Share Price
The share price exhibits a generally upward trajectory over the analyzed period, increasing from $62.49 in 2013 to a peak of $264.32 in early 2024. Despite some fluctuations, including declines around 2015-2016 and 2021-2023, the overall trend reflects substantial growth. The price reached its highest point in 2024 before experiencing a slight decrease in 2025.
Sales per Share
Sales per share show a consistent and robust growth pattern throughout the period, rising steadily from $1.65 in 2013 to $31.75 in 2025. This increase indicates expanding revenue generation capacity on a per-share basis, with no evident periods of decline or stagnation, reflecting strong operational performance.
Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio
The P/S ratio demonstrates a notable downward trend from 37.91 in 2013 to 7.65 in 2025, with some intermediate fluctuations. Early years featured extremely high ratios, which gradually diminished, indicating that the share price growth did not keep pace proportionally with sales increases. The lower ratio in later years could suggest a revaluation of the stock relative to its sales or improved sales growth driving the price adjustment.
Overall Insights
The data reveal that while the share price has grown significantly, sales per share have increased at a faster and steadier rate, causing the P/S ratio to decrease over time. This could imply enhanced operational efficiency or market adjustments in valuation practices. The consistent sales growth per share contrasts with the more volatile share price movements, highlighting potential shifts in market sentiment or external factors affecting valuation beyond fundamental sales performance.
