Share Price
The share price exhibited significant volatility over the examined periods. Starting at $77.37 in March 2016, it rose to a peak of $92.94 by February 2017. However, from this point, the price experienced a continuous decline, dropping to $70.80 in February 2018, then sharply falling to $28.74 in June 2019, and further decreasing slightly to $26.88 by February 2020.
Sales Per Share
Sales per share showed an overall stable trend with minor fluctuations. Beginning at $15.09 in March 2016, sales increased substantially to $21.76 by February 2017. The value held relatively steady around the $21.50 mark from 2017 to June 2019, with a slight decrease to $20.45 by February 2020.
Price-to-Sales Ratio (P/S)
The price-to-sales ratio demonstrated a marked downward trend, aligning with the decline in share price. Starting at 5.13 in March 2016, the ratio decreased gradually to 4.27 in February 2017 and 3.29 in February 2018. A more pronounced drop occurred thereafter, falling to 1.33 in June 2019 and slightly further to 1.31 in February 2020. This suggests that the market valuation of the company's sales diminished significantly over the period.
Summary
Overall, the data reveals that while sales per share remained relatively stable after an initial increase, the share price suffered a substantial decline in the latter years. This resulted in a sharp decrease in the price-to-sales ratio, indicating a reduced market valuation relative to sales. The divergence between steady sales and falling share price may point to market concerns beyond revenue generation, possibly linked to profitability, growth expectations, or external economic factors affecting investor sentiment.
