On this page we presented the KMX PE Ratio History information for CarMax' stock. The average KMX PE ratio history 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 20.8. Meanwhile, using the trailing twelve month (TTM) quarterly earnings result as our method of calculation the "E" value at each measurement period, the average KMX PE ratio history based on this TTM earnings result method is 20.3. Note: any PE calculations involving negative earnings were discarded as not meaningful.

Let's now compare this KMX PE ratio history result, against the recent PE: when this page was posted on 12/11/2025, the most recent closing price for KMX had been 41.65, and the most recent quarterly earnings result, annualized, was 2.56. Meanwhile, the most recent TTM earnings summed to 3.47. From these numbers, we calculate the recent KMX PE on 12/11/2025 based on annualized quarterly EPS was 16.3. Based on KMX's history, that recent PE is low relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 21.6% lower than the historical average PE across our data set for CarMax. Looking at the recent KMX PE on 12/11/2025 based on TTM EPS, we calculate the ratio at 12.0. Based on KMX's history, that recent PE is low relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 40.9% lower than the average PE across our CarMax data set with TTM EPS used in the calculation at each period.

Another interesting KMX PE ratio history calculation we look at is to take the median earnings per share of the last four quarters for KMX, and then annualize the resulting value... with that annualized number then being used in the PE calculation. To walk through this math for KMX, we start with the past four EPS numbers and we first sort them from lowest to highest: 0.64, 0.64, 0.81, and 1.38. We then toss out the highest and lowest result, and then take the average of those two middle numbers — 0.64 and 0.81 — which gives us the median of 0.73. Basically the way to think about this 0.73 number is this: for the trailing four earnings reports, 0.73 marks the "middle ground" number where KMX has reported a value higher than 0.73 half the time, and has reported a value lower than 0.73 half the time. Annualizing that median value then gets us to 2.92/share, which we use as the denominator in our next PE calculation. With 41.65 as the numerator (as of 12/11/2025), the calculation is then 41.65 / 2.92 = 14.3 as the KMX PE ratio as of 12/11/2025, based on that annualized median value we calculated.
