Share Price Trend
The share price exhibits an overall upward trend from 2006 through 2025, increasing from $20.99 to $70.04. Noteworthy fluctuations include a decline from $29.73 in 2008 to $20.54 in 2009, followed by a steady recovery and growth. Periods of moderate decreases occurred in 2016 and 2023, but the long-term trajectory remains positive.
Sales Per Share Dynamics
Sales per share generally increase from 4.88 USD in 2006, peaking at 10.77 USD in 2013 before declining to a low of 7.45 USD in 2019. Since then, sales per share have recovered gradually, reaching 10.94 USD by 2025. The pattern suggests cyclicality, with a period of growth followed by contraction and then renewed growth.
Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio Analysis
The P/S ratio shows variability over time, starting at 4.3 in 2006, with a dip to 2.98 in 2009 reflecting the share price drop combined with increased sales per share. Post-2009, the P/S ratio fluctuates, reaching a high of 6.99 in 2022 before slightly decreasing. The ratio’s rise generally corresponds with increased market valuation relative to sales, indicating periods when the stock was perceived as more valuable per unit of sales.
Relationships Between Metrics
An inverse relationship is occasionally observed between sales per share and P/S ratio; for example, as sales per share decreased between 2013 and 2019, the P/S ratio increased, possibly reflecting investor optimism or other market factors independent of sales growth. In contrast, during the 2008–2009 downturn, both share price and P/S ratio declined sharply, consistent with reduced market confidence.
Summary of Insights
The financial data indicates strong long-term growth in share price despite periodic volatility. Sales per share show a cyclical pattern with a peak around 2013, followed by a decline and subsequent recovery. The P/S ratio suggests fluctuating market sentiment, with periods of high valuation relative to sales. Overall, the company appears to maintain investor confidence with growth in market valuation outpacing sales improvements in recent years.
