The analysis of the financial data reveals several key trends in share price, sales per share, and the price-to-sales (P/S) ratio over the documented period.

Share Price
The share price exhibits a general upward trajectory from 2006 through 2023, with some volatility in the earlier years. Starting at $7.75 in 2006, the share price experienced a notable decline in 2009 to $5.99, reflective of broader market conditions during that time. Following this dip, there was a steady and significant increase, accelerating particularly after 2015. By 2023, the share price had risen substantially to $342.01, indicating strong market confidence and value appreciation over the long term.
Sales Per Share
Sales per share followed a positive growth trend throughout the period. From an initial value of $8.43 in 2006, sales per share increased almost every year, with minor fluctuations, reaching $56.90 by 2023. This steady growth suggests consistent revenue expansion and efficiency in generating sales on a per-share basis. The upward movement in sales per share was particularly pronounced after 2017, marking a robust phase of business performance.
Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio
The P/S ratio started below 1.0 in 2006, reflecting a conservative valuation relative to sales. It temporarily dropped to a low point of 0.49 in 2009, coinciding with the share price decline during that period. From 2010 onwards, the ratio generally increased, surpassing 1.0 and reaching values above 6.0 between 2021 and 2023. This rising P/S ratio indicates that the market has increasingly valued the company’s sales, potentially due to expectations of higher future growth or improved profitability margins. The peak in the P/S ratio also suggests that the share price growth outpaced sales growth in recent years.
