HEICO (HEI) Stock Forecast & Price Target

Heico demonstrated strong performance in its fiscal 3Q25 results, with total sales increasing by 16% year-over-year to $1,147.6 million, exceeding consensus estimates by 2.9%. The Flight Support Group (FSG) segment reported an impressive 18% year-over-year sales growth, reaching $802.7 million, driven primarily by robust demand in the aerospace aftermarket sector and contributing factors from upcoming acquisitions. Additionally, the Electronic Technologies Group (ETG) experienced a 10% year-over-year sales increase to $355.9 million, supported by growth in key areas such as electronics, defense, and space products, further solidifying the company's positive outlook in the aerospace and defense markets.

Heico's electronic technologies group (ETG) segment reported operating margins of 22.8%, reflecting an 80 basis points year-over-year decline, attributed to increased stock-based compensation. While earnings per share (EPS) of $1.26 surpassed expectations, the company’s performance indicators suggest underlying pressures in profitability, particularly from the ETG segment's margin contraction. Additionally, the persistent acquisition strategy aimed at enhancing cash flow and growth may not sufficiently mitigate the challenges posed by high operational costs and market fluctuations, casting a shadow on future financial stability.
