- Share Price
- The share price exhibited a general upward trend from 2011 to early 2021, rising from $51.90 to a peak of $607.56. Notably, this growth was marked by substantial increases between 2015 and 2018, where the price surged from $177.77 to $387.50, and again from 2019 to 2021, reaching its highest level. However, after peaking in 2021, the share price experienced a significant decline, falling to $319.21 by early 2024.
- Sales Per Share
- Sales per share steadily increased throughout the entire period, growing from $61.61 in 2011 to $376.02 in 2024. The rate of growth accelerated particularly after 2016, with sales per share more than doubling between 2016 ($86.75) and 2024. This indicates strong revenue growth on a per-share basis over time.
- Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio
- The P/S ratio displayed considerable volatility. It started at 0.84 in 2011 and climbed sharply to 3.01 by 2017, reflecting rising share prices outpacing sales growth during this time. After 2017, the ratio declined overall, dropping to 0.85 by 2024. This decrease aligns with the reduction in share price observed after 2021, despite continuous increases in sales per share. The peak P/S ratio in 2017 indicates a period when the market priced the stock at a high premium relative to sales, while the decline in recent years suggests a revaluation of the company’s stock relative to its sales performance.
- Overall Insights
- The data reflects a company experiencing strong sales growth on a per-share basis over the entire period. The share price mostly trended upward until 2021, suggesting positive market sentiment and investor confidence aligned with company performance. The subsequent decline in share price and P/S ratio from 2021 to 2024 may indicate changing market perceptions, possibly due to external factors or reassessment of valuation metrics. The return of the P/S ratio close to its 2011 level suggests the stock price is currently more closely aligned with sales fundamentals than in the peak valuation years.
