Over the examined period, the share price exhibited significant fluctuations. Initially, it decreased from $51.04 to $40.29 between 2006 and 2007, then surged to a peak of $69.18 in 2010. The price reached its highest point at $85.74 in 2012 before generally stabilizing around the mid-80s until 2015. However, a sharp decline occurred in 2016, with the share price dropping to $40.5, followed by a recovery to $66.77 in 2017.

The operating profit per share demonstrated considerable volatility and a declining trend after peaking in 2008. It rose initially from $8.71 in 2006 to $15.7 in 2008, then mostly decreased in subsequent years, reaching a minimal value of $0.77 in 2010. There were intermittent improvements, such as $10.66 in 2015, but severe losses appeared in 2016 and 2017, with values of -$17.33 and -$4.65 respectively.

The price-to-operating profit (P/OP) ratio reflected the interplay between share price and operating profit per share. Ratios were relatively low and stable between 2006 and 2009, ranging from approximately 2.65 to 5.86. A substantial spike occurred in 2010, reaching 90.39, indicating the market price greatly exceeded operating profits. Subsequent years saw elevated ratios fluctuating between approximately 8 and 22, with some missing data points. This suggests periods of market overvaluation relative to operating profitability or significant profit declines affecting the ratio's stability.

Overall, the data indicate a company experiencing volatile earnings performance with intermittent profitability challenges. The share price variations and extreme fluctuations in the P/OP ratio suggest sensitivity to underlying operating results and possible external factors influencing market valuation. The steep operating losses in later years, combined with substantial share price recovery, point to a complex dynamic between market expectations and financial outcomes during the period.
