consensus next-FY EPS
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $6.56 implies +43.5% EPS growth vs the reported trailing $4.57.
At today's $152.18 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-30 | $6.56 | $6.51 – $6.58 | 17 | 23.2x |
| 2027-09-30 | $7.27 | $7.13 – $7.44 | 18 | 20.9x |
| 2028-09-30 | $8.06 | $7.06 – $9.09 | 10 | 18.9x |
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.
