Forward P/E

consensus EPS · fiscal year ending 2027-01-31
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $2.07 implies -10.8% EPS decline vs the reported trailing $2.32.
At the dated quote price of $17.16, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027-01-31 | $2.07 | $1.34 – $2.45 | 8 | 8.3x |
| 2028-01-31 | $1.60 | $1.34 – $1.85 | 8 | 10.7x |
| 2029-01-31 | $1.71 | $1.44 – $1.99 | 2 | 10.0x |
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.
