- Share price trend
- The share price exhibited a general upward trajectory throughout the analyzed period, rising from $7.33 in early 2013 to $202.55 by early 2025. Notable increases occurred between 2016 and 2021, with the price peaking at $118.26 in February 2021. Despite some fluctuations, including periods of slight decline such as from 2021 to 2023, the overall trend indicates significant growth in market valuation over the years.
- Operating profit per share (OP) trend
- Operating profit per share showed initial negative values from 2013 through 2019, highlighting consistent operating losses during these years. There was a marked improvement starting in 2020 when OP turned positive at $0.04 and continued to increase steadily, reaching $1.32 by early 2025. This shift from losses to profitability represents an important development in operational efficiency and financial health.
- P/OP ratio trend
- The price-to-operating-profit ratio, available from 2020 onward, showed a decreasing pattern from 1590.34 in 2020 to 152.95 in 2025. This decline signals that the share price, though increasing, became more aligned with improving operating profits, reducing the previously extreme premium over operating earnings. The ratio's substantial decline suggests growing investor confidence in the company's ability to generate operating profits at higher levels.
- Overall insights
- The data illustrate strong share price growth accompanied by a transition from operating losses to profitability. This improvement is reflected in declining P/OP ratios, indicating that the market valuation became more justified by improving operational results. The progression suggests that operational improvements and profitability gains significantly contributed to enhanced investor perceptions and valuation multiples.
