On this page we presented the KSU PE Ratio History information for Kansas City Southern' stock.
The average KSU 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 23.2. Meanwhile, using the trailing twelve month (TTM) quarterly earnings result as our method of calculation the "E" value at each measurement period, the average KSU PE ratio history based on this TTM earnings result method is 23.9.
Let's now compare this KSU PE ratio history result, against the recent PE: when this page was posted on 10/20/2021, the most recent closing price for KSU had been 301.07, and the most recent quarterly earnings result, annualized, was 8.08. Meanwhile, the most recent TTM earnings summed to 7.88. From these numbers, we calculate the recent KSU PE on 10/20/2021 based on annualized quarterly EPS was 37.3. Based on KSU's history, that recent PE is elevated relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 60.8% higher than the historical average PE across our data set for Kansas City Southern. Looking at the recent KSU PE on 10/20/2021 based on TTM EPS, we calculate the ratio at 38.2. Based on KSU's history, that recent PE is elevated relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 59.8% higher than the historical average PE across our Kansas City Southern data set with TTM EPS used in the calculation at each period.
Another interesting KSU PE ratio history calculation we look at is to take the median earnings per share of the last four quarters for KSU, and then annualize the resulting value... with that annualized number then being used in the PE calculation. To walk through this math for KSU, we start with the past four EPS numbers and we first sort them from lowest to highest: 1.89, 1.91, 2.02, and 2.06. We then toss out the highest and lowest result, and then take the average of those two middle numbers — 1.91 and 2.02 — which gives us the median of 1.97. Basically the way to think about this 1.97 number is this: for the trailing four earnings reports, 1.97 marks the "middle ground" number where KSU has reported a value higher than 1.97 half the time, and has reported a value lower than 1.97 half the time. Annualizing that median value then gets us to 7.88/share, which we use as the denominator in our next PE calculation. With 301.07 as the numerator (as of 10/20/2021), the calculation is then 301.07 / 7.88 = 38.2 as the KSU PE ratio as of 10/20/2021, based on that annualized median value we calculated.
