On this page we presented the CDP Historical PE Ratio information for COPT Defense' stock.
The average CDP historical PE based on using the annualized quarterly earnings result at each measurement period (for the "E" in the PE calculation; and the closing price on earnings date as the "P") is 9.8. Meanwhile, using the trailing twelve month (TTM) quarterly earnings result as our method of calculation the "E" value at each measurement period, the average CDP historical PE based on this TTM earnings result method is NA. Let's now compare this CDP historical PE result, against the recent PE: when this page was posted on 11/21/2023, the most recent closing price for CDP had been 23.75, and the most recent quarterly earnings result, annualized, was 2.4. Meanwhile, the most recent TTM earnings summed to NA. From these numbers, we calculate the recent CDP PE on 11/21/2023 based on annualized quarterly EPS was 9.9. Based on CDP's history, that recent PE is elevated relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 1.0% higher than the historical average PE across our data set for COPT Defense.
