On this page we presented the SRCL Historical PE Ratio information for Stericycle' stock. The average SRCL 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 25.0. Meanwhile, using the trailing twelve month (TTM) quarterly earnings result as our method of calculation the "E" value at each measurement period, the average SRCL historical PE based on this TTM earnings result method is 24.1.

Let's now compare this SRCL historical PE result, against the recent PE: when this page was posted on 4/10/2024, the most recent closing price for SRCL had been 50.14, and the most recent quarterly earnings result, annualized, was 2.16. Meanwhile, the most recent TTM earnings summed to 1.89. From these numbers, we calculate the recent SRCL PE on 4/10/2024 based on annualized quarterly EPS was 23.2. Based on SRCL's history, that recent PE is low relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 7.2% lower than the historical average PE across our data set for Stericycle. Looking at the recent SRCL PE on 4/10/2024 based on TTM EPS, we calculate the ratio at 26.5. Based on SRCL's history, that recent PE is elevated relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 10.0% higher than the historical average PE across our Stericycle data set with TTM EPS used in the calculation at each period.

Another interesting SRCL historical PE Ratio calculation we look at is to take the median earnings per share of the last four quarters for SRCL, and then annualize the resulting value... with that annualized number then being used in the PE calculation. To walk through this math for SRCL, we start with the past four EPS numbers and we first sort them from lowest to highest: 0.43, 0.43, 0.49, and 0.54. We then toss out the highest and lowest result, and then take the average of those two middle numbers — 0.43 and 0.49 — which gives us the median of 0.46. Basically the way to think about this 0.46 number is this: for the trailing four earnings reports, 0.46 marks the "middle ground" number where SRCL has reported a value higher than 0.46 half the time, and has reported a value lower than 0.46 half the time. Annualizing that median value then gets us to 1.84/share, which we use as the denominator in our next PE calculation. With 50.14 as the numerator (as of 4/10/2024), the calculation is then 50.14 / 1.84 = 27.2 as the SRCL PE ratio as of 4/10/2024, based on that annualized median value we calculated.
