leadingFY2PE: Calculates Leading Price to Earning Multiple based on the mean of the following fiscal year (FY2 = Fiscal Year 2) forecasts.

Description

Applying the fiscal-year concept, Leading PE can be computed in two ways: first, based on the mean of the current fiscal year (FY1 = Fiscal Year 1) forecasts, for which analysts may have actual EPS in hand for some quarters; second, based on the following fiscal year (FY2 = Fiscal Year 2) forecasts, which must be based entirely on forecasts by analysts (Jerald E. Pinto, 2020).
