FSLY Historical PE Ratio Notes
— Fastly, Inc. (NYSE: FSLY) is a technology company specializing in edge cloud computing and content delivery network (CDN) services. Its platform enables websites & online applications to deliver data, video, and digital content quickly, reliably, and securely to users around the world. Fastly's customers include high-profile media, ecommerce, and enterprise organizations that depend on low latency and high performance. For an investor examining Fastly's historical price, earnings, and PE ratio data, it's important to note that Fastly has operated in a highly competitive, fast-changing sector, and has historically prioritized growth over profitability. As a result, the company's earnings have often been negative or volatile, which in turn can cause the historical PE ratio to be extremely high, erratic, or even undefined (when earnings per share are negative). When reviewing historical FSLY PE ratios, keep in mind that investor sentiment has sometimes been based more on growth expectations and market potential rather than traditional profitability metrics. Therefore, sudden spikes or drops in the PE ratio might reflect shifts in market optimism, changing competitive dynamics, or adjustments to the company's growth strategy.
How should the FSLY historical PE ratio be determined?
Realizing that PE stands for Price to Earnings ratio, we need two values to compute it: stock price and earnings per share. The stock price at any given date is a known historical value, but what about the earnings number to use?
✔️Accepted answer:
There are a number of different approaches when it comes to calculating a historical PE ratio for a company like Fastly. We like to take our measurements on each of the past quarterly earnings reports. That only leaves the question of whether the earnings number at that quarterly report should be used on an annualized basis, or some other method. We approach this question using three different methods, on this FSLY Historical PE Ratio page.
What is the average historical PE for FSLY based on annualized quarterly earnings?
As we look back through earnings history, what is the resulting PE calculation if at each measurement period we use that quarter's earnings result annualized?

The FSLY historical PE ratio using the annualized quarterly earnings method works out to 52.7.
What is the average historical PE for FSLY based on trailing twelve month earnings?
As we look back through earnings history, what is the resulting PE calculation if at each measurement period we use the trailing twelve months combined earnings result in the calculation?
✔️Accepted answer:
The FSLY historical PE ratio using the TTM earnings method works out to 96.8.
What is the average historical PE for FSLY based on median TTM earnings?
As we look back through earnings history, what is the resulting PE calculation if at each measurement period we use the median earnings over the trailing twelve months and annualize that median result in the calculation?
✔️Accepted answer:
The FSLY historical PE ratio using the annualized median TTM earnings method works out to 0.4.
On this page we presented the
Fastly Historical PE Ratio information for Fastly' stock.
The average FSLY 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 52.7. Meanwhile, using the trailing twelve month (TTM) quarterly earnings result as our method of calculation the "E" value at each measurement period, the average FSLY historical PE based on this TTM earnings result method is 96.8. Note: any PE calculations resulting in a value exceeding 500 were discarded as not meaningful. Note: any PE calculations involving negative earnings were discarded as not meaningful.
Let's now compare this FSLY historical PE result, against the recent PE: when this page was posted on 5/15/2026, the most recent closing price for FSLY had been 17.00, and the most recent quarterly earnings result, annualized, was 0.52. Meanwhile, the most recent TTM earnings summed to 0.29. From these numbers, we calculate the recent FSLY PE on 5/15/2026 based on annualized quarterly EPS was 32.7. Based on FSLY's history, that recent PE is low relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 38.0% lower than the historical average PE across our data set for Fastly. Looking at the recent FSLY PE on 5/15/2026 based on TTM EPS, we calculate the ratio at 58.6. Based on FSLY's history, that recent PE is low relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 39.5% lower than the average PE across our Fastly data set with TTM EPS used in the calculation at each period.
Another interesting FSLY historical PE Ratio calculation we look at is to take the
median earnings per share of the last four quarters for FSLY, and then annualize the resulting value... with that annualized number then being used in the PE calculation. To walk through this math for FSLY, we start with the past four EPS numbers and we first sort them from lowest to highest: -0.03, 0.07, 0.12, and 0.13. We then toss out the highest and lowest result, and then take the average of those two middle numbers — 0.07 and 0.12 — which gives us the median of 0.10. Basically the way to think about this 0.10 number is this: for the trailing four earnings reports, 0.10 marks the "middle ground" number where FSLY has reported a value
higher than 0.10 half the time, and has reported a value
lower than 0.10 half the time. Annualizing that median value then gets us to 0.4/share, which we use as the denominator in our next PE calculation. With 17.00 as the numerator (as of 5/15/2026), the calculation is then 17.00 / 0.4 =
42.5 as the FSLY PE ratio as of 5/15/2026, based on that annualized median value we calculated.
