Share Price Trends
The share price demonstrated a general upward trend over the examined period from 2005 to 2021. Starting at $58.13 in December 2005, the price increased steadily with occasional fluctuations, reaching $244.46 by November 2021. Notable increases occurred between 2012 and 2014, where the price rose from approximately $76.82 to $141.26, and continued on an upward trajectory until peaking at $260.40 in 2019. A slight decline was observed in 2020, followed by a recovery in 2021.
Operating Profit Per Share (OPPS) Analysis
Operating profit per share exhibited variability throughout the period. Beginning at $4.09 in 2005, it generally trended upwards, peaking at $8.21 in 2011. However, subsequent years showed fluctuations, including declines in 2013 and 2015 with values of $6.46 and $5.10 respectively. After 2015, OPPS stabilized between $5.10 and $6.74 until 2020, after which a notable increase occurred in 2021, reaching the highest value of $9.85 in the dataset.
Price-to-Operating Profit Ratio (P/OP)
The P/OP ratio showed significant volatility. Initially, it ranged from approximately 14.21 in 2005 to a low of 8.62 in 2011, indicating relatively lower share price multiples compared to operating profit. Post-2011, the ratio increased sharply, peaking at an unusually high 44.46 in 2020, signaling elevated share price relative to operating profit or a decrease in operating profit per share. The ratio then declined to 24.81 in 2021, suggesting some correction or improvement in operating profit relative to share price during the last year analyzed.
Overall Observations
Overall, the share price increased markedly over the considered period, reflecting positive valuation trends despite operational profit fluctuations. Operating profit per share exhibited cyclical behavior with periods of growth and decline, but ultimately showed a strong recovery by 2021. The P/OP ratio’s increase after 2011 indicated increasing market valuation multiples which may reflect external market conditions, investor expectations, or temporary profit variances. The sharp rise in the ratio in 2020 followed by a decrease in 2021 could be indicative of volatility during that period.
