- Share Price Trend
- The share price shows notable volatility and a generally upward trend over the examined period. Initially, the price was 34.65 US$ in March 2006, increasing to a peak level of 40.5 US$ in February 2007. This was followed by a significant decline to 18.08 US$ in February 2009. From that point, the share price recovered strongly, reaching a new peak of 132.68 US$ in February 2021. The trend continued upwards with prices peaking at 290.38 US$ in February 2025, reflecting substantial growth in market valuation in the latter years.
- Sales per Share Trend
- Sales per share fluctuated but displayed an overall moderate growth during the period. Starting at 37.32 US$ in March 2006, sales per share witnessed increases and decreases, such as dropping to 34.62 US$ in February 2013 and rising to 58.06 US$ in February 2024. The highest observed sales per share was 63.46 US$ in February 2025, indicating a roughly 70% increase from the start of the period. This suggests growing revenue generation capacity relative to the number of shares outstanding.
- Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio Analysis
- The P/S ratio exhibits a pattern of variation aligned with movements in share price and sales per share, with a clear upward trajectory beginning around 2009. The ratio fell sharply from around 0.93-0.96 in 2006-2007 to a low of 0.39 in February 2009, likely triggered by the share price drop during that period. Subsequently, the P/S ratio steadily increased, surpassing 1.0 in 2010 and reaching 4.98 in February 2024, slightly descending to 4.58 in February 2025. This suggests escalating investor willingness to pay a premium over sales, possibly reflecting increased growth expectations or improved profitability metrics not directly captured here.
- Overall Insights
- The data indicates that although sales per share grew at a moderate pace, the share price appreciation was disproportionately higher, particularly from 2010 onwards. This resulted in a rising P/S ratio, which could imply enhanced market sentiment, improved operational efficiency, or strategic advancements that increased the company's valuation multiple. The notable share price recovery post-2009 and sustained increase through 2025 points to significant investor confidence and potentially strong underlying fundamentals.
