The data reveals several notable trends in the financial metrics analyzed over the 15-year period.

Share Price
The share price showed an overall upward trajectory from 23.77 US$ in 2005 to a peak of 71.32 US$ in 2016. This growth was generally consistent, with occasional dips, such as declines observed between 2016 and 2018 when the price decreased from 71.32 to 44.26 US$. A recovery is seen in 2019, with the share price rising back to 52.52 US$.
Sales per Share
Sales per share steadily increased from 15.36 US$ in 2005 to 29.45 US$ in 2014, indicating consistent growth in revenue generation relative to shares outstanding. However, after 2014, sales per share slightly declined and fluctuated around the mid to high 20 US$ range, reaching 28.02 US$ by 2019. This represents a slowing growth rate and some stabilization in sales performance per share.
Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio
The P/S ratio started at 1.55 in 2005 and experienced moderate fluctuations throughout the years. Notably, it rose to a high of 2.57 in 2016, indicating that the market valued the company's sales at a premium during that time. After 2016, the ratio decreased but remained relatively elevated between 1.67 and 1.87 through 2019. This suggests that the market maintained a relatively favorable valuation of the company’s sales despite the stabilization in sales per share.

Overall, the data suggests a period of strong market confidence and growing sales up to around 2014-2016, followed by a phase of price correction and stabilization of sales metrics. The fluctuation in P/S ratios around this period indicates changing investor sentiment and valuation multiples applied to the company's revenues.
