consensus next-FY EPS
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $11.07 implies +1.1% EPS growth vs the reported trailing $10.95.
At today's $280.81 close, each upcoming fiscal year's consensus EPS implies a different multiple — how quickly the price is "paid down" by expected earnings if the estimates hold.
| Fiscal year end | Consensus EPS | Estimate range | Analysts | Implied P/E |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027-06-30 | $12.26 | $12.11 – $12.34 | 11 | 22.9x |
| 2028-06-30 | $13.39 | $13.15 – $13.62 | 11 | 21.0x |
| 2029-06-30 | $14.57 | $14.00 – $14.93 | 4 | 19.3x |
Source: FMP analyst consensus estimates, refreshed with the daily precompute. "n/m" = the consensus EPS is not positive, so a multiple is undefined. There is no forward P/E history chart here because charting one would require the estimates as they stood in the past, which we do not store — see the trailing P/E history for how the realized multiple has moved.
PE Ratio = Share Price / Diluted EPS (TTM)
The price-to-earnings ratio measures how much investors pay for each dollar of trailing earnings. A lower PE can indicate a cheaper valuation; a higher PE implies higher growth expectations.
