consensus next-FY EPS
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $7.23 implies +122.5% EPS growth vs the reported trailing $3.25.
At today's $138.83 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-26 | $7.23 | $7.20 – $7.29 | 8 | 19.2x |
| 2027-09-26 | $8.27 | $8.14 – $8.43 | 8 | 16.8x |
| 2028-09-26 | $9.41 | $8.35 – $10.43 | 3 | 14.7x |
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.
