The valuation of the company, as measured by the Price to Operating Profit (P/OP) ratio, exhibits significant volatility over the period from 2006 to 2022, characterized by two distinct periods of operational loss and a dramatic valuation expansion in the final year of the sequence.
- Share Price Performance
- The share price demonstrated a general long-term upward trajectory, rising from 40.54 US$ in 2006 to a peak of 192.12 US$ in 2022. A significant contraction is observed in 2009, where the price fell to 15.80 US$, followed by a sustained recovery and growth phase that began in 2013.
- Operational Profitability
- Operating profit per share remained generally positive but was interrupted by severe deficits in 2009 (-16.91 US$) and 2021 (-18.90 US$). These periods of negative operating profit caused discontinuities in the P/OP ratio, highlighting high sensitivity to systemic economic shocks.
- P/OP Ratio Trends
- The P/OP ratio evolved through three distinct phases. From 2006 to 2012, the ratio remained relatively compressed, fluctuating between 7.98 and 18.29. A period of valuation expansion occurred between 2013 and 2017, with the ratio reaching a peak of 39.80. A subsequent correction saw the ratio settle between 19.04 and 26.96 from 2018 to 2020. The sequence concludes with an anomalous spike to 160.88 in 2022, resulting from a record-high share price coinciding with a limited recovery in operating profit per share to 1.19 US$.
