- Share Price Trend
- The share price exhibited notable volatility over the examined period, starting at $31.56 in late 2005 and rising sharply to a peak of $94.28 by late 2007. Following this peak, the share price experienced a decline to approximately $60.25 in late 2010. Subsequently, a recovery phase is observable, with the share price rising steadily from 2011 to reach a new high of $121.52 by late 2017. This indicates periods of both rapid growth and correction with an overall upward trajectory in the longer term.
- Sales Per Share Analysis
- Sales per share demonstrated a consistent upward trend with some minor fluctuations. Starting at $11.72 in 2005, the values increased steadily to peak at $34.11 in 2015. A slight dip to $30.83 is noticeable in 2016, but sales per share rebounded to $33.26 in 2017. This overall growth suggests improving revenue generation per share over the years, despite some short-term variability.
- Price-to-Sales Ratio (P/S) Dynamics
- The price-to-sales ratio showed substantial variability over the period. Beginning at a moderate ratio of 2.69 in 2005, it surged to a notably high level of 6.02 in 2007, coinciding with the peak in share price. Following 2007, the ratio declined to around 3.08 by 2010, reflecting the falling share price relative to sales per share at that time. From 2011 onward, the P/S ratio oscillated mostly between 2.75 and 3.81, with a slight upward trend toward 3.65 by 2017. This pattern indicates adjustments in market valuation relative to sales, initially peaking during a period of share price increase, followed by stabilization in valuation multiples.
- Overall Observations
- The data reflects a company with growth in both market valuation and sales efficiency. Peaks and troughs in share price correspond with fluctuations in the price-to-sales ratio, suggesting market sentiment and valuation metrics were influenced by broader economic conditions or company-specific events. Despite short-term setbacks, both sales per share and share price display resilience and growth, implying an improving business performance and investor confidence over the long term.
