From $0.72 in August 2015, it jumped to $1.75 in 2016, followed by a consistent increase to $3.86 in February 2020. However, in February 2021, the operating profit per share declined to $2.76 before rising again to $3.92 in February 2022. By February 2023, it decreased slightly to $2.96, indicating some volatility in profitability on a per-share basis.
- Price to Operating Profit Ratio (P/OP)
- The P/OP ratio displayed considerable variability, reflecting changes in market valuation relative to operating profit per share. Initially high at 34.21 in August 2015, it dropped to 10.12 by August 2016, indicating a more attractive valuation relative to operating profits. Thereafter, it fluctuated, rising to 22.86 in February 2018 and falling again to 14.32 in February 2019. Starting February 2020, the ratio surged dramatically to 32.65, and then experienced very sharp increases reaching 116.5 in February 2021, decreasing to 62.75 in February 2022, and again rising to 99.95 in February 2023. These elevated levels suggest that the share price was often valued at a substantial premium over operating profits during recent years, indicative of market optimism or growth expectations.
