The analysis of annual financial data reveals several notable trends over the periods presented. The share price exhibited significant volatility, initially increasing from 32.85 US$ in March 2020 to 54.40 US$ in March 2021. This was followed by a decline to approximately 34 US$ in 2022 and 2023, before rising sharply to a peak of 81.39 US$ in February 2024, then slightly decreasing to 79.42 US$ in February 2025.

The earnings per share (EPS) demonstrate a marked improvement over the years. The company recorded negative EPS throughout the earlier periods, starting at -4.93 US$ in March 2020 and improving progressively to -0.25 US$ in February 2022. Although a decline to -4.55 US$ occurred in February 2023, EPS shifted positively in the last two years, reaching 0.91 US$ in February 2024 and significantly increasing to 4.72 US$ in February 2025. This positive turnaround suggests a substantial enhancement in profitability or operational performance in recent years.

P/E ratios were not reported for the earlier periods but became available in the last two years. In February 2024, the P/E ratio stood at a high level of 89.56, indicating investors were willing to pay a premium for the company's earnings, possibly due to expectations of future growth. By February 2025, the P/E ratio decreased to 16.83, reflecting a relative valuation adjustment, which could be attributable to the strong EPS growth diluting the previously high valuation multiples.
