Trailing P/E
3.1
reported TTM EPS
Forward P/E
2.4
consensus EPS · fiscal year ending 2026-12-31
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $9.63 implies +25.7% EPS growth vs the reported trailing $7.66.
At the dated quote price of $23.53, 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 | $9.63 | $9.23 – $10.14 | 1 | 2.4x |
| 2027-12-31 | $12.97 | $12.43 – $13.66 | 1 | 1.8x |
| 2028-12-31 | $18.35 | $17.59 – $19.33 | 1 | 1.3x |
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.
