The share price of the company shows a predominantly upward trend over the analyzed period, increasing from $35.71 in March 2006 to $649.24 in February 2022. There are some fluctuations, with notable increases occurring particularly after 2010, showing a sharp rise from $55.58 in 2011 to $150.85 in 2014, and a significant jump post-2018 culminating in the peak value in 2022.
Sales per share exhibit a steady and consistent growth trajectory throughout the period. Starting at $18.19 in 2006, sales per share increase almost every year, reaching $200.11 in 2022. This pattern indicates sustained revenue growth on a per-share basis, reflecting potential improvements in operational efficiency or market expansion.
The Price-to-Sales (P/S) ratio shows more variability relative to share price and sales per share. It starts at 1.96 in 2006, dips to a low of 1.12 in 2010, reflecting perhaps a period of lower market valuation relative to sales, and then rises again. After 2010, the P/S ratio experiences oscillations but generally trends upwards, reaching its highest point of 3.24 in 2022. This indicates increasing investor willingness to pay a premium relative to sales, suggesting improved market confidence or perceived growth prospects.
