consensus EPS · fiscal year ending 2026-12-27
At the dated quote price of $24.60, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-12-27 | $2.05 | $2.03 – $2.08 | 10 | 12.0x |
| 2027-12-27 | $2.07 | $1.95 – $2.34 | 10 | 11.9x |
| 2028-12-27 | $2.13 | $1.93 – $2.58 | 4 | 11.6x |
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.
