consensus next-FY EPS
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $37.91 implies +3.2% EPS growth vs the reported trailing $36.75.
At today's $1876.33 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-12-31 | $37.91 | $35.10 – $40.76 | 14 | 49.5x |
| 2027-12-31 | $54.62 | $47.31 – $60.20 | 15 | 34.4x |
| 2028-12-31 | $77.42 | $64.57 – $93.17 | 17 | 24.2x |
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.
