Up 149% in 5 years, can the Barclays share price keep rising?

In the past five years, Barclays (LSE: BARC) has put in an excellent performance on the stock market. Over that period, the Barclays share price has soared by 149%.
The dividend yield is 2.6%, but an investor who had bought at the lower price five years ago would now be yielding close to 6.5%.
Despite that strong share price growth, however, Barclays does not necessarily look overvalued now. The share trades on a price-to-earnings ratio of 9, lower than rivals including Lloyds and HSBC and broadly in line with NatWest.
So, is there more long-term potential for appreciation in the Barclays share price – and should I add the FTSE 100 company to my portfolio?
