Forward P/E
20.2
consensus EPS · fiscal year ending 2027-01-03
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $8.47 implies +12.8% EPS growth vs the reported trailing $7.51.
At the dated quote price of $171.43, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027-01-03 | $8.47 | $8.25 – $8.81 | 3 | 20.2x |
| 2028-01-03 | $9.56 | $9.06 – $10.30 | 3 | 17.9x |
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.
