- Share Price
- The share price exhibited considerable volatility over the examined period. It started at $18.99 in late 2005 and experienced a downward trend reaching a low of $10.45 by the end of 2008. Following this dip, the share price showed marked recovery and consistent growth with some fluctuations, peaking at $146.15 in 2021. A notable decline occurred in 2022 to $104.73, after which it rebounded significantly by 2024 to $169.35, the highest value observed in the dataset.
- Sales Per Share
- Sales per share demonstrated an overall upward trajectory with some interruptions. Beginning at $4.35 in 2005, this measure increased steadily to $7.04 in 2007, though a drop to $3.74 was seen in 2009, coinciding with the period of economic downturn. Post-2009, sales per share recovered robustly, continuing to climb consistently and reaching $33.40 by 2024, indicating sustained growth in the company’s revenue generation per share over the long term.
- Price-to-Sales Ratio (P/S)
- The P/S ratio experienced noticeable fluctuations. Initially, it decreased from 4.36 in 2005 to a trough of 1.38 in 2011, suggesting the market price declined relative to sales or sales improved relative to price during this phase. After 2011, the ratio generally increased, peaking at 5.63 in 2021. This suggests that the market began valuing the company's sales at a higher multiple. A downturn in 2022 to 3.43 occurred but by 2024 the P/S ratio recovered to approximately 5.07, indicating sustained investor confidence relative to sales.
- General Observations
- The analysis suggests that despite initial setbacks coinciding with the global financial crisis period around 2008-2009, both share price and sales per share showed strong recovery and growth. The increasing P/S ratio in recent years reflects heightened market expectations or valuation relative to sales performance. The sharp rise in share price aligned with continuous growth in sales per share underscores the company's improving financial performance and market position. The 2022 dip in share price and P/S ratio is an outlier likely attributable to macroeconomic or sector-specific challenges, but the subsequent recovery evident by 2024 indicates resilience and a return to growth.
