The analysis of the financial data over the two decades reveals several notable trends across the share price, sales per share, and price-to-sales (P/S) ratio.
- Share Price
- The share price experienced volatility with a significant drop from 111.89 US$ in 2007 to around 23.81 US$ by 2009, indicating a sharp decline during this period. Following this low point, the share price showed a consistent upward trajectory, rising steadily from 25.81 US$ in 2010 to reach 513.24 US$ in 2025. This long-term growth illustrates a strong recovery and expansion in market valuation over the years.
- Sales Per Share
- Sales per share demonstrated a general upward trend throughout the period. Starting at 3.71 US$ in 2005, sales per share rose with moderate fluctuations, reaching 18.9 US$ by 2020 and continuing to increase to 37.9 US$ by 2025. This steady increase signifies overall growth in the company's revenue-generating ability on a per-share basis, particularly accelerating after 2016.
- Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio
- The P/S ratio initially showed high values in 2005 (21.64) and 2007 (20.52), which strongly decreased to below 4 during the financial crisis period in 2008 and 2009. After 2009, the ratio gradually increased from 3.57 in 2010 to fluctuating values between 10.4 and 13.54 during 2022-2025. This upward movement in the P/S ratio indicates a rising market valuation relative to sales, implying growing investor confidence and possibly higher expectations of future growth or profitability.
In summary, the data indicates a recovery from a difficult period around 2008-2009 with both share price and sales per share expanding significantly afterward. The rising P/S ratio over the recent years reinforces the view of enhanced market valuation relative to sales, reflecting improved investor sentiment and potentially stronger financial performance expectations.
