The analysis of the financial data over the indicated periods reveals several notable trends in the company's share price, sales per share, and price-to-sales (P/S) ratio.

Share Price
The share price demonstrates significant volatility throughout the timeline. Initially, there is a general upward trend from a price of 73.86 US$ in March 2006, peaking at 84.34 US$ in March 2007. This is followed by a sharp decline to 15.44 US$ by February 2009, likely reflecting adverse market or company-specific conditions during that period. Subsequently, the share price recovers gradually, reaching a high of 74.59 US$ in February 2017. However, after this peak, there is a gradual decline again, falling to 40.9 US$ by February 2024. The overall pattern indicates periods of recovery interrupted by significant decreases, suggesting cycles of market confidence and challenges facing the company.
Sales Per Share
Sales per share exhibit a downward trend during the early years, dropping sharply from 46.89 US$ in 2006 to a low of 9.37 US$ in 2009. After this low point, sales per share stabilize and show a slight upward trend, increasing gradually to a peak of 14.31 US$ in 2022 before slightly declining again to 13.88 US$ in 2024. The initial steep decline points to substantial challenges in revenue generation per share during the earlier period, with stabilization and modest growth observed in the more recent years.
Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio
The P/S ratio fluctuates considerably across the timeline, starting at 1.58 in 2006 and increasing to a peak of 5.62 in 2017. This rise is indicative of an increasing market valuation relative to sales, possibly reflecting heightened investor expectations or improved profitability margins during that period. Post-2017, the P/S ratio decreases steadily to 2.95 by 2024, suggesting a recalibration of market valuation relative to sales or adjustments in sales or share price dynamics.

In summary, the share price and sales per share data indicate early volatility and a significant downturn around 2009, followed by periods of recovery and stabilization. Meanwhile, the P/S ratio trends reveal shifting market perceptions of the company's valuation relative to its sales, with a notable peak in 2017 and a decline thereafter. These patterns reflect the company’s fluctuating financial performance and market sentiment over the analyzed period.
