consensus next-FY EPS
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $11.37 implies +8.8% EPS growth vs the reported trailing $10.45.
At today's $233.26 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027-06-30 | $12.62 | $12.17 – $13.06 | 10 | 18.5x |
| 2028-06-30 | $13.95 | $13.12 – $15.31 | 7 | 16.7x |
| 2029-06-30 | $15.30 | $14.93 – $15.61 | 2 | 15.2x |
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.
