The analysis of the financial indicators over the observed periods reveals several notable trends and patterns.

Share Price Movement
The share price demonstrates an overall long-term upward trend from 31.4 USD in March 2006 to a peak of 262.39 USD by February 2022. There were fluctuations, including a decline around 2009 to 25.97 USD, and a more recent dip after 2022 when the price dropped to 207.95 USD by February 2025. Despite these declines, the general trajectory over the period is significantly positive.
Sales Per Share
Sales per share increased from 13.06 USD in 2006 to a peak of 43.20 USD in 2023, indicating growth in revenue generated per share over time. However, there are periods where sales per share declined, particularly noticeable around 2016 and again after 2023, where it decreased to 32.30 USD and then slightly rose to 33.41 USD by 2025. These dips suggest some volatility in revenue growth.
Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio
The P/S ratio exhibits a general increasing trend over the years, starting at 2.4 in 2006 and reaching a high of 7.76 in 2024. This implies that the market valuation of the company relative to its sales per share has grown substantially, indicating increased investor confidence or expectations. The ratio shows variability, with notable lower values around 2009 and 2010 (close to 1.3 and 2.16 respectively), followed by steady growth, which may reflect changes in market conditions or company performance.

Overall, the data indicate strong appreciation in the equity market valuation of the company, supported by rising sales per share, albeit with intermittent declines. The increasing P/S ratio underscores a trend of heightened valuation multiples, which might reflect favorable market perceptions or growth prospects despite some recent softening in share price and sales performance near the end of the period.
