This P/E relative valuation uses the industry peer median Price-to-Earnings ratio to estimate fair value. Both trailing (last 12 months) and forward (next fiscal year analyst estimates) P/E multiples are computed independently.
The industry median trailing P/E is applied to the company's TTM net income, and the forward P/E to analyst-estimated net income. Each produces an equity value divided by shares outstanding to yield a fair price per share. The selected fair value is the average of the trailing and forward legs.
