Share Price Trend
The share price exhibits an overall upward trajectory from 2005 through 2025. Initial values around $49 in 2005 remain relatively stable until 2007, peaking at $60.03 before declining to approximately $31.21 by 2009. Between 2010 and 2014, the price fluctuates moderately between $32.3 and $72.34, followed by steady growth from 2015 onward. Post-2016, the share price rises sharply, reaching $914.8 by 2025, indicating a significant increase in market valuation over the two decades.
Sales per Share Analysis
Sales per share start at $10.55 in 2005 and remain near this level until 2007. A notable dip occurs in 2009 to $8.91 but quickly recovers to a peak of $19.05 in 2012. Following some fluctuations, there is a consistent upward trend from 2015 onwards, reaching a high of $92.12 in 2025. This suggests strong growth in revenue generated per share, particularly in the latter part of the period analyzed.
Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio Insights
The P/S ratio shows variable behavior across the timeline with some distinct patterns. Starting around 4.66 in 2005, it remains relatively stable but drops to a low of 1.9 in 2011, signaling undervaluation relative to sales at that point. After 2011, the ratio generally increases, peaking at 9.93 in 2025. This upward shift indicates growing investor optimism, with market prices rising faster than sales per share in recent years.
Overall Financial Trends
The increase in share price aligned with rising sales per share reflects strong company performance and revenue growth. The rising P/S ratio in the later years suggests increased market expectations and valuation premiums placed on the company. Periods of volatility in earlier years may indicate market adjustments or external economic factors, but the long-term trend is positive both in terms of market valuation and sales efficiency per share.
