Let's now compare this SYKE PE ratio history result, against the recent PE: when this page was posted on 8/27/2021, the most recent closing price for SYKE had been 54.00, and the most recent quarterly earnings result, annualized, was 2.92. Meanwhile, the most recent TTM earnings summed to 3.03. From these numbers, we calculate the recent SYKE PE on 8/27/2021 based on annualized quarterly EPS was 18.5. Based on SYKE's history, that recent PE is elevated relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 23.3% higher than the historical average PE across our data set for Sykes Enterprises. Looking at the recent SYKE PE on 8/27/2021 based on TTM EPS, we calculate the ratio at 17.8.

Another interesting SYKE PE ratio history calculation we look at is to take the median earnings per share of the last four quarters for SYKE, and then annualize the resulting value... with that annualized number then being used in the PE calculation. To walk through this math for SYKE, we start with the past four EPS numbers and we first sort them from lowest to highest: 0.73, 0.73, 0.76, and 0.81. We then toss out the highest and lowest result, and then take the average of those two middle numbers — 0.73 and 0.76 — which gives us the median of 0.74. Basically the way to think about this 0.74 number is this: for the trailing four earnings reports, 0.74 marks the "middle ground" number where SYKE has reported a value higher than 0.74 half the time, and has reported a value lower than 0.74 half the time. Annualizing that median value then gets us to 2.96/share, which we use as the denominator in our next PE calculation. With 54.00 as the numerator (as of 8/27/2021), the calculation is then 54.00 / 2.96 = 18.2 as the SYKE PE ratio as of 8/27/2021, based on that annualized median value we calculated.
