Share Price Trends
The share price showed considerable fluctuation over the observed period. Initially, it declined from $37.74 in 2005 to $24.77 in 2009, reflecting a downward trend during those years. From 2010 onward, the share price generally increased, peaking at $317.05 in 2022. However, some volatility appeared around this peak, with a dip to $287.97 in 2023 followed by a rebound to $378.99 in 2024. Notably, in 2025, there was a slight decrease to $351.15.
Sales per Share Development
Sales per share exhibited a steady upward trajectory throughout the period. Beginning at $33.86 in 2005, sales per share grew consistently to reach $160.47 by 2025. This growth was generally smooth with no significant declines, indicating improving revenue generation on a per-share basis over time.
Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio Behavior
The P/S ratio initially decreased from 1.11 in 2005 to a low of 0.59 in 2009, suggesting that share prices were low relative to sales during this period. From 2010, the P/S ratio steadily increased, peaking at 2.46 in 2024, indicating that investor valuations became more optimistic relative to sales. The ratio slightly declined to 2.19 in 2025, reflecting minor valuation adjustment.
Overall Insights
The early period (2005–2009) was characterized by declining share prices and P/S ratios despite relatively stable sales per share, likely indicating market pessimism or external economic challenges. Post-2010, the company experienced sustained improvements in sales per share accompanied by increasing share prices and elevated P/S ratios, which points to growing investor confidence and stronger financial performance. The moderate fluctuations in recent years suggest some market volatility but overall positive valuation trends compared to historical lows.
