The analyzed data reveals notable fluctuations and distinct trends in share price, earnings per share (EPS), and the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio over the two-decade period.
- Share Price
- The share price exhibited an overall upward trajectory from 3.61 US$ in 2005 to a peak of 303.77 US$ in 2024, followed by a slight decline to 291.97 US$ in 2025. Early years saw moderate growth with occasional dips, notably a decline in 2009 to 7.72 US$. Since 2012, the share price demonstrated significant volatility, with a remarkable surge between 2012 and 2013 reaching 185.85 US$, followed by fluctuations, and a substantial increase in the early 2020s.
- Earnings Per Share (EPS)
- EPS values showed considerable volatility and periods of negative earnings. Initial years recorded very low positive EPS, with some years of zero or negative values, particularly from 2008 through 2014. There was a noteworthy recovery beginning around 2015 with a positive EPS of 0.25 US$, followed by inconsistent results until a sharp rise to 4.42 US$ in 2021. This was succeeded by a decrease and then an increase to the highest recorded EPS of 6.45 US$ in 2025. The negative EPS periods indicate temporary profitability challenges during the early 2010s.
- P/E Ratio
- The P/E ratio data is incomplete but indicates extremely high valuation multiples in several years. Early data shows extraordinarily high P/E ratios, such as 10,271.1 in 2007, reflecting either very low or near-zero earnings causing inflated multiples. Subsequent years show fluctuating high values with missing data during some mid-period years. Recent years return to somewhat more moderate but still elevated P/E ratios, suggesting the market maintained high expectations of future earnings despite volatility in actual EPS figures.
Overall, the financial data suggests a company experiencing early growth with intermittent profitability challenges, especially in the late 2000s and early 2010s, followed by a recovery phase with strong share price appreciation. The P/E ratio volatility reflects both earnings instability and periods of optimistic market valuation. The steady increase in share price in the latter years alongside improving EPS points to enhanced investor confidence and improved financial performance in the most recent periods.
