- Share Price Trend
- The share price exhibited an overall upward trend from 2005 to 2014, increasing steadily from $13.53 to a peak of $100.62 in August 2014. Following this peak, the share price experienced notable volatility and a downward correction, declining sharply to $37.84 by August 2020. Subsequent years saw a partial recovery with fluctuations, rising to $63.24 in August 2021 before declining again to $40.42 by August 2023.
- Sales per Share Trend
- Sales per share generally increased from $16.80 in 2005 to a peak of $70.86 in August 2018, indicating growth in revenue generated per share over the period. However, after 2018 sales per share decreased to $38.27 by August 2023, suggesting a contraction or slowdown in sales relative to previous periods.
- Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio Analysis
- The P/S ratio demonstrated variability during the period. Initially, it fluctuated between 0.57 and 1.06 until 2014, with a notable spike to 1.56 in 2014 concurrent with the peak in share price. After 2014, the ratio mostly ranged between 0.68 and 1.39, without a consistent trend. This variability indicates fluctuating market valuation of the company’s sales, with periods of high investor optimism followed by corrections.
- Correlations and Insights
- The data show that while sales per share generally trended upward until 2018, the share price peaked earlier in 2014 and experienced a more volatile pattern afterward. The divergence between share price and sales per share post-2014 suggests market factors beyond sales growth affected valuation, such as profitability, risk perception, or broader market conditions. The P/S ratio variations reinforce this observation, indicating fluctuating market sentiment relative to the company’s sales performance.
