The financial trajectory from 2020 to 2026 reveals a consistent expansion in fundamental revenue generation contrasted by significant volatility in market valuation. While top-line growth per share has maintained a steady upward climb, the price-to-sales (P/S) ratio has undergone several cycles of expansion and contraction, reflecting shifting investor sentiment and market expectations.

Sales per Share Growth

A linear and uninterrupted increase is observed in sales per share, rising from 0.56 US$ in 2020 to 4.74 US$ by 2026. This consistent growth demonstrates a robust capacity for scaling revenue on a per-share basis over the analyzed period.

P/S Ratio Volatility

The P/S ratio exhibited extreme fluctuations, peaking at 48.70 in 2021 before contracting sharply to a period low of 12.81 in 2023. This suggests a phase of significant valuation expansion followed by a corrective market adjustment. A subsequent recovery was noted in 2024, with the ratio rising to 26.10, before moderating to 22.46 by 2026.

Valuation Convergence

Despite the share price increasing from 12.86 US$ to 106.54 US$, the P/S ratio in 2026 has effectively converged with the 2020 valuation of 22.78. This indicates that the long-term appreciation in share price has been primarily driven by fundamental revenue growth rather than an expansion of the valuation multiple.
