The net profit margin exhibits a long-term trajectory of expansion and increased profitability, characterized by an initial period of volatility followed by a sustained climb to higher operational efficiency. While the early years were marked by significant fluctuations, the most recent period demonstrates a substantial shift toward a higher margin regime.

Early Period Volatility and Recovery (2005–2015)
Between 2005 and 2008, margins generally declined from 22.38% to 14.24%. A critical contraction occurred in 2009, where the net profit margin plummeted to -34.43%, coinciding with a net loss of approximately 523 million USD. Following this trough, a rapid recovery took place, with margins rebounding to 25.02% by 2011. However, the period remained unstable, with a secondary dip to 13.01% in 2015.
Stabilization and Growth Phase (2016–2020)
A period of relative stabilization began in 2016, with margins fluctuating between 19.87% and 26.61%. During this interval, revenues grew steadily from 2.98 billion USD to 5.81 billion USD, providing a stronger foundation for profitability. The net profit margin concluded this phase at 20.96% in 2020, setting the stage for an accelerated increase in efficiency.
High-Margin Expansion (2021–2026)
From 2021 onward, there is a marked acceleration in profitability. Net profit margins surged, peaking at 36.06% in 2022. Despite a slight moderation to 28.15% in 2023, the trend returned to an upward trajectory, reaching a projected 35.57% by 2026. This expansion is supported by massive revenue growth, scaling from 6.92 billion USD in 2021 to a projected 13.58 billion USD in 2026, indicating a powerful combination of scaling operations and improved cost management.

In summary, the financial data reveals a transition from a volatile margin profile to a highly optimized state. The company has successfully leveraged revenue growth to expand its bottom-line percentage, evolving from average margins in the 15-20% range to a consistent performance exceeding 30% in the most recent projections.
