3 Closing price as at the filing date of Alphabet Inc. Annual Report.
- Share Price Trend
- The share price exhibits notable overall growth from 8.47 US$ in March 2006 to 193.3 US$ in February 2025. The increase is characterized by periods of volatility, including a decline in early 2009, followed by steady recovery and acceleration in subsequent years, peaking at 148.04 US$ in February 2022, a dip to 105.22 US$ in February 2023, then rising sharply again to 193.3 US$ by February 2025.
- Sales Per Share Progression
- Sales per share demonstrate continuous growth over the entire period, starting at 0.52 US$ in 2006 and reaching an exceptionally high figure of 28,713,535.68 US$ in 2025. This extreme value in the final year suggests either a data anomaly or significant structural change in reporting or business scale. Prior to this, sales per share rose steadily, with substantial increments after 2018, increasing from 7.97 US$ to 24.72 US$ by 2024, indicating robust revenue growth supporting the company's operations.
- P/S Ratio Analysis
- The price-to-sales (P/S) ratio shows a general downward trend from 16.41 in 2006 to lower single-digit figures around 4.76 to 7.65 between 2010 and 2023. The ratio decreased significantly in the first years, reaching a low of 4.87 in 2012, then fluctuated moderately, suggesting that share price increases have been somewhat outpaced by sales growth during much of the timeframe. The final two recorded values (0 in 2025) imply either missing data or calculation issues, likely connected to the anomalous sales per share figure reported for that period.
- Relationship Between Metrics
- The data reveals a strengthening revenue base as evidenced by rapidly increasing sales per share. Despite the rising share price, the P/S ratio trend suggests that sales growth has been the dominant factor in valuation changes, reflecting investor recognition of the expanding business scale. The exceptional spike in sales in 2025, coupled with a zero P/S ratio, indicates irregularity that obscures a clear interpretation for the last year. Up to 2024, the company's share price growth has generally aligned with increased sales, highlighting consistent market confidence and operational expansion.
