Share Price Trend
The share price exhibits an overall upward trajectory over the analyzed period, starting at $18.04 in March 2011 and reaching a peak of $333.04 in February 2021. Despite this significant growth, a decrease to $282.47 is observed by February 2022, indicating potential market correction or external influences affecting valuation.
Sales per Share Trend
Sales per share show a consistent increase across the years, rising from $8.78 in March 2011 to $58.59 in February 2022. The growth is steady with only minor fluctuations, reflecting progressive revenue generation on a per-share basis and possibly improved operational performance or sales expansion.
Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio
The P/S ratio experiences notable volatility throughout the period. Initially, it ranges between 1.6 and 2.66, suggesting stable valuation in relation to sales. However, it peaks sharply at 8.42 in February 2021, coinciding with the highest share price, indicating a period where market valuation significantly outpaced sales growth. In February 2022, the ratio decreases to 4.82, signaling a partial normalization but still reflecting relatively strong investor expectations or premium valuation compared to historical levels.
Combined Insights
While sales per share steadily improve, the disproportionate increase in share price during the last few years, particularly in 2020 and 2021, results in heightened P/S ratios. This suggests that market optimism or speculative factors may have heavily influenced share prices beyond underlying sales performance. The recent decline in both the share price and P/S ratio in 2022 could indicate a market adjustment to align more closely with fundamental sales growth levels.
