- Share Price
- The share price exhibited a general upward trend from 2016 through early 2021, increasing from $33.52 to a peak of $269.44. However, post-2021, the share price experienced a notable decline, falling to $124.30 in 2022 and further decreasing to $80.80 in 2023. This suggests an overall increase in market valuation until 2021, followed by a correction or downward adjustment in the subsequent two years.
- Operating Profit Per Share (OPPS)
- The operating profit per share showed consistent growth throughout the entire period, rising from $1.19 in 2016 to $3.39 in 2023. The increase was steady with only a slight dip in the final year, indicating improving operational profitability on a per-share basis over the eight years considered.
- Price to Operating Profit Ratio (P/OP)
- The P/OP ratio generally trended upwards from 28.05 in 2016 to a significant peak of 95.94 in 2021, reflecting a substantial expansion in investor valuation relative to operating profit. After this peak, the ratio decreased sharply to 33.98 in 2022 and further to 23.82 in 2023, indicating a revaluation of the stock price against operating profit, potentially signaling market adjustment or decreasing growth expectations.
- Overall Analysis
- While operating profit per share steadily increased, shareholder valuation as indicated by share price and P/OP ratio showed high volatility, peaking in 2021 before experiencing marked declines. The decoupling of share price valuation from operational profitability post-2021 suggests changing market sentiment or external factors influencing investor perception. The declining P/OP ratio post-2021 may imply improved valuation attractiveness relative to operating profits or a market correction after an extended period of high multiples.
