Attractive Valuation Metrics
The Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio of 9.6 in 2022 is significantly lower than its 2021 P/E of 12.8, suggesting potential undervaluation. The Price-to-Sales (P/S) ratio also decreased from 1.6 in 2021 to 1.0 in 2022 and 2023, indicating improved sales efficiency relative to market capitalization.
