The share price exhibits an overall upward trend over the period from 2005 to 2025. Starting at $13.29 in 2005, it shows gradual increments with minor fluctuations. Notable dips occur around 2012 and 2018 where prices decreased from previous highs. Significant acceleration in share price growth is observed from 2022 onwards, reaching a peak of $210.87 in 2025, indicating a marked increase in market valuation in recent years.
Earnings Per Share (EPS) Trend
EPS demonstrates a generally positive trend with some variability. Beginning at $0.56 in 2005, EPS rises steadily to around $2.46 by 2014, then experiences a temporary decline to $0.96 in 2018. After this dip, EPS sharply increases to a peak of $4.92 in 2021 before experiencing a decrease again in 2022 to $2.52. From 2022 to 2025, EPS recovers moderately, ending at $4.43. This pattern suggests periods of fluctuating profitability with strong growth phases interspersed with downturns.
Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio Trend
The P/E ratio shows considerable volatility across the reported years. Initially stable around 23 to 24 in the early years, it declines gradually to approximately 13-16 during 2011 to 2014. A significant spike occurs in 2018, reaching an elevated ratio of 45.9, followed by a sharp decline in subsequent years. After 2018, the P/E ratio exhibits increased fluctuation, peaking again at 47.6 in 2025. These fluctuations reflect market revaluation and investor expectations, with particularly high P/E ratios suggesting periods of heightened market optimism relative to earnings.
Combined Financial Insights
Over the two-decade span, the company’s share price and EPS generally trend upward, indicative of growth in both market value and profitability. However, the volatility in EPS and P/E ratio points to episodic market uncertainty and variable earnings performance. The high P/E ratios in recent years, alongside rising share prices, may imply that investors anticipate continued earnings growth or hold optimistic future outlooks despite some earnings fluctuations. The dip in EPS during 2018 and subsequent recovery suggests temporary challenges that the company managed to overcome effectively.
