Forward P/E
47.1
consensus EPS · fiscal year ending 2027-05-30
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $1.59 implies -75.7% EPS decline vs the reported trailing $6.55.
At the dated quote price of $75.02, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027-05-30 | $1.59 | $1.55 – $1.63 | 2 | 47.1x |
| 2028-05-30 | $3.48 | $3.46 – $3.49 | 3 | 21.6x |
| 2029-05-30 | $4.76 | $4.38 – $5.26 | 1 | 15.8x |
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.
