- Price to Earnings (P/E) Ratio
- The P/E ratio shows a rising trend starting from February 2020, increasing from around 31.04 to a peak above 68 in late 2021 and early 2024. After reaching its highest levels, it undergoes a decline to values near 23 to 28 between early 2023 and mid-2023, followed by a subsequent increase again towards late 2024, though with some fluctuations. This pattern suggests periods of high market expectations around earnings, followed by corrections and renewed investor optimism.
- Price to Operating Profit (P/OP) Ratio
- Similar to the P/E ratio, the P/OP ratio starts at approximately 24.74 in early 2020, climbing steadily to around 56 at the end of 2021. After this peak, it declines sharply to values in the range of 20 to 26 during 2022 and early 2023 before rising once more to over 60 by late 2024. The trend mirrors the earnings multiple, reflecting changing investor sentiment on operating profitability over time.
- Price to Sales (P/S) Ratio
- The P/S ratio also exhibits an overall upward movement, beginning near 7.06 in early 2020 and increasing to about 13 by late 2021, followed by a pullback to a range between 6.75 and 8.3 through mid-2023. Thereafter, it climbs gradually again to peak values around 12.8 by late 2024. This indicates fluctuations in valuation relative to revenue, showing phases of premium valuation and periods of modest correction.
- Price to Book Value (P/BV) Ratio
- The P/BV ratio displays a contrasting pattern compared to other valuation metrics. Initially, it grows from about 3.4 in early years to a peak near 4.98 in mid-2021. Subsequently, it drops significantly to a low near 2.24 by mid-2022, maintaining relatively low values around 2.3 to 2.7 during 2022 into early 2023. Later, it recovers modestly to approximately 3.4 by early 2025. The dropping and recovery trend suggests fluctuations in market valuation against the company’s equity book value, possibly influenced by changes in asset values or market perceptions of net asset worth.
- Summary of Trends
- The financial ratios indicate periods of heightened investor enthusiasm, especially evident around late 2021, with elevated P/E, P/OP, and P/S ratios. These peaks are followed by notable corrections into mid-2023, where multiple valuation metrics drop significantly, implying a reset in market expectations. The P/BV ratio follows a related but distinct path, with an initial peak and subsequent decline pointing towards shifts in market valuation relative to book equity. Across all ratios, a pattern of recovery is seen toward late 2024 and early 2025, though the levels remain volatile. This volatility may reflect broader market dynamics or company-specific developments affecting profitability, sales, and equity valuation over the observed periods.

- Share Price Trend
- The share price exhibited an overall upward trajectory from early 2019 through May 2024 despite some fluctuations. Starting at $106.82 in February 2019, the price increased steadily, peaking several times, notably reaching heights around $196.18 in early 2023 and again exceeding $240 by May 2024. However, intermittent declines occurred, such as after January 2022 and again in the latter part of 2024, indicating periods of volatility.
- Earnings Per Share (EPS) Pattern
- EPS data beginning in early 2020 shows variability with a general growth trend until late 2023. Initially reported values hovered around 3.0 to 4.6, rising sharply to a peak of 7.53 by October 2023. This was followed by a decline into 2024, with EPS dropping back to approximately 3.15-3.69 towards mid-2025, suggesting possible earnings pressure or cyclical factors influencing profitability.
- Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio Dynamics
- The P/E ratio revealed considerable fluctuation across the periods. Initially above 30, it escalated to near 41-42 in mid-2020, reduced moderately until early 2023, and then surged significantly reaching as high as approximately 76 by late 2024. This sharp increase implies that the market valuation grew faster than earnings during that interval, potentially reflecting heightened investor optimism or expectations despite falling EPS.
- Interrelations and Insights
- Periods of increasing EPS generally correspond with lower P/E ratios, such as through 2022 and much of 2023, indicating earnings growth keeping pace with or outstripping share price increases. Conversely, the rapid rise in the P/E ratio in 2024 juxtaposed with declining EPS suggests that the share price elevated in anticipation of future growth rather than current earnings, or that market sentiment may have decoupled temporarily from earnings fundamentals. The share price volatility and EPS decline in 2024 might signal external market challenges or operational pressures affecting company performance.

