consensus EPS · fiscal year ending 2026-09-26
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $7.26 implies +154.7% EPS growth vs the reported trailing $2.85.
At the dated quote price of $144.16, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-26 | $7.26 | $7.24 – $7.28 | 7 | 19.9x |
| 2027-09-26 | $8.29 | $8.18 – $8.37 | 8 | 17.4x |
| 2028-09-26 | $9.58 | $8.67 – $10.64 | 3 | 15.0x |
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.
