P/E ratio = price ÷ EPS (last 12 months) = 530.70 ÷ 19.20 = 27.64

Each day's closing price over the earnings per share of the last four quarters reported by that day (basic EPS, adjusted for splits). The P/E moves with the price every day and with the earnings at each report.

The forward P/E divides the price by the analysts' average EPS estimate for the next twelve months: the fiscal year in progress for the months left in it, the next one for the rest. For past days it uses each year's latest estimate, as the estimates of the time were not recorded (we keep a daily copy from November 2026), so the past line reads the price against the earnings expected by the time each year was reported.

Figures in USD. A quarter's revenue, net income and dividends are those of its last four quarters. A forecast year's P/E is today's price over the analysts' EPS estimate for that year.
