consensus EPS · fiscal year ending 2027-08-02
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $1.70 implies +29.8% EPS growth vs the reported trailing $1.31.
At the dated quote price of $21.39, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027-08-02 | $1.70 | $1.58 – $2.16 | 12 | 12.6x |
| 2028-08-02 | $1.82 | $1.63 – $2.04 | 12 | 11.8x |
| 2029-08-02 | $1.89 | $1.43 – $2.51 | 6 | 11.3x |
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.
