The financial data reveals distinct trends and fluctuations in share price, sales per share, and the price-to-sales (P/S) ratio over the observed years.
- Share Price
- The share price initially increased from $72.69 in 2006 to a peak around 2007 of $90.94, but then it sharply declined to $42.8 by 2009. From 2009 onward, there was a recovery and steady growth, reaching a significant peak of $404.91 in 2019. Following this peak, the share price experienced a steep decline to approximately $175.87 by 2025, indicating increased volatility and downward pressure in the most recent years.
- Sales Per Share
- Sales per share generally trended upward in the earlier years, increasing from $68.52 in 2006 to a peak of $178.99 noted in 2019. After 2019, sales per share dropped markedly, falling to $88.68 by 2025. This pattern suggests that while sales growth was strong for more than a decade, there was a significant decrease in per-share sales in the latest periods.
- Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio
- The P/S ratio fluctuated considerably, starting near parity at 1.06 in 2006 and dipping to a low of 0.51 in 2009, reflecting a period when share prices were low relative to sales. After 2009, the ratio recovered and climbed to about 2.34 by 2020, signaling that the market valuation per dollar of sales more than doubled compared to earlier years. After peaking, the P/S ratio moderately declined but remained elevated above 1.5, indicating a relatively high market valuation compared to sales through to 2025.
Overall, the data illustrates a period of volatility with significant growth phases followed by sharp declines, especially pronounced in the years after 2019. The alignment of share price and sales per share trends suggests an initial growth phase in business performance followed by a recent downturn. The P/S ratio indicates that market valuations have at times significantly outpaced sales growth, especially during the high valuation years around 2018 to 2020. Recent declines in share price and sales per share, while the P/S ratio remains comparatively high, could imply market expectations of future recovery or continuing operational challenges.
