consensus next-FY EPS
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $6.52 implies -21.2% EPS decline vs the reported trailing $8.27.
At today's $239.04 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027-01-31 | $8.47 | $8.14 – $8.74 | 14 | 28.2x |
| 2028-01-31 | $9.02 | $8.57 – $9.44 | 14 | 26.5x |
| 2029-01-31 | $9.86 | $8.90 – $11.06 | 8 | 24.2x |
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.
