Share Price Trends
The share price showed an overall upward trajectory from 2006 to 2016 despite some volatility. Starting at $24.30 in 2006, it rose steadily to $36.33 by early 2008, then declined to $27.45 in 2009, coinciding with a broader market downturn. Subsequent years exhibited recovery and growth, reaching a peak of $76.05 in 2015 before slightly declining to $69.52 in 2016. The general pattern indicates significant appreciation over the examined period, with notable fluctuations likely influenced by market conditions and company performance.
Operating Profit Per Share (OPPS) Analysis
Operating profit per share increased consistently over the period, rising from $2.09 in 2006 to $4.70 in 2016. This upward trend suggests improving profitability on a per-share basis. Notable increments occurred between 2012 and 2013, where OPPS jumped from $3.94 to $5.09, before stabilizing with minor fluctuations in subsequent years. The data indicate enhanced operational efficiency or growth in earnings contributing to shareholder value.
Price to Operating Profit Ratio (P/OP)
The P/OP ratio exhibited considerable variability across the timeframe. Initially stable around 11.63 to 12.73 (2006-2008), there was a sharp decline to 8.38 in 2009, reflecting a drop in share price relative to operating profit during that year. Post-2009, the ratio increased markedly, peaking at 21.16 in 2015, which suggests the market valued earnings more highly or that share price increases outpaced operating profit growth. However, by 2016, the ratio decreased to 14.79, indicating some market correction or alignment of share price with operational earnings.
Overall Insights
The data reveals an improving operational performance as evidenced by steadily rising operating profit per share. Share price appreciation generally mirrors this trend but with higher volatility, notably around economic downturn periods. The fluctuating P/OP ratio suggests changing market sentiment and valuation multiples, with periods where share price growth outpaced earnings and vice versa. This dynamic interplay underscores the importance of both financial performance and market perception in determining share value over time.
