P/E ratio = price ÷ EPS (last 12 months) = 72.94 ÷ 3.75 = 19.45

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.

Is Sun Life Financial's P/E high compared with its own history?

Sun Life Financial's P/E of 19.5 is near the top of its 5-year range (10.1 to 22.3, median 14.7). Analysts do not expect faster growth than in recent years, so it is expensive compared with its own history.

A P/E is compared with the stock's own last five years, not with other companies. Why the market pays more or less (news, rates, the sector) is not in these figures.
