consensus next-FY EPS
The gap between the two multiples is the consensus growth expectation: analysts' forward EPS of $20.33 implies -18.1% EPS decline vs the reported trailing $24.82.
At today's $467.89 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027-07-03 | $20.33 | $15.99 – $23.85 | 12 | 23.0x |
| 2028-07-03 | $32.54 | $20.56 – $42.49 | 10 | 14.4x |
| 2029-07-03 | $45.03 | $39.16 – $47.86 | 4 | 10.4x |
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.
