Share Price Trend
The share price exhibited an overall upward trend during the review period, starting at $24.30 in early 2006 and reaching a peak of $76.05 in early 2015. There were periods of volatility, notably a decline from $36.33 in early 2008 to $27.45 in early 2009, corresponding to a broader market contraction. After this dip, the price demonstrated strong recovery and growth, particularly between 2010 and 2015.
Earnings Per Share (EPS) Development
EPS showed a generally positive trend, increasing from $1.38 in 2006 to $3.16 in 2016. There was steady growth with some fluctuations; for example, EPS rose consistently up to 3.54 in 2013 before declining notably to 2.46 in 2014 and slightly decreasing again in 2015, before rebounding in 2016. This pattern suggests some operational or market challenges around 2014-2015, affecting profitability per share.
Price-to-Earnings Ratio (P/E) Analysis
The P/E ratio varied substantially over the period. It began at 17.59 in 2006, climbed steadily with fluctuations, peaking at 31.34 in early 2015, reflecting possibly market optimism exceeding earnings growth. The sharp increase in P/E during 2014-2015 corresponds with the EPS decline, indicating investors were willing to pay more for each dollar of earnings despite temporarily lower profitability. By 2016, the P/E ratio decreased to 21.97, suggesting a rebalancing toward valuation more aligned with EPS improvement observed that year.
Combined Interpretation
The data shows that the company experienced general growth in both share price and earnings across the period, albeit with some short-term declines and volatility likely influenced by external economic conditions. The disconnect between P/E ratios and EPS at certain points reveals changing investor sentiment and market expectations. The share price recovery following the 2008 dip and the EPS recovery after 2015 indicate resilience and potential underlying strength within the business fundamentals.
