The financial data reveals notable trends in the share price, sales per share, and price-to-sales (P/S) ratio for the company over the observed periods.
- Share Price
- The share price exhibited significant volatility, initially decreasing sharply from $18.08 in 2006 to a low of $3.97 in 2009. Following this trough, there was a consistent upward trajectory, peaking at $300.74 in 2024 before declining to $258.34 in 2025. This general increase over the long term suggests growing market valuation and investor confidence, despite short-term fluctuations.
- Sales per Share
- Sales per share showed a mostly steady increase throughout the period, starting at $4.69 in 2006, with a slight dip in 2010 to $3.16. Afterward, sales per share continually rose, reaching $16.93 by 2025. The upward trend indicates improving revenue generation on a per-share basis, reflecting positive business growth and operational performance improvements.
- Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio
- The P/S ratio declined dramatically during the financial crisis period, bottoming out at 1.01 in 2009, correlating with the share price drop and the decrease in sales per share. Post-crisis, the P/S ratio climbed steadily, reaching a peak of 20.02 in 2024 before a reduction to 15.26 in 2025. The rising P/S ratio over time suggests increasing investor willingness to pay more for each unit of sales, possibly reflecting expectations of enhanced future profitability or growth prospects.
Overall, the data illustrates recovery and sustained growth after the 2008-2009 downturn, with both share price and sales per share improving substantially. The elevated P/S ratios in recent years indicate strong market valuation relative to sales, which could warrant further investigation to assess the sustainability of this premium.
