Forward P/E
18.0
consensus EPS · fiscal year ending 2027-03-28
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $18.92 implies +19.3% EPS growth vs the reported trailing $15.86.
At the dated quote price of $341.43, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027-03-28 | $18.92 | $18.73 – $19.03 | 9 | 18.0x |
| 2028-03-28 | $21.00 | $20.60 – $21.37 | 10 | 16.3x |
| 2029-03-28 | $23.52 | $22.73 – $24.32 | 2 | 14.5x |
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.
