reported TTM EPS
Forward P/E
27.6
consensus EPS · fiscal year ending 2027-07-31
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $2.04 implies +45.7% EPS growth vs the reported trailing $1.40.
At the dated quote price of $56.33, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027-07-31 | $2.04 | $1.38 – $2.39 | 4 | 27.6x |
| 2028-07-31 | $2.25 | $2.09 – $2.39 | 5 | 25.1x |
| 2029-07-31 | $2.57 | $2.34 – $2.80 | 2 | 21.9x |
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.
