consensus EPS · fiscal year ending 2027-08-30
At the dated quote price of $9.97, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027-08-30 | $1.69 | $1.55 – $1.79 | 4 | 5.9x |
| 2028-08-30 | $1.79 | $1.70 – $1.91 | 1 | 5.6x |
| 2029-08-30 | $1.93 | $1.83 – $2.06 | 1 | 5.2x |
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.
