Trailing P/E

reported TTM EPS
Forward P/E
19.4
consensus next-FY EPS
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $1.58 implies -1.9% EPS decline vs the reported trailing $1.61.
At today's $29.20 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.
| Fiscal year end | Consensus EPS | Estimate range | Analysts | Implied P/E |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-07-31 | $1.58 | $1.57 – $1.60 | 9 | 18.4x |
| 2027-07-31 | $1.68 | $1.57 – $1.72 | 9 | 17.4x |
| 2028-07-31 | $1.85 | $1.79 – $1.91 | 4 | 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.
