The analysis of the financial data reveals distinct trends in the share price, sales per share, and price-to-sales (P/S) ratio over the twenty-year period ending in March 2025.
- Share Price
- The share price exhibits notable volatility. Initially, it rose from $49.75 in 2005 to a peak near $59.58 in 2007, then experienced a sharp decline to $29.97 in 2009, reflecting possible market or company-specific challenges during that period. Subsequently, the share price recovered and generally increased, reaching a high point of $216 in March 2022. However, following this peak, the price declined again, falling to $107.28 by March 2025, indicating a significant correction or market adjustment in the latter years.
- Sales Per Share
- Sales per share show a consistent upward trajectory over the entire period, rising from $52.89 in 2005 to $233.91 in 2025. This steady growth indicates strong revenue generation per share, with no significant downturns apparent. The increase, mostly gradual, became more pronounced from around 2016 onwards, suggesting improved sales performance or expansion during that time frame.
- Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio
- The P/S ratio reflects fluctuations in the valuation relative to sales. It started near 0.94 in 2005, dipped to a low of 0.35 in 2009 corresponding to the share price trough, and generally maintained a range between 0.44 and 0.95 in subsequent years. The ratio peaked at 0.95 in 2021, concurrent with the high share price, before declining to 0.46 by 2025, indicating a relative decrease in market valuation compared to sales. This suggests that while sales per share steadily increased, investor pricing of the stock became more conservative following the high valuation phase.
