Annual diluted EPS

GAAP diluted EPS by fiscal year — use as context for growth assumptions above, not a forecast. Across 14 fiscal years, diluted EPS went from about $2.94 in 2012 to about $2.38 in 2025.

Scale: -0.64 to 6.32 EPS; horizontal line at 0. Fiscal years with no row in the database are omitted.

Diluted EPS year-over-year change

Percent change vs the previous fiscal year. If a fiscal year is missing, the comparison is to the prior available year. Year-over-year EPS change in this window ranged from a high of +59.6% to a low of -149.6%.

Your EPS growth vs next-year analyst consensus

Same basis for every column: one-step implied EPS growth (next-year average estimate vs TTM). Consensus uses 8 EPS estimates. Δ (pts) is your growth minus consensus in percentage points, not "percent of consensus."

About the J price target calculator

The J price target calculator projects a future share price by compounding trailing twelve-month earnings per share at an assumed growth rate and applying an exit P/E multiple at the end of the horizon. The stock currently trades at about $125.84, a P/E of roughly 61.9× on TTM EPS of $3.25.

8 analysts cover J for the next fiscal year, with EPS estimates ranging from $7.21 to $7.30 and a consensus average of $7.24. Versus the latest TTM EPS of about $3.25, that consensus implies roughly 122.8% growth next year. That sits a notable shift from the trailing 5-year EPS history of a 3.7% decline per year — one useful sanity check on whether consensus is anchored to history or expecting a regime change.
