Fwd P/E

Forward price / earnings

One of the 64 measures in Stock Scorer, under Valuation — What does the price ask for what the company earns, owns and pays out?

How it is worked out

Market capitalisation ÷ (consensus EPS for the coming fiscal year × diluted shares)

The price against what analysts expect next year rather than what was earned last year. For a company whose profit is growing quickly this is the multiple people actually pay on, and it is always lower than the trailing one when earnings are rising.

How to read it

the only valuation measure here not built from a filing. Consensus is a survey, it is optimistic more often than not, and it exists for roughly four in five companies — the rest score without it

Whether it counts

This measure is not counted by default. It can be added to Valuation on the dashboard, and it then takes its share of that dimension.
