The share price of the company exhibited a generally upward trajectory from 2006 through 2021, increasing from $34.39 to a peak near $58.20 in early 2020. Notable fluctuations occurred during this period, with a decline around 2009 to approximately $28.57 and a significant rise between 2012 and 2013. After reaching its peak in 2020, the share price experienced a marked decline through early 2023, dropping to approximately $39.72 before a modest recovery to $40.53 in early 2025.
Earnings per share (EPS) showed considerable volatility over the analyzed years. Initially, EPS decreased from $2.53 in 2006 to a low of $0.31 in 2013, indicating challenges in profitability or earnings stability. Subsequently, a strong recovery is evident, with EPS peaking at $7.38 in early 2018. Following this, values fluctuated but generally remained elevated above $2.70, reflecting periods of both growth and correction. The EPS stood at $4.16 in early 2025, suggesting a stabilized performance relative to earlier years.
The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio demonstrated significant variation, corresponding with changes in both share price and EPS. The ratio fluctuated broadly, rising to extreme levels such as approximately 150.66 in 2013, indicative of either a temporary drop in earnings or heightened market valuation expectations. Periods of lower P/E ratios, such as around 6.54 in 2018, suggest either undervaluation or improved earnings relative to share price. The P/E ratio as of early 2025 was below 10, suggesting a relatively moderate valuation compared to earnings.
- Share Price Trends
- Gradual increase from 2006 to 2020 with intermittent fluctuations; notable peak in 2020 followed by a pronounced decline and slight recovery.

- Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio Movements
- Wide fluctuations from modest to extremely high values, reflecting changing investor expectations and earnings performance; recent values suggest more balanced market valuation.
