consensus next-FY EPS
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $17.00 implies -5.3% EPS decline vs the reported trailing $17.95.
At today's $493.41 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027-06-30 | $19.72 | $19.06 – $20.54 | 30 | 25.0x |
| 2028-06-30 | $23.48 | $22.08 – $24.63 | 29 | 21.0x |
| 2029-06-30 | $28.60 | $26.55 – $32.29 | 14 | 17.3x |
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.
