- Share Price
- The share price exhibited significant volatility throughout the observed period. Initially, it increased moderately from $10.52 in March 2006 to a peak of $33.34 in February 2008. This was followed by a sharp decline to $12.74 in February 2009, coinciding with the financial crisis period. A sustained upward trend took place afterward, with the share price reaching $285.60 by February 2022. Despite some fluctuations, the price showed strong growth, culminating in a substantial rise to $571.88 by January 2025, indicating heightened investor confidence or improved company performance in recent years.
- Operating Profit per Share (OP per share)
- Operating profit per share demonstrated steady growth over the examined years. Starting at $0.21 in March 2006, this metric steadily increased, reaching $5.09 in February 2022 with minor fluctuations. While there was a dip in 2015 to $1.65, subsequent years showed recovery and improvement. By January 2025, operating profit per share attained $6.59, reflecting an overall strengthening in operational profitability.
- Price to Operating Profit (P/OP) Ratio
- The P/OP ratio exhibited notable variability. Early in the timeline, the ratio fluctuated considerably, with a low of 14.45 in February 2009, indicating potentially undervalued stock relative to operating profit during that period. Often, this ratio ranged between mid-20s and mid-50s for much of the years observed. From 2015 onward, a discernible upward trend emerged, with the ratio peaking dramatically at 88.37 in February 2021, then fluctuating but remaining elevated above 50 in following years, reaching 86.83 by January 2025. This suggests an increasing premium on the company’s future earning potential relative to operating profit, possibly reflecting market expectations rather than current profitability levels.
- Summary of Trends and Insights
- The data shows that while operating profit per share experienced a steady and moderate increase over time, the share price exhibited greater volatility but generally trended strongly upward, especially after the 2009 dip. The divergence between the share price and operating profit per share is reflected in upward trends of the P/OP ratio, particularly in the latest years, indicating rising market valuation multiples. This could imply elevated investor optimism or growth expectations. The period around 2009 marked a low point in valuation multiples, which reversed substantially in subsequent years. Overall, the company appears to have enhanced its operational profitability steadily while the market has increasingly valued its shares at a higher multiple of operating profits.
