Share Price
The share price exhibited a declining trend from US$44.5 in early 2006 down to a low of US$6.84 in early 2009, likely reflecting adverse market conditions or company-specific challenges during that period. Following this trough, there was a significant recovery and growth phase, with the price rising steadily to reach a peak of US$130.55 in early 2018. Thereafter, the share price generally decreased, falling to US$73.67 by early 2022. This recent decline may be related to external shocks or operational difficulties that impacted investor sentiment.
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
EPS showed some volatility over the years. It started at US$3.39 in 2006 and decreased gradually through 2009, reaching a low of US$0.08 in 2013. Thereafter, EPS recovered strongly with a notable increase to US$8.99 by early 2020, indicating improving profitability. However, the following years saw a dramatic drop, with EPS turning deeply negative to -US$24.41 in 2021 and -US$20.63 in 2022, signaling substantial losses likely due to extraordinary events affecting the company’s financial performance.
Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio
The P/E ratio fluctuated widely, reflecting changes in both share price and earnings. Initially, it hovered around 13 between 2006 and 2008, then plummeted to 2.55 in 2009, coinciding with low EPS and share price challenges. A pronounced spike occurred in 2013, with the P/E soaring to 403.53, indicative of extremely low or near-zero earnings and possibly inflated share price valuation. From 2014 to 2020, the P/E ratio stabilized within a range of approximately 10 to 24, consistent with improved earnings and more stable market conditions. The absence of P/E values for 2021 and 2022 corresponds with negative EPS, rendering the ratio undefined.
