consensus next-FY EPS
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $17.33 implies +38.1% EPS growth vs the reported trailing $12.55.
At today's $389.34 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 | $17.33 | $17.27 – $17.41 | 7 | 22.5x |
| 2027-09-30 | $18.03 | $17.36 – $18.47 | 7 | 21.6x |
| 2028-09-30 | $20.13 | $17.41 – $22.85 | 2 | 19.3x |
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.
