- Share Price Trends
- The share price exhibited an overall upward trajectory from 2011 through 2021, beginning at $51.90 and peaking at $607.56 in early 2021. Notable increments occurred particularly between 2015 and 2018, with the price rising from $177.77 to $387.50, and a significant jump to $517.46 in 2020. However, from 2021 onward, the share price experienced a decline, falling to $394.41 by early 2023 and further to $319.21 in 2024.
- Operating Profit Per Share (OPPS)
- The operating profit per share demonstrated consistent growth over the entire period. Starting at $8.94 in 2011, it fluctuated modestly in the early years but began rising more sharply from 2017 onwards. The figure increased from $9.13 in 2017 to $86.48 in 2024, indicating a strong enhancement in profitability per share over the long term.
- Price to Operating Profit Ratio (P/OP)
- This ratio fluctuated considerably throughout the period. Initially low at 5.81 in 2011, it increased to a peak of 35.52 in 2017, suggesting that the share price was relatively high compared to operating profit per share during that year. Subsequently, the ratio decreased significantly, falling to 3.69 in 2024, reflecting a valuation more closely aligned with operating profits. This decreasing trend in P/OP from 2017 to 2024 suggests improving market valuation in terms of operating profit, potentially indicating a market correction or increasing investor confidence in earnings quality.
- Overall Insights
- The data indicates a strong growth in operating profit per share over the analyzed period, which is a positive sign of underlying business performance. The share price and the P/OP ratio suggest phases of market exuberance and correction, with peak valuation ratios observed around 2017 followed by a normalization phase. Despite the recent decline in share price, the low P/OP ratio in 2024 signifies that shares may be valued reasonably relative to the company’s operating profitability. The divergence between operating profit growth and share price depreciation in the recent years might warrant further analysis of market factors or company-specific events impacting investor sentiment.