The share price exhibited a generally upward trend over the analyzed periods, starting at $106.82 in early 2019 and rising to a peak of $241.66 by early 2025, despite some volatility. There were periods of consolidation and slight declines, such as a dip to approximately $159.92 in early 2022, followed by recovery. The most notable increase occurred between early 2023 and mid-2024, where the share price surged significantly, reaching a high above $240 before a modest decline towards the end of the timeline.
Operating profit per share (OP) data, available from early 2020 onwards, showed fluctuations but an overall increase during the period. Initially, OP declined from 4.64 to a low near 3.04 in mid-2021, then recovered progressively to peak values exceeding 8.5 around mid-2023. After reaching this high mark, OP trended downward, falling to roughly 4.49 by mid-2025.
The price-to-operating profit ratio (P/OP) reflected considerable variability. Early values ranged around the mid-20s to low 30s, followed by a substantial spike to above 55 in early 2022, indicating a higher valuation per unit of operating profit. This elevated ratio gradually decreased to the low 20s by mid-2023, followed by another increase towards values near 60 by mid-2025.
- Share Price
- Steady increase over the period with intermittent volatility, peaking above $240 between early 2024 and 2025.
- Operating Profit per Share
- Initial decline from early 2020 to mid-2021, followed by growth reaching a peak in mid-2023, and subsequent decline through mid-2025.
- Price to Operating Profit Ratio (P/OP)
- Fluctuated significantly, showing peaks over 55 during 2022 and again near 60 by mid-2025, reflecting changing market valuations relative to earnings.
The data suggests that while the company experienced growth in its share price and operating profitability over the medium term, market valuations fluctuated markedly, possibly indicating investor uncertainty or external market influences. The high P/OP ratios in 2022 and late 2024 to early 2025 could imply overvaluation or expectations of future growth not fully supported by operating profit trends. Conversely, the periods of declining P/OP ratios align with rising operating profits, indicating improved earnings quality relative to stock price during those times.

The analysis of the provided financial data reveals several notable trends in share price, sales per share, and the price-to-sales (P/S) ratio over the observed periods.
- Share Price
- The share price exhibits a general upward trajectory from early 2019 through May 2024, starting at approximately $106.82 and peaking near $240.16. There are periods of volatility and short-term declines, such as the dip in May 2020 and fluctuating prices around 2022 and early 2023. However, the overall trend is positive, with the highest values occurring most recently, indicating strengthening market valuation over the time frame.
- Sales Per Share
- Sales per share data is available from February 2020 onwards, showing a somewhat variable but broadly upward trend until reaching a peak around January 2023 at approximately $25.76. Following this peak, sales per share decline steadily through May 2025 to a value near $19.79. This suggests that while the company experienced growth in sales per share for the majority of the observed period, more recent quarters show a contraction or normalization in sales performance on a per-share basis.
- Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio
- The P/S ratio largely fluctuates within a band but shows a notable increase from mid-2019 through late 2021, signaling growing investor willingness to pay a premium relative to sales. Thereafter, the ratio declines noticeably through mid-2023, before rising sharply again in late 2023 and early 2024. These movements imply changing investor sentiment, possibly influenced by underlying sales performance and share price dynamics.
In summary, the share price has generally increased over the analyzed timeline, reflecting positive market sentiment and valuation gains despite short-term volatility. Sales per share grew until early 2023 but then declined over the subsequent periods, indicating a slowdown in sales growth or potential competitive pressures. The fluctuations in the P/S ratio mirror these trends, with periods of elevated valuation multiples corresponding to heightened market optimism and lower multiples coinciding with slower sales growth or market caution.

- Share Price Trend
- The share price exhibited an overall upward trend throughout the periods analyzed, beginning at $106.82 in early 2019 and reaching a peak above $240 in early 2024. Multiple fluctuations are observable: a modest decline occurred in early 2020, around the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by a steady recovery and growth through late 2021. Subsequently, a period of volatility is noticeable between early 2022 and mid-2023, with prices oscillating between approximately $159 and $196. From late 2023 to mid-2024, there is a strong resurgence in share price, attaining new highs before a slight decline towards the last recorded date.
- Book Value Per Share (BVPS) Stability
- The book value per share remained relatively stable over the entire period, hovering around the $31 to $33 range up until late 2021. A significant increase occurs around October 2021, where BVPS nearly doubles to a level above $70, after which it maintains a stable level within a narrow range, oscillating slightly but generally consistent between $70.5 and $72.5. This suggests a major event, such as an accounting adjustment or acquisition, which materially affected the book value.
- Price-to-Book Value Ratio (P/BV) Dynamics
- The price-to-book value ratio started at approximately 3.4 in early 2019 and saw a general increase, peaking near 4.98 around mid-2021. This rise aligns with the increasing share price while BVPS remained stable. Following the sharp BVPS increase in late 2021, the P/BV ratio drops substantially to about 2.5, reflecting the adjustment in book value. From this point onward, the ratio fluctuates moderately between approximately 2.2 and 3.4, indicating varying market valuations relative to book value even as both share price and BVPS showed periods of stability or growth. Notably, the ratio sees a resurgence approaching 3.4 in early 2025, coinciding with elevated share prices despite a relatively constant BVPS.
- Overall Insights
- The financial data reveals a company experiencing steady market appreciation with a notable event substantially increasing equity value on the balance sheet in late 2021. Share price growth significantly outpaced book value growth, especially before October 2021, reflecting strong market confidence or anticipated future earnings growth. The P/BV ratio's fluctuations suggest changing investor perceptions regarding valuation, particularly during periods of economic uncertainty or after major corporate actions. Stability in BVPS after the increase indicates maintained asset value, while share price volatility points to market dynamics. The upward trend in share price toward early 2025 suggests positive investor sentiment or improvement in operational or financial performance.
