Trailing vs Forward

The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $5.66 implies +34.8% EPS growth vs the reported trailing $4.20.

At today's $113.42 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.

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.
