Share Price Trend
The share price exhibited significant volatility over the observed period. Starting at $29.92 in 2006, it rose steadily to a peak of $86.23 in 2012. Following that peak, a downward trend ensued, declining to $29.3 by 2016, indicating a substantial reduction in market valuation after 2012.
Sales per Share Trend
Sales per share showed a general upward trajectory from $13.29 in 2006 to a high of $53.37 in 2014. However, after 2014, sales per share declined to $39.27 by 2016. This suggests growth in business performance up to the mid-period, followed by a notable decline in the most recent years.
Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio Trend
The price-to-sales ratio displayed considerable fluctuation. Initially, it declined from 2.25 in 2006 to a low of 0.74 in 2009, indicating that share prices were relatively low compared to sales. The ratio increased again to 2.75 by 2011, suggesting higher market valuation relative to sales. After 2011, the ratio generally trended downward, falling to 0.75 by 2016, reflecting reduced market confidence or pricing relative to the sales volume in the latter years.
Overall Insights
The data indicates a period of growth in sales per share, reaching a peak around 2014, with increasing share prices until 2012, followed by a decline in both metrics. The P/S ratio's variability suggests changing market sentiment and valuation, with peaks aligning with increased share prices and troughs coinciding with price corrections. The decline in both sales per share and share price after 2014 points to potential challenges faced from that period onwards.
