- Share Price Trend
- The share price exhibited significant fluctuations over the reported periods. Initially, it declined substantially from 54.83 USD in March 2014 to a low of 16.06 USD in February 2017. Subsequently, there was a notable recovery, peaking at 71.79 USD in February 2021, followed by a sharp decrease to 36.24 USD in February 2022.
- Earnings Per Share (EPS) Trend
- The EPS demonstrated a consistent trend of losses from 2014 through 2018, with negative values ranging from -1.1 USD to -0.14 USD. A positive turnaround occurred in 2019 and 2020, with EPS values of 1.57 USD and 1.87 USD respectively, indicating profitability during these years. However, this was followed by a regression into losses again in 2021 and 2022, with values of -1.42 USD and -0.28 USD.
- Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio
- The P/E ratio data is only available for 2019 and 2020, showing values of 19.57 and 20.69 respectively. This suggests that during these years, the company traded at a price multiple consistent with moderate earnings growth expectations. The absence of P/E data in other years likely reflects periods of negative or negligible earnings, making the ratio not meaningful or inapplicable.
- Overall Financial Insights
- The financial metrics indicate a volatile performance over the years. The company struggled with consistent profitability until 2019 and 2020, where positive earnings corresponded with elevated share prices and reasonable P/E ratios. However, recent years show a retreat from profitability and a decline in share price, which may signal renewed challenges or market revaluation. The inconsistent EPS and corresponding fluctuations in share price highlight operational or market risks affecting investor confidence.
