- Share Price
- The share price exhibited a general upward trend over the analyzed period. Starting at $51.15 in 2006, it experienced fluctuations until 2010, then showed steady growth, reaching $240.69 by 2023. Notably, there was a significant increase from 2013 onward, with a peak in 2020 at $160.11, followed by further growth despite minor variability.
- Operating Profit per Share
- Operating profit per share displayed variability in the initial years, decreasing from $3.60 in 2006 to a low of $2.02 in 2008, but then it consistently grew starting in 2009. From 2009 through 2023, the metric increased steadily from $2.60 to $11.08, indicating improved operational profitability on a per-share basis over time.
- Price to Operating Profit (P/OP) Ratio
- The P/OP ratio showed considerable fluctuations throughout the period. Initially at 14.2 in 2006, it decreased until about 2010, reaching a low near 11.96. Subsequently, the ratio tended to rise with some instability, peaking at 21.72 in 2023. This suggests that despite increasing operating profit per share, the market valuations relative to operating profit have generally become more elevated, especially in the more recent years.
- Overall Observations
- The data reveal a company experiencing improving operational efficiency and profitability per share over time, which is positively reflected in the increasing share price. However, the rising P/OP ratio in recent years indicates that the market valuation has grown disproportionately faster than operating profit, which may reflect heightened investor expectations or premium valuation for future growth prospects. The earlier years' volatility in profit per share and valuation ratios suggests periods of cyclical adjustments or external challenges affecting performance.
