Share Price
The share price exhibited a strong upward trend from 2015 to 2021, increasing from $32.84 to a peak of $401.55. However, starting in 2022, the share price declined, falling to $327.72 and then further to $307.45 in 2023. This suggests a significant rally over several years, followed by a recent correction or consolidation phase.
Earnings per Share (EPS)
EPS showed consistent growth throughout the entire period, rising from $0.11 in 2015 to $4.86 in 2023. There was a steady and generally accelerating increase, with a minor dip observed in 2021 where EPS decreased from $3.13 to $2.48, before resuming a strong upward trajectory.
Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio
The P/E ratio fluctuated substantially over the years. It started extremely high at 312.27 in 2015, then dropped sharply to ranges around 69 to 97 between 2016 and 2020. It spiked again to 161.62 in 2021, coinciding with the EPS dip, then retreated to lower levels of 97.02 in 2022 and 63.23 in 2023. The volatility in P/E suggests changing market sentiment and valuation adjustments, possibly reflecting investor expectations relative to earnings performance.
