Share Price Trend
The share price exhibited modest fluctuations from 2007 through 2016, generally remaining below US$3. From 2007 at US$0.84, it showed gradual increases with some volatility, peaking around US$2.71 in 2015 before dropping slightly in 2016. Following 2016, the share price demonstrated a sustained upward trajectory, rising to US$3.57 by 2021, then accelerating significantly to US$6.93 in 2022 and further to US$25.52 by 2023, reaching US$45.54 in early 2025. This sharp increase in recent years indicates substantial growth in market valuation.
Operating Profit Per Share (OPPS) Trend
Operating profit per share showed modest growth early on, fluctuating within a range from US$0.06 to US$0.31 between 2007 and 2015. After this period, the metric remained relatively flat through 2016 to 2020, around US$0.19 to US$0.25, before accelerating markedly. From 2021 onwards, there was a pronounced rise in operating profit per share, reaching US$0.64 in 2022, US$1.44 in 2023, and US$2.04 in 2025. This indicates an improved operational performance particularly in the most recent years.
Price to Operating Profit Ratio (P/OP) Analysis
The P/OP ratio has exhibited considerable variability across the years. Initially, it ranged from approximately 8 to 12, reflecting relatively balanced valuation against earnings until around 2011. Thereafter, the ratio increased notably, peaking at 20.76 in 2013 and remaining elevated with spikes, implying periods where the share price outpaced operating profit growth. Recent years show a decline in this ratio to around 10.82 in 2022, but then rising sharply again to 17.74 in 2023 and 22.32 in early 2025. The higher P/OP in these periods suggests increasing market optimism or expectations of future profitability beyond current operating profits.
Overall Insights
The data reflects a company transitioning from relatively stable but modest financial performance to a phase of rapid growth in both valuation and operating profits. The significant increase in share price and operating profits per share from 2021 onwards highlights a positive shift in financial outcomes. However, the rising P/OP ratio in the most recent years indicates that the share price growth is outpacing operating profit growth, suggesting heightened market expectations. Continued monitoring of operating profit trends relative to share price movements will be critical to assess the sustainability of this valuation expansion.
