Analysts are forecasting more upside for HEI too.

Heico witnesses increased orders for its aftermarket replacement parts and repair and overhaul parts services, backed by rising air travel. With its Flight Support Group unit being a supplier of military aircraft parts, solid U.S. defense funding should bolster order flows for its defense products. Our model predicts solid revenue growth for the company during the 2025-2027 period. The company boasts a solid solvency position in the short term. The shares of the company have outperformed the industry in the year-to-date period. However, a supply shortage of aircraft components might adversely impact the company’s future performance. Heico is exposed to stringent governmental regulations and failure to comply with them might lead to a material adverse impact on its business. The stock is expensive compared to its industry.

Over the past four weeks, shares have rallied 7.81%, and there have been 7 higher earnings estimate revisions in the past two months for fiscal 2025 compared to none lower. The consensus estimate has moved up as well.
