consensus next-FY EPS
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $12.64 implies +1.7% EPS growth vs the reported trailing $12.43.
At today's $258.63 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 | $12.64 | $11.98 – $13.05 | 39 | 20.5x |
| 2027-12-31 | $10.61 | $8.77 – $11.85 | 41 | 24.4x |
| 2028-12-31 | $13.89 | $10.19 – $23.53 | 29 | 18.6x |
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.
