Contributors at both ends of the window: FY26 2 and 1. A change in the average can come from a new contributor as much as from a changed mind, so both counts stay in view.
Measured between two of our own nightly snapshots of one fiscal period, so a new fiscal year entering the view is never read as a revision. Never backfilled. A window still filling says how many days it holds; a blank one means our record is not that long yet.
If the Street is right, what does that imply for the share price?
At 10.1 times earnings, its average over the last five fiscal years, the FY26 consensus of $4.35 works out to $44 a share.
One analyst covers this year, so the estimate is a single number and there is no low to high band to draw around the answer.
Each point on the line is a multiple, and the flag is the price it implies for FY26. Past multiples are context, not a guide to future ones.
This is multiplication, not a forecast. It assumes the market pays the multiple you chose and that the consensus is right. Both are often wrong.
What you pay for the growth
You are paying 35.6 times the FY25 consensus for earnings the one analyst covering it expects to grow about 23% a year to FY27. That is 1.6 times the growth rate.Show the multiple against its own recordHide the multiple record
How much do analysts disagree?
One analyst publishes on each year, so there is no range to draw: the low, the high and the average are one number, and a single mark stands for each year.
The dashed line is FY24 filed $11.62, on the GAAP basis.
A wide spread is disagreement, not risk; a narrow one is agreement, not accuracy. Later years are always wider because fewer people forecast them. Bars in amber rest on fewer than 15 analysts. The tick on each bar is the average.
Is next quarter a high bar or an easy one?
Analysts expect Greif to earn $1.17 a share in the September quarter, the one estimate published. We hold no expected date for the next report. Last quarter, which ended in June, Greif earned $3.40 a share. Analysts had expected $1.11, so it came in 206.8% higher.
For the December quarter, analysts expect $0.76 a share.
Does Greif usually beat or miss?
So far we have checked 1 quarter: the one that ended in June 2026, when Greif earned $3.40 a share against the $1.11 analysts expected, 206.8% higher. We add a quarter to this record each time Greif reports.
We started recording estimates on Jul 10, 2026, so quarters that reported before that date cannot be checked.
+2.8%
Checked against the company's reported figure (GAAP) and the average estimate we recorded the night before its results release. Where analysts' number is on an adjusted basis, we leave the comparison out rather than force it. We started recording estimates for Greif on Jul 10, 2026, so earlier quarters cannot be checked, and we never fill them in after the fact.
Where the growth comes from
The one analyst covering it expects sales to grow −3.7% in FY26 and EPS 35.1%. Little of it is sales: the net margin moves from 2.8% to 3.9%, and the implied share count from about 38.8M to 38.8M, so these numbers assume the count stands still.Show the decomposition and the margin ladderHide the decomposition

Average estimate with low to high beneath. Amber counts mark thin coverage and thin rows carry an amber rule. Shares = consensus net income ÷ consensus EPS, a direction rather than a decimal. The filed row's last column is today's price over that year's filed EPS, the one trailing multiple in that column. a This step crosses the seam: last year is a filed GAAP actual and this year is a consensus estimate, so the two are not prepared on one basis. b More than a third of the analyst panel changed between these two years, so the difference of the two averages measures the panel rather than the forecast.
