- Share Price Trend
- The share price exhibited a significant upward trajectory over the analyzed period. Starting at $8.36 in early 2016, it increased steadily to $25.32 by early 2018. This upward movement accelerated notably between 2018 and 2021, with the share price surging to a peak of $220.27. However, following this peak, there was a marked decline to $148.94 by early 2022, indicating a substantial correction after a period of rapid growth.
- Operating Profit Per Share Trend
- The operating profit per share showed a consistent improvement throughout the period. Initially, there was a slight loss of $0.02 in early 2016. This was followed by recovery and gradual growth, reaching $0.75 by early 2020. A more pronounced increase occurred between 2020 and 2022, with the operating profit per share rising sharply to $3.67. This trend reflects strengthening profitability on a per-share basis.
- Price to Operating Profit Ratio (P/OP)
- The P/OP ratio demonstrated considerable variability. After no ratio was available in 2016 due to negative operating profit, it recorded a high value of 80.08 in early 2017 and peaked dramatically at 258.61 in early 2018. Subsequently, the ratio declined progressively each year, reaching 40.62 by early 2022. This decreasing trend indicates that the price growth is becoming more aligned with or supported by operational earnings growth, reflecting improving valuation metrics over time.
- Overall Insights
- The data indicate that the company experienced robust growth in both share price and profitability per share from 2016 through 2021. The sharp rise in operating profit per share corresponds with a significant increase in share price, although the latter outpaced profitability growth until the peak in 2021. The subsequent decline in share price alongside continuing profit growth has resulted in a more moderate and potentially sustainable valuation as reflected by the falling P/OP ratio. This suggests increased investor confidence in the company’s earnings capacity relative to its share price.
