Share Price Trend
The share price exhibited a general upward trend over the observed periods, rising from $8.47 in 2006 to $193.3 in 2025. Initial growth was moderate, with some fluctuations between 2006 and 2013, where the price ranged roughly between $8.94 and $18.84. From 2014 onward, the share price showed more pronounced increases, reaching $103.5 in 2021. A notable peak occurred in 2022 at $148.04, followed by a dip to $105.22 in 2023, then rising again to $193.3 by 2025, indicating increased volatility in recent years but strong overall growth.
Operating Profit per Share (OPPS) Trend
Operating profit per share displayed a consistent and steady upward trend across the entire timeframe. Starting at $0.17 in 2006, OPPS grew year-over-year, reaching $1.04 by 2014, then continuing to accelerate, hitting $3.06 in 2021 and culminating at $9.22 in 2025. This reflects improving operational efficiency and profitability on a per-share basis, suggesting stronger earnings capacity independent of share price volatility.
Price to Operating Profit Ratio (P/OP)
The P/OP ratio showed significant variability. Initially, it declined sharply from 49.92 in 2006 to a low of 15.73 in 2012, suggesting that the market valuation relative to operating profit became more reasonable or undervalued during that period. Post-2012, the ratio fluctuated, often rising above 20, peaking around 33.85 in 2021, which may indicate periods where the market price outpaced earnings improvements or reflected heightened investor expectations. By 2025, the ratio stabilized near 21.0, hinting at a more balanced valuation relative to operating profitability.
Overall Insights
The data indicates robust growth in both market share price and operating profitability, with operating profit per share showing continuous and strong improvement. Market valuation multiples experienced wide swings, likely influenced by economic cycles, investor sentiment, and company performance expectations. Despite recent volatility in share price and P/OP ratio, the long-term patterns suggest strengthening financial health and increasing investor confidence.
