consensus EPS · fiscal year ending 2026-09-30
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $5.38 implies +3.1% EPS growth vs the reported trailing $5.22.
At the dated quote price of $176.89, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-30 | $5.38 | $5.29 – $5.49 | 4 | 32.9x |
| 2027-09-30 | $6.88 | $6.14 – $7.35 | 4 | 25.7x |
| 2028-09-30 | $8.25 | $7.57 – $9.08 | 4 | 21.4x |
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.
