consensus next-FY EPS
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $8.31 implies +21.5% EPS growth vs the reported trailing $6.84.
At today's $239.55 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-12-31 | $8.31 | $8.18 – $8.44 | 14 | 28.8x |
| 2027-12-31 | $9.11 | $8.84 – $9.81 | 11 | 26.3x |
| 2028-12-31 | $9.91 | $9.50 – $10.28 | 4 | 24.2x |
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.
