What the Analysts think about Hexcel
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Hexcel stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Hexcel’s Defense, Space & Other segment posted strong growth in Q2 2025, with sales up 9.5% year-over-year to $196.8 million, driven by military helicopter and international fighter jet programs (Business Wire).
Hexcel returned $64 million to shareholders in Q2 2025 through share buybacks and dividends, following $50.4 million in repurchases in Q1. This demonstrates robust free cash flow and disciplined capital allocation (Business Wire).
Management emphasizes Hexcel’s strong intellectual property, scale, and enduring demand for lightweight composites, positioning the company for long-term cyclical and structural growth despite short-term aerospace supply disruptions (Business Wire).
Hexcel’s Commercial Aerospace sales, which represent nearly 60% of total revenue, declined 8.6% year-over-year to $293.1 million in Q2 2025. This drop was driven by ongoing production rate cuts across the Airbus A350, A320neo, Boeing 787 and 737 MAX programs (Business Wire).
In Q1 2025, Hexcel missed consensus adjusted EPS estimates, reporting $0.37 versus the expected $0.43, and lowered its full-year outlook: sales guidance was cut to $1.88–$1.95 billion (down from $1.95–$2.05 billion), and adjusted EPS guidance was reduced to $1.85–$2.05 (from $2.05–$2.25) (Reuters).
Hexcel’s margins have come under pressure: gross margin fell to 22.6% in the first half of 2025 from 25.2% in the prior-year period, as lower volumes and inventory reduction measures weighed on profitability (Business Wire).
