Share Price Trend
The share price exhibits significant volatility over the observed period. Initially, it decreased sharply from $16.57 in 2008 to $4.19 in 2009. Subsequently, a pronounced upward trajectory is evident, peaking at $478.84 in 2024 before falling back to $341.53 in 2025. Overall, this reflects substantial growth with intermittent corrections.
Sales Per Share (SPS) Development
Sales per share demonstrate consistent growth year over year, rising steadily from $2.03 in 2008 to $87.77 in 2025. The rate of increase accelerates particularly after 2015, indicating expanding revenue generation on a per-share basis. This suggests improving underlying business performance and enhanced operational scale.
Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio Analysis
The P/S ratio displays considerable fluctuations throughout the timeline. Beginning at a high of 8.16 in 2008, it fell sharply to 1.66 in 2009, which aligns with the share price decline. Thereafter, the ratio fluctuates between approximately 3.5 and 10.9, showing cycles of valuation expansion and contraction. Notably, peaks in P/S ratio tend to precede or coincide with periods of rapid share price increases, hinting at changing market sentiment or investor expectations relative to sales growth.
Overall Insights
The data illustrates a company experiencing robust sales growth alongside fluctuating market valuation. The share price gains generally outpace sales per share growth during bull periods, leading to elevated P/S ratios. Conversely, market corrections or increased sales dampen the ratio. The combination of strong, continuous sales growth and volatile valuation suggests a dynamic business environment influenced by market perceptions and possibly external factors affecting investor confidence.
