The analysis of the annual financial data reveals several noteworthy trends in the share price, sales per share, and price-to-sales (P/S) ratio over the examined periods.

Share Price
The share price displays significant volatility throughout the years. Initially, it increased from $33.66 in 2005 to a peak of $42.74 in 2006, then experienced a decline reaching a low of $11 in 2009. Post-2009, the share price showed a recovery trend with fluctuations, rising notably to $79.61 in 2015 before dropping to $42.05 in 2020. Subsequently, the stock price surged sharply, peaking at $295.05 by March 2024, indicating strong market valuation growth in recent years.
Sales Per Share
Sales per share generally exhibit a steady upward trajectory. Starting at $27.18 in 2005, the figure increased consistently to reach $130.98 by 2023 before slightly declining to $120.89 in 2024. This overall growth reflects improving revenue generation on a per-share basis, despite minor decreases in the final year observed.
Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio
The P/S ratio fluctuates considerably, reflecting variations in the market's valuation of the company relative to its sales. Early values show a moderate ratio around 1.24 to 1.39 in 2005-2006, followed by a drop to a low of 0.35 in 2009, coinciding with periods of lower share prices. After 2009, the ratio oscillates between approximately 0.55 and 1.55, indicating fluctuating investor sentiment. The ratio peaks significantly at 2.44 in 2024, suggesting that the share price increase outpaced sales growth during this period, potentially implying heightened market optimism or expectations of future performance.

In summary, while sales per share reflect steady improvement over the years, the share price and P/S ratio have shown volatility with notable peaks and troughs. The recent surge in share price and elevated P/S ratio may warrant further investigation into the underlying drivers, such as market conditions or company-specific developments.
