The price-to-sales (P/S) ratio, calculated from the provided share price and sales per share figures, exhibits considerable fluctuation over the observed period. Initial values indicate a P/S ratio around 3.11 in 2006, increasing to a peak of 4.07 in 2020 before declining significantly.

Overall Trend
From 2006 to 2020, the P/S ratio generally remained within a range of approximately 1.79 to 4.07, with periods of increase and decrease. A notable increase occurred between 2019 and 2020. Following 2020, the ratio experienced a substantial decline, reaching a low of 1.58 in 2024, before increasing to 4.26 in 2026.
Early Period (2006-2009)
The period between 2006 and 2009 shows initial stability followed by a significant decrease in the P/S ratio. The ratio peaked at 3.40 in 2007, then decreased to 1.79 in 2009, coinciding with a decrease in share price during that year.
Recovery and Stability (2010-2017)
From 2010 to 2017, the P/S ratio demonstrated a recovery and relative stability, fluctuating between 2.44 and 3.39. This period suggests a more consistent valuation relative to sales. A gradual increase in both share price and sales per share contributed to this stability.
Recent Volatility (2018-2026)
The period from 2018 onwards is characterized by increased volatility. The ratio rose to 4.07 in 2020, then fell sharply to 1.85 in 2023. The most recent data point, 2026, shows a substantial increase to 4.26, indicating a significant shift in investor valuation relative to sales. This recent volatility may be attributable to changing market conditions or company-specific factors.

The observed fluctuations in the P/S ratio suggest that investor sentiment and market conditions have significantly influenced the company’s valuation relative to its sales performance. The recent decline followed by a sharp increase warrants further investigation to determine the underlying drivers of these changes.
