consensus EPS · fiscal year ending 2027-07-31
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $1.64 implies +5.8% EPS growth vs the reported trailing $1.55.
At the dated quote price of $29.95, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027-07-31 | $1.64 | $1.57 – $1.67 | 7 | 18.3x |
| 2028-07-31 | $1.78 | $1.76 – $1.80 | 5 | 16.8x |
| 2029-07-31 | $1.92 | $1.91 – $1.93 | 3 | 15.6x |
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.
