consensus next-FY EPS
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $11.34 implies +9.5% EPS growth vs the reported trailing $10.36.
At today's $341.51 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 | $11.34 | $10.96 – $11.55 | 14 | 30.1x |
| 2027-12-31 | $14.16 | $13.43 – $14.80 | 14 | 24.1x |
| 2028-12-31 | $16.85 | $16.26 – $17.23 | 4 | 20.3x |
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.
