Share Price Trend
The share price demonstrated an overall upward trajectory from 2006 through 2025, increasing from $14.52 to $350.02. There were periods of volatility, such as a decline between 2007 ($22.18) and 2009 ($15.40), followed by steady growth. Notable major increases occurred post-2013, with the price peaking at $350.02 in 2025 after a temporary dip in 2023 to $222.63.
Sales per Share Pattern
Sales per share generally exhibited consistent growth over the examined years. Starting at $17.72 in 2006, this figure increased steadily to reach $91.89 by 2025. Minor fluctuations were observed around 2009 and 2020, but the long-term trend indicates expanding sales generated per share.
Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio Analysis
The P/S ratio showed considerable variability, reflecting changes in market valuation relative to sales per share. Initially moving from 0.82 in 2006 to a low of 0.68 in 2009, it then rose sharply to above 3.5 by 2021, indicating an increase in investor valuation relative to sales. A slight decline was noted in 2023 to 2.6, followed by a recovery to 3.81 in 2025. This pattern suggests periods of increasing market optimism and valuation multiples over time, especially in the later years.
Overall Insights
The data indicates robust growth in both share price and sales per share over the analyzed period, with the company's market valuation (expressed through the P/S ratio) generally expanding. The temporal disconnects between sales growth and share price appreciation, evidenced by fluctuations in the P/S ratio, may suggest varying investor sentiment and market dynamics affecting valuation beyond fundamental sales performance. The sustained increase in financial metrics by 2025 reflects strengthened company performance and market confidence.
