Share Price Trend
The share price experienced a general upward trajectory from 2010 to 2023. Starting at $1.71 in 2010, it showed a consistent increase with notable increments between 2017 and 2022, peaking at $64.99 in 2022 before a slight decline to $58.86 in 2023. This reflects a more than 34-fold increase over the 14-year period, indicating strong market confidence or growth expectations.
Operating Profit Per Share (OPPS) Trend
Operating profit per share showed a steady and gradual increase throughout the years. Beginning at $0.04 in 2010, it rose consistently with minor fluctuations, reaching $1.24 in 2023. The increase accelerated particularly from 2018 onward, suggesting improving operational efficiency or profitability on a per-share basis.
Price to Operating Profit Ratio (P/OP)
The P/OP ratio displayed significant volatility. It started at 45.42 in 2010, with peaks such as 324.13 in 2016 and relatively lower ratios around 47.6 in 2023. The ratio was notably elevated between 2015 and 2017, reflecting possibly high market expectations relative to operating profits. Following this period, the ratio generally declined, suggesting either faster growth in operating profits relative to share price increases or market revaluation to moderate price expectations.
Overall Insights
The data indicates solid growth in both market valuation and operating profitability. The strong rise in share price, coupled with the improving operating profit per share, highlights enhanced company performance and investor sentiment. The fluctuating P/OP ratio reveals periods of differing market optimism and valuation adjustments, with recent years suggesting more balanced valuation relative to earnings. The combination of these trends points to a maturing growth trajectory with improved operational results supporting higher market valuations over time.
