- Share Price
- The share price exhibited significant volatility over the observed periods. Starting at $44.31 in February 2020, it more than doubled to $97.61 by March 2021 and then increased further to a peak of $161.41 in February 2022. However, a notable decline followed, with the price dropping to $76.67 in February 2023. After this decrease, the price partially recovered to $129.51 in February 2024 and stabilized slightly lower at $126.24 in February 2025. The overall trend shows substantial growth from 2020 to 2022, followed by a sharp correction and a moderate recovery.
- Sales Per Share
- This metric demonstrated consistent and robust growth throughout the period. Starting at $1.22 in February 2020, sales per share increased steadily year over year, reaching $1.97 in 2021, $3.28 in 2022, $5.24 in 2023, $6.41 in 2024, and finally $7.83 in 2025. This upward trend indicates strong revenue growth on a per-share basis, nearly a sixfold increase over five years.
- Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio
- The P/S ratio was relatively high during the early years, peaking at 49.57 in 2021 and maintaining a similar level of 49.25 in 2022. However, a substantial decline occurred in 2023, with the ratio dropping to 14.64. It increased somewhat to 20.19 in 2024 but then decreased again to 16.12 in 2025. These fluctuations reflect changes in market valuation relative to sales, indicating that despite increasing sales per share, the market’s willingness to pay a premium for each dollar of sales decreased significantly after 2022.
