The analysis of the annual financial data reveals notable upward trends in key performance metrics over the period examined.

Share Price
The share price exhibited significant growth from US$3.48 in 2006 to US$107.73 in 2022. The progression was generally consistent, with periodic accelerations such as the jump from US$11.63 in 2014 to US$22.41 in 2015, and continued increases thereafter. This steady appreciation indicates strong investor confidence and market valuation enhancement over the years.
Sales per Share
Sales per share increased steadily from US$1.40 in 2006 to US$8.40 in 2022. The trend reflects a sustained improvement in revenue generation on a per-share basis. The growth trajectory was relatively smooth, with notable incremental rises such as from US$3.87 in 2016 to US$5.45 in 2018. This suggests expanding operational performance and successful sales growth.
Price-to-Sales Ratio (P/S)
The P/S ratio moved upward from 2.48 in 2006 to 12.83 in 2022, indicating that the market valuation has increased faster than sales per share. After a period of fluctuation with a low near 2.27 in 2008 and highs around 6.75 in 2011, the ratio showed a strong rising trend post-2014, reaching a peak of 12.83 by 2022. This implies heightened market expectations and perceived growth potential relative to current sales levels.

Overall, the data portrays a company with steadily improving sales metrics coupled with a sharply rising equity market valuation. The accelerating P/S ratio towards the later years underscores investor optimism and possibly greater anticipated future growth or profitability. The alignment of growing sales per share and share price appreciation suggests effective translation of revenue gains into shareholder value.
