consensus next-FY EPS
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $4.28 implies +28.5% EPS growth vs the reported trailing $3.33.
At today's $111.04 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027-07-25 | $5.13 | $4.86 – $5.74 | 14 | 21.6x |
| 2028-07-25 | $5.60 | $5.07 – $6.12 | 13 | 19.8x |
| 2029-07-25 | $6.00 | $5.30 – $7.14 | 6 | 18.5x |
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.
