Share Price
The share price exhibits substantial volatility over the analyzed period. Initially, it was relatively high at $42.90 in 2006 and experienced a significant decline to $12 by 2009. This was followed by fluctuations with a low of $6.30 in 2013, then a modest recovery and further volatility until around 2019 with values mostly under $15. From 2020 onward, the share price shows a marked upward trend, nearly tripling from $14.86 in 2020 to $43.11 in 2023, returning to levels comparable to the earliest observations.
Sales per Share
Sales per share present a non-linear pattern with frequent fluctuations and no sustained upward or downward trend. The values oscillate between lows of $0.23 to $0.31 over multiple years and notable peaks such as $7.83 in 2010 and $2.55 in 2017. This suggests inconsistent sales generation relative to share count, with no clear improvement over the long term. More recent years (2021 to 2023) show a mild increase from $0.79 to $0.99, indicating some recovery or growth in sales per share.
Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio
The P/S ratio is highly variable, reflecting both the fluctuations in share price and sales per share. It started very elevated at 28.53 in 2006 and peaked dramatically at 112.43 in 2007, indicating a very high valuation relative to sales. A general decreasing trend is observed between 2007 and 2011, bottoming out near 2.57 in 2010. Subsequently, the ratio displays cyclical spikes and drops, with another significant peak at 42.19 in 2022 and a slight increase thereafter to 43.37 in 2023. These trends suggest that the market valuation relative to sales has endured periods of both undervaluation and overvaluation, potentially driven by market sentiment or expectations beyond the actual sales performance.
Overall Insights
The company's market valuation as reflected by share price and P/S ratio has experienced considerable volatility without consistent growth tied closely to sales per share. The recent upward momentum in share price combined with rising P/S ratios might reflect market optimism or expectations of future improvement rather than improvements in current sales metrics. The fluctuating sales per share and the decoupling from share price indicate a potential gap between operational performance and market valuation throughout much of the period under review.
