- Share Price Trend
- The share price exhibited a generally volatile pattern over the analyzed period. It started at $46.09 in 2005 and declined to a low of $25.20 in 2008, which reflects a significant decrease likely influenced by broader market conditions. Subsequently, the price gradually recovered, reaching a peak of $84.95 in 2015. After this peak, the share price declined moderately, ending at $55.80 in 2019. Overall, the share price showed periods of recovery and decline, with considerable fluctuations rather than consistent growth.
- Sales per Share Trend
- Sales per share demonstrated a steady upward trajectory throughout the period. Starting from $41.70 in 2005, it consistently increased year over year, reaching $153.34 by 2019. This growth indicates improving revenue generation relative to the number of shares outstanding, suggesting positive operational performance and expansion in sales activities over time.
- Price-to-Sales Ratio (P/S) Trend
- The price-to-sales ratio showed a declining trend overall, starting at 1.11 in 2005 and dropping to 0.36 by 2019. The ratio fell sharply during the financial crisis period (2008–2009), dropping to as low as 0.42 and 0.61, and remained below 1.0 throughout the period, indicating that the market valuation relative to sales was low. Despite the increase in sales per share, the declining P/S ratio suggests that the stock price did not keep pace proportionally, possibly reflecting cautious investor sentiment or market undervaluation during many years.
- Combined Analysis
- While sales per share improved substantially, the share price exhibited volatility with an upward trend only evident between 2009 and 2015, followed by a decline. The decreasing P/S ratio over time suggests that the stock became relatively cheaper in terms of its sales revenue. This divergence between rising sales and falling valuation multiples could indicate market concerns about profitability, competitive pressures, or other risk factors affecting investor confidence despite sales growth.
