- Share Price Trends
- The share price exhibited an overall upward trajectory from 2005 to 2024, increasing from $26.31 to $361.07. There were fluctuations along this period, including a decline between 2007 and 2008, where the price dropped from $39.85 to $31.86, and a notable decrease from $341.82 in 2021 to $250.07 in 2022. Despite these interim declines, the share price showed strong recovery and growth, particularly visible after 2014, with marked acceleration from 2020 onward.
- Operating Profit Per Share (OPPS) Trends
- Operating profit per share demonstrated consistent growth over the analyzed years. Starting at $2.46 in 2005, it increased steadily with occasional slight declines, such as from $4.13 in 2008 to $3.69 in 2009 and from $14.85 in 2022 to $14.03 in 2023. By 2024, the OPPS reached $15.35, highlighting robust and sustained operational profitability improvement over the two decades.
- Price to Operating Profit Ratio (P/OP) Patterns
- The P/OP ratio showed notable variability throughout the period. Initially, the ratio was lower at 10.72 in 2005, then fluctuated, reaching a minimum of 7.72 in 2008 and peaking at 28.35 in 2021. The ratio’s significant increase post-2014 indicates growing market valuations relative to operating profit, reflecting either increasing investor confidence or elevated price expectations. After the 2021 peak, the ratio declined to 16.83 in 2022, before rising again to 23.52 in 2024, suggesting some volatility in market sentiment or valuation multiples.
- Overall Insights
- The data reflects a company with a generally improving financial performance as evidenced by rising operating profit per share and share price over the long term. The fluctuation in P/OP ratio implies changing market perceptions of profitability and growth prospects, with a trend towards higher valuation multiples in recent years. Periods of share price and OPPS declines correspond with broader market or operational challenges but are typically followed by recovery and growth. The divergence between rising share prices and fluctuating P/OP ratios in some years suggests that valuation is influenced by factors beyond immediate operating profit figures.
