Forward Earnings Per Share

Fwd EPS

Analysts' consensus earnings per share for the next year

Definition

Forward EPS is the average earnings-per-share estimate from covering analysts for a coming fiscal year. It is the denominator behind Forward P/E. BullBrief reads this from FMP analyst estimates when they are available on the Starter plan.

Consensus estimated earnings ÷ shares outstanding (as published by analysts)

Example

If analysts expect Apple to earn $8.83 per share in FY2026, Forward EPS is $8.83. At a $230 share price, Forward P/E would be about 26x.
