Price to Earnings (P/E) Ratio
The Price to Earnings ratio demonstrates a significant decline from extremely elevated levels in mid-2019, starting at 556.06, and gradually decreasing to a more normalized range around 50-60 by 2024. There is a noticeable peak around early 2022 with the ratio rising to 95.44 before settling again into the 40s and 50s range towards the latest periods. This trend suggests that market sentiment or earnings variability affected valuation multiples early on, but later periods reflect stabilization and possibly improved earnings performance relative to price.
Price to Operating Profit (P/OP) Ratio
The Price to Operating Profit ratio also shows a marked downward trend from a very high value of 637.38 in early 2019 to much lower values below 50 by 2024. This decline indicates an improvement in operating profit relative to market price or a correction from previously overextended valuations. After peaking above 100 in 2020 and fluctuating somewhat through 2021, the ratio steadily decreases through consequent years, reaching the lowest recorded levels near 38.95 in early 2024 before a slight uptick thereafter. This suggests a stronger operating profitability or more conservative market pricing over time.
Price to Sales (P/S) Ratio
The Price to Sales ratio reflects a fluctuating but generally declining pattern from a high around 16.75 in late 2020 down to values in the 8-10 range in 2023 and 2024. Notably, there is a substantial peak of 16.75 in October 2020, followed by a steady decrease over subsequent periods. This indicates that sales growth or revenue generation either improved relative to price or the market adjusted its valuation metrics downward. The minor recovery towards 10.78 by late 2024 suggests some renewed investor confidence or increase in sales relative to price.
Price to Book Value (P/BV) Ratio
The Price to Book Value ratio shows a highly volatile and extreme initial range, with values above 800 in early 2021, which sharply drop to a range between approximately 20 to 70 in the succeeding periods. This extreme volatility early on may be attributed to unusual accounting impacts or market sentiment extremes. From 2022 forward, the ratio stabilizes somewhat but still shows variability, fluctuating mainly between the high 20s and upper 60s, with a general trend toward the lower end by 2024. This movement suggests normalization of book value valuation from previously inflated multiples.
Overall Analysis
Across all valuation multiples, there is a clear pattern of normalization from initially very elevated ratios in 2019 and 2020 towards more moderate and stable levels by 2024. The large declines in P/E and P/OP ratios signify improvements in earnings and operating profit metrics relative to stock price or a market adjustment in valuation. The Price to Sales and Price to Book ratios also show similar trends, with initial peaks followed by decreases and signs of stabilization. These trends likely reflect a transition from earlier market exuberance or external factors impacting valuations, moving toward valuations more closely aligned with underlying financial performance over the observed periods.

The financial data over the examined periods reveals several notable trends regarding share price, earnings per share (EPS), and price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio.

Share Price
The share price has demonstrated considerable volatility over the periods analyzed. Initially, it decreased from $159.91 to $144.34 but then increased markedly to $278 by October 2020. Following this peak, the price declined sharply to $188.70 in January 2022. Subsequently, it stabilized and showed a gradual upward trend again, reaching close to $299 in the latest period. The fluctuations suggest periods of significant market reassessment or reaction to company or market events, with a recent trend indicating renewed investor confidence.
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
EPS data shows a general upward trajectory despite some fluctuations. Starting from a negative EPS of -$0.10, there was a consistent increase up to $6.00 by October 2021, indicating substantial growth in profitability. A notable drop occurred thereafter with EPS falling to around $2.24-$2.58 between April 2022 and October 2022. However, from January 2023 onwards, EPS resumed an upward trend, moving steadily upwards to $5.07 by the most recent period, suggesting a recovery and strengthening in earnings performance.
Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio
The P/E ratio exhibited significant changes. Early on, very high ratios were recorded, such as 556.06 and 263.67, indicating potentially overvalued share prices relative to earnings or very low earnings figures. Over time, the P/E ratio broadly contracted and stabilized within the range of approximately 40 to 80 from mid-2020 to early 2024. Recent periods show P/E ratios slightly increasing from around 47 to 59, which may indicate that the share price is growing at a faster pace relative to earnings or that investors expect future earnings growth.

In summary, the company experienced an overall positive trend in earnings, despite some periods of decreased profitability, particularly around 2022. Share prices have mirrored this pattern but with sharper fluctuations, showing strong growth phases and corrections. The P/E ratio has generally moved toward more moderate levels after an initially elevated range, reflecting adjustments in market valuation aligned with earnings growth. The data points toward improving financial performance accompanied by variable market sentiment over the analyzed time frame.

The financial data reveals several meaningful trends in the company's share price, operating profit per share, and the price-to-operating-profit (P/OP) ratio over the specified periods.

Share Price

The share price exhibited considerable volatility across the observed quarters. Starting from approximately $160 in April 2019, it experienced fluctuations with peaks notably around July 2020 ($261.35) and July 2021 ($303.24). Following this high, the price declined sharply in early 2022 to around $188.7 and showed moderate recovery afterward, reaching nearly $299 by October 2024. The recent upward trend suggests renewed positive market sentiment or improved fundamentals contributing to share price appreciation.

