Time Warner Inc. (NYSE:TWX)

The data reveals significant fluctuations and notable trends across the analyzed time periods.

Share Price

The share price exhibits considerable volatility. It started at $51.93 in February 2006, peaked at $64.5 in 2007, then sharply declined to a low of $22.05 in 2009, likely reflecting adverse market or company-specific conditions during that year. Following this dip, there is a consistent upward trend, reaching a maximum of $97.06 in 2017 before slightly declining to $94.37 in 2018. Overall, the share price roughly doubled from its 2006 value by the end of the period.

Sales per Share

Sales per share generally increased over the period, with some fluctuations. The figure rose steadily from $29.07 in 2006 to a peak of $39.29 in 2009, despite the concurrent low in share price. A notable drop is observed in 2010 to $22.42, after which sales per share recovered and grew steadily to $40.10 by 2018. This suggests an underlying growth in revenue generation capacity per share over the long term, despite intermittent setbacks.

Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio

The P/S ratio shows variability aligned with share price movements, indicating changing market valuation relative to sales. Initially, it remains relatively stable around 1.7 to 1.8 between 2006 and 2007. It then dips significantly to a low of 0.56 in 2009, reflecting the sharp decrease in share price relative to sales per share. Following 2009, the ratio fluctuates between approximately 1.26 and 2.56, peaking in 2017 coinciding with the highest share price. This trend suggests periods of both undervaluation and premium pricing relative to sales, reflecting market optimism or caution in different years.

In summary, the share price and P/S ratio variability indicate sensitive market reactions possibly connected to external economic factors or company performance, while sales per share demonstrate a generally positive growth trend. The dip in both share price and P/S ratio in 2009 corresponds to a significant market downturn or company crisis, followed by a recovery phase resulting in higher valuations and improved sales metrics by the end of the period analyzed.
