Share Price Trend
The share price experienced significant volatility over the analyzed period. Initially, it declined from $44.50 in early 2006 to a low of $6.84 in early 2009, reflecting a considerable downturn. Subsequently, the share price recovered strongly, reaching a peak of $130.55 in early 2018. However, more recently, the share price has exhibited a downward trend, falling to $73.67 by early 2022.
Operating Profit Per Share (OPPS) Trend
Operating profit per share showed fluctuations but generally exhibited growth until 2020. Values increased from around $4.13 in 2006 to a peak of $9.97 in early 2020, indicating improved operational profitability. Nevertheless, a sharp decline occurred from 2020 onwards, with the OPPS turning negative to -$19.37 in early 2021 and slightly improving, though still negative at -$15.18 by early 2022. This suggests significant operational challenges or extraordinary losses in recent years.
Price to Operating Profit Ratio (P/OP)
The P/OP ratio varied widely throughout the period. Early on, ratios ranged roughly between 8.78 and 11.73 from 2006 to 2007, then experienced a sharp drop to as low as 1.76 in early 2009, likely reflecting extremely depressed share price relative to profit. From 2010 to 2016, the ratio generally increased, peaking around 18.32 in early 2016, suggesting high market valuation relative to operating profit during that time. After 2016, the ratio fluctuated and was unavailable post-2020, possibly due to negative operating profits affecting the calculation.
Overall Analysis
The data reveal the company underwent substantial financial impact during the global downturn in 2009, as evidenced by both share price and operating profit metrics. Recovery and growth occurred through the 2010s, culminating in peak valuations and profits by 2018-2020. The downturn in operating profits and share prices post-2020 indicate significant adverse events impacting profitability, likely impairing investor confidence and valuation measures. The large negative operating profit posts indicate either large operational losses or extraordinary charges, contributing to a marked decline in financial health during this recent period.
