- Share Price Trend
- The share price exhibited significant fluctuations over the analyzed period. Initially, it increased moderately from $73.2 in February 2006 to a peak of $79.95 in February 2008, followed by a sharp decline to $47.42 in February 2009. Subsequently, the price experienced a strong recovery and steady growth, reaching a high of $222.89 in February 2018. Post-2018, the share price showed a downward trend with some volatility, decreasing to $163.64 by February 2022.
- Operating Profit per Share
- The operating profit per share demonstrated a general upward trend throughout the period. Starting at $6.63 in February 2006, it rose steadily with minor fluctuations, peaking at $13.13 in February 2018. After a slight dip to $10.73 in February 2020, it recovered again to $12.9 by February 2022, indicating improved profitability over the long term despite interim declines.
- Price to Operating Profit Ratio (P/OP)
- The P/OP ratio showed considerable variation, reflecting changes in share price relative to operating profit per share. Early values were relatively low, with a low of 6.31 in February 2009, corresponding to the share price trough during the financial crisis. Thereafter, the ratio increased steadily, peaking at 16.97 in February 2018, suggesting elevated market valuation relative to operating profits. Following this peak, the ratio declined gradually to 12.68 by February 2022, indicating a moderation in market price relative to earnings.
- Overall Insight
- The data indicates that the company’s share price and operating profit per share generally trended upward over the long term, with notable volatility during economic downturns and recoveries. The P/OP ratio's fluctuations imply that market sentiment and valuation multiples varied significantly, especially around 2009 and 2018. The divergence between share price peaks and operating profit growth in later years suggests periods where market valuation outpaced earnings increases, followed by corrections towards more balanced levels.
