- Share Price
- The share price exhibited a general upward trajectory over the analyzed period, rising from $29.73 in early 2013 to $687 by early 2025. Notable increases occurred between 2013 and 2018, culminating in a peak of $193.09. A decline followed in 2019 and early 2023, where the share price dropped to $166.69 and $188.77 respectively. However, a significant recovery was observed subsequently, with the price soaring to $474.99 in early 2024 and reaching $687 in early 2025.
- Sales Per Share
- Sales per share demonstrated consistent growth throughout the years under review. Beginning at $2.14 in early 2013, there was a steady rise each period, reaching $64.93 by early 2025. This growth indicates a strong and continuous increase in revenue generated per outstanding share.
- Price-to-Sales Ratio (P/S)
- The P/S ratio showed considerable fluctuations. Initially elevated at 13.92 in early 2013, it peaked at 20.27 in early 2014, suggesting high market valuation relative to sales. Over the next several years, the ratio declined steadily, falling to 4.2 by early 2023, indicating a significant decrease in price relative to sales. However, the ratio rebounded to 8.98 in early 2024 and further increased to 10.58 in early 2025, suggesting a renewed market confidence or valuation expansion relative to sales.
- Summary of Trends
- The data reflects a company with strong revenue growth on a per-share basis and significant appreciation in share price over the long term. The price-to-sales ratio's fluctuations imply varying investor sentiment and market valuation dynamics, with periods of premium pricing early in the timeline followed by a reduction and subsequent partial recovery. The recent sharp increase in share price paired with a higher P/S ratio may indicate heightened market optimism or expected future growth.
