Trailing P/E

reported TTM EPS
Forward P/E
29.3
consensus next-FY EPS
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $18.26 implies -55.1% EPS decline vs the reported trailing $40.70.
At today's $534.92 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-12-31 | $18.26 | $17.04 – $21.17 | 8 | 29.3x |
| 2027-12-31 | $21.66 | $20.31 – $25.90 | 12 | 24.7x |
| 2028-12-31 | $25.44 | $23.71 – $26.96 | 5 | 21.0x |
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.
