consensus next-FY EPS
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $5.50 implies +6.4% EPS growth vs the reported trailing $5.17.
At today's $110.55 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027-05-31 | $6.01 | $5.90 – $6.13 | 7 | 18.4x |
| 2028-05-31 | $6.74 | $6.50 – $6.96 | 6 | 16.4x |
| 2029-05-31 | $7.42 | $7.27 – $7.56 | 2 | 14.9x |
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.
