The share price over the analyzed period exhibits significant volatility with distinct phases. Initially, from 2005 to 2009, the share price shows a general decline, reaching a low point near 11 US$ in 2009. From 2009 onward, there is a recovery and gradual appreciation, marked by notable increases between 2012 and 2015, peaking around 79.61 US$. After a dip in 2016 and relatively stable levels between 2017 and 2019, the share price again declines in 2020 and 2022. However, the period ends with a sharp rise to 295.05 US$ by 2024, indicating a strong bullish trend in the most recent years.
Earnings per share (EPS) show a steady upward trajectory over the years with some fluctuations. From a lower base of 1.66 US$ in 2005, EPS generally increases, except for a notable dip in 2009 aligning with the share price decline at the same time. There is a consistent pattern of growth particularly from 2010 onward, reaching a peak of 17.03 US$ in 2023 before a slight decline to 14.81 US$ in 2024. This indicates improving profitability and earnings performance overall, with a small correction in the latest year.
The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio fluctuates considerably, reflecting the interplay between market price and earnings growth. Initially high in 2005–2006, P/E ratio decreases until 2008 but spikes dramatically in 2009, coinciding with the share price bottom and low EPS, indicative of market uncertainty or lower confidence then. Post-2009, the ratio trends downwards with intermittent rises, reaching lows under 10 in 2020 and 2023, reflecting periods where earnings growth outpaces share price gains. However, abrupt increases in P/E toward 2024 suggest changes in market expectations or price adjustments relative to earnings.
Overall, the data shows a company recovering from a challenging period around 2009 with improving financial performance and earnings growth. The significant increase in share price and EPS in recent years points to enhanced market valuation and operational success. The fluctuation in P/E ratios underscores varying market sentiment and valuation dynamics over the timeframe.
