Yes indeed earnings can be lower due to reinvestment. That's what the PE ratio looks at - the price taking this into consideration vs actual earnings per share. The EPS is 3.1, the price is now 395ish, which is a PE of 127.4 (not 40.9). 127.4 is RIDICULOUSLY high, I mean RIDICULOUSLY. There is literally nothing cheap about this share and given time investors will be hurting here. Let's reconvene in 6 months and see who was right.