Operating Profit Per Share

A steady and consistent growth is observable in operating profit per share throughout the period. Beginning at $0.25 in April 2019, the figure steadily increased each quarter, reaching $6.06 by October 2024. This consistent upward momentum reflects effective operational management and potentially growing revenue or improved cost control, indicating strengthening profitability per share over time.

Price-to-Operating-Profit (P/OP) Ratio

The P/OP ratio, which measures the share price relative to the operating profit per share, generally declined over the timeline. Initially extremely high at 637.38 in April 2019—possibly due to low profitability—the ratio decreased substantially to below 50 in recent years, fluctuating around the mid-40s to high 30s before modestly increasing to approximately 49.33 by October 2024. This decline in ratio indicates that the market valuation has become more aligned with the increasing operating profit, reflecting possibly improved investor confidence in the company’s earnings stability and value.

Overall, the data points to a company experiencing strong and consistent growth in operating profitability accompanied by fluctuating but generally improving market valuation multiples. The recovery in share price following declines and the solid improvement in operating profit per share underpin a positive financial performance outlook.

Share Price Trend
The share price exhibited notable fluctuations over the observed periods. Initially, it decreased from approximately 159.91 US$ to a low near 144.34 US$ in mid-2019, followed by a general uptrend reaching a peak around 278 US$ by late 2020. A subsequent decline took place during 2021, dropping to about 188.7 US$, before stabilizing and recovering moderately in the following years. More recently, the share price increased steadily, reaching a level near 298.96 US$ by late 2024.
Sales per Share
Sales per share demonstrated consistent growth throughout the entire period. Starting from around 12.5 US$ in early 2019, the figure increased steadily quarter over quarter, achieving a level near 27.73 US$ by late 2024. This persistent upward trajectory indicates ongoing revenue growth on a per-share basis without signs of slowdown.
Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio
The P/S ratio experienced considerable volatility. Early periods showed moderate ratios fluctuating between approximately 10 and 13.5. A sharp increase occurred in mid to late 2020, peaking at about 16.75, indicating elevated market valuation relative to sales. However, this was followed by a pronounced decline in 2021, reaching a low near 8.35. Subsequently, the P/S ratio trended upward moderately, stabilizing around 10.78 by late 2024, suggesting a recovery in market valuation relative to underlying sales.
Overall Insights
The data indicates sustained revenue growth, as evidenced by the steady increase in sales per share. The share price, while volatile, generally aligns with the growth in sales but with more pronounced peaks and troughs, reflecting market sentiment and external factors impacting valuation. The P/S ratio's volatility suggests fluctuating investor confidence or changing market conditions influencing how the market prices the company relative to its sales. Despite these fluctuations, the recent upward trend in both share price and P/S ratio suggests improving market perception and potentially stronger growth expectations going forward.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals distinct trends in the share price, book value per share (BVPS), and the price-to-book value (P/BV) ratio over the observed periods.

Share Price
The share price exhibits notable fluctuations across the timeline. Starting at $159.91, it experienced periods of both growth and decline. A significant peak is observed around July 2020 at $261.35, followed by a further increase reaching $303.24 in July 2021. After this peak, the price declined considerably to $188.7 by January 2022, then fluctuated moderately within a range of approximately $194 to $221 between April 2022 and January 2024. In the latter part of the data, there is a marked resurgence, with the price rising to $298.96 by October 2024, indicating renewed investor confidence or improved market conditions.
Book Value Per Share (BVPS)
Initially negative, BVPS shows a steady upward trend over the period. Starting at -$1.12, it gradually improved to positive territory by July 2020, reaching $0.31, and then experienced a sharp increase to $4.4 in January 2021. Following this, the BVPS maintained a generally positive trajectory with some volatility, peaking multiple times over subsequent quarters, culminating at $12.17 by October 2024. This consistent growth in BVPS suggests improvements in the underlying net asset value attributed to each share, reflecting strengthened equity.
Price-to-Book Value (P/BV) Ratio
The P/BV ratio presents an unusual pattern during earlier quarters with exceptionally high values (e.g., 851.54 and 882.1), which may be attributed to the negative or very low BVPS values skewing the ratio. From October 2020 onwards, the ratio stabilized significantly, fluctuating within a range of about 21.81 to 68.31. A decreasing trend is evident from mid-2021 forward, with the ratio declining from over 50 to below 25 by October 2024. This decline in P/BV ratio alongside an increasing BVPS indicates that the share price growth is not as rapid as the growth in book value, possibly signaling a more balanced valuation as the company’s equity base strengthens.

Overall, the data indicates a company transitioning from a period of negative book value per share to significant asset base growth, with the share price reflecting market sentiment that includes cycles of optimism and correction. The P/BV ratio’s trend towards normalization supports the interpretation of a maturing valuation landscape over the period assessed.
