- Share Price Trend
- The share price exhibited significant volatility over the observed period. It started at $39.49 in 2006, declined sharply to a low point around 2008 at $18.21, then showed gradual recovery and subsequent growth. From 2013 onward, the share price substantially increased, reaching $426.29 by 2023 and further rising to $462.58 in 2024. Despite some fluctuations, the overall trajectory from 2010 to 2024 is strongly upward, indicating increased market valuation and investor confidence.
- Sales Per Share
- Sales per share showed a mixed pattern in the early years, with some decreases noted between 2006 and 2010, dropping to as low as $0.51 in 2010. However, from 2010 onwards there is a marked and consistent increase in sales per share, accelerating notably after 2012. The figure rose from $6.71 in 2012 to $42.91 in 2025, reflecting a substantial growth in revenue generation capacity per share over time.
- Price-to-Sales Ratio (P/S)
- The price-to-sales ratio demonstrates considerable fluctuation consistent with the movements in share price and sales per share. Early in the timeline, the ratio was very high, peaking at 80.12 in 2010, suggesting that the share price was very high relative to sales at that time, possibly due to speculative trading or expectations unmet by actual sales. Post-2011, the P/S ratio declined significantly and stabilized, fluctuating mostly between 5 and 17, which reflects a more balanced valuation relative to sales. From about 2016 onwards, the P/S ratio remained relatively stable in a range between approximately 8 and 16, indicating a consistent market valuation in relation to company sales.
- Overall Insights
- The extensive growth in sales per share coupled with a rising share price indicates robust operational performance and growth in shareholder value over the long term. The early period's high P/S ratios may denote overvaluation or market uncertainty, while the subsequent normalization aligns with improved financial metrics and investor confidence. The data suggest that the company's market capitalization growth is supported by real increases in sales revenue rather than speculative factors alone.
