Trailing P/E
30.6
reported TTM EPS
Forward P/E
28.8
consensus next-FY EPS
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $9.79 implies +6.2% EPS growth vs the reported trailing $9.22.
At today's $281.80 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.
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.

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.
