Both curves start at 100 on the same day, so this compares returns rather than prices. Each week's P/E is the price divided by the earnings per share already reported by that date; loss-making weeks are not drawn.

Analyst consensus from Yahoo Finance. The dashed bar is the average and the whisker runs from the lowest analyst to the highest. On periods already reported, the green or red line marks what had been expected: below the bar means the company beat it. EPS is measured on an adjusted basis, which is what analysts forecast against and is not the accounting profit in the statements.
