consensus next-FY EPS
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $2.55 implies +48.3% EPS growth vs the reported trailing $1.72.
At today's $29.01 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027-04-03 | $2.91 | $2.81 – $2.96 | 6 | 10.0x |
| 2028-04-03 | $3.30 | $3.16 – $3.44 | 6 | 8.8x |
| 2029-04-03 | $3.69 | $3.32 – $4.05 | 2 | 7.9x |
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.
