Trailing P/E
30.1
reported TTM EPS
Forward P/E
18.1
consensus EPS · fiscal year ending 2027-09-27
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $4.32 implies +66.8% EPS growth vs the reported trailing $2.59.
At the dated quote price of $78.21, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027-09-27 | $4.32 | $4.31 – $4.33 | 2 | 18.1x |
| 2028-09-27 | $4.58 | $4.57 – $4.60 | 1 | 17.1x |
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.
