An announcement from Hexcel ( (HXL) ) is now available.
On January 28, 2026, Hexcel reported its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, showing Q4 2025 sales of $491.3 million, up 3.7% year over year, and GAAP diluted EPS of $0.60, with adjusted EPS flat at $0.52, while full-year 2025 sales were essentially flat at $1.89 billion and adjusted EPS declined to $1.76 from $2.03 in 2024. The company pointed to weaker 2025 performance driven by delayed production rate ramps and destocking at commercial aerospace customers—particularly on the Airbus A350—partially offset by strong A320neo, Boeing 787 and 737 MAX demand, and higher defense and space sales, while noting that improving order trends late in 2025, a divestment of an Austrian industrial business, margin expansion in Q4, a higher quarterly dividend, and guidance for mid‑single‑digit sales growth and substantially higher adjusted earnings and free cash flow in 2026 support a more optimistic outlook as aircraft build rates and sector spending recover.
The most recent analyst rating on (HXL) stock is a Buy with a $92.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Hexcel stock, see the HXL Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on HXL Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, HXL is a Outperform.
Hexcel’s overall stock score reflects a stable financial position with strong cash flow management and a solid balance sheet. The technical analysis indicates strong bullish momentum, which is a significant positive factor. However, the high P/E ratio suggests overvaluation, and recent revenue declines pose a risk to future profitability. The earnings call highlights both growth opportunities and near-term challenges, contributing to a balanced outlook.
