- Share Price
- The share price exhibited a rising trend from 2016 to 2021, increasing from $33.52 to a peak of $269.44 in 2021. This represents a substantial growth over this period. However, post-2021, the share price experienced a significant decline, reducing to $124.30 in 2022 and further down to $80.80 in 2023.
- Sales per Share
- Sales per share showed a consistent upward trajectory across the entire period from 2016 to 2023. Starting at $7.56 in 2016, it steadily increased each year, reaching $24.32 in 2023. This indicates continuous growth in revenue relative to the number of shares over time.
- Price-to-Sales Ratio (P/S)
- The P/S ratio remained relatively stable around the mid-4 to mid-7 range between 2016 and 2020, followed by a sharp increase to 14.71 in 2021, coinciding with the peak in share price. After 2021, the ratio declined noticeably to 5.71 in 2022 and further down to 3.32 in 2023, reflecting a decrease in market valuation relative to sales.
- Overall Insights
- While sales per share demonstrated consistent growth over the entire period, the financial market valuation, as reflected in share price and P/S ratio, showed substantial volatility. The peak in 2021 suggests strong investor optimism, which was not sustained in subsequent years. The decline in share price and P/S ratio after 2021 indicates a possible revaluation or correction phase despite ongoing sales growth.
