consensus EPS · fiscal year ending 2026-12-30
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $4.49 implies +21.7% EPS growth vs the reported trailing $3.69.
At the dated quote price of $104.49, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-12-30 | $4.49 | $4.32 – $5.07 | 11 | 23.3x |
| 2027-12-30 | $4.97 | $4.34 – $5.83 | 12 | 21.0x |
| 2028-12-30 | $5.63 | $5.51 – $5.85 | 1 | 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.
