consensus EPS · fiscal year ending 2027-05-31
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $3.02 implies +45.2% EPS growth vs the reported trailing $2.08.
At the dated quote price of $46.57, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027-05-31 | $3.02 | $2.92 – $3.09 | 8 | 15.4x |
| 2028-05-31 | $3.37 | $2.41 – $3.62 | 8 | 13.8x |
| 2029-05-31 | $3.68 | $3.39 – $4.08 | 5 | 12.7x |
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.
