Operating both domestically and internationally, the company’s Flight Support Group and Electronic Technologies Group serve commercial, regional, and general aviation markets, positioning Heico as a critical supplier in the aerospace and defense sector. In Q4 2024, Heico reported EPS of $1.20 versus an estimate of $0.95, and revenue of $1.03 billion, indicating a solid earnings beat and a modest revenue increase from prior periods. The company’s Q1 2026 EPS of $1.35 slightly exceeded the $1.29 estimate, while revenue of $1.18 billion fell marginally below the $1.18 billion estimate, suggesting a slight revenue slowdown but continued earnings strength. In Q3 2026, EPS rose to $1.67 against an estimate of $1.51, and revenue reached $1.41 billion versus an estimate of $1.36 billion, reflecting a rebound in top‑line growth and a continued earnings beat pattern.

Historically, the company has maintained a YoY revenue growth trajectory of roughly 5–7% in recent years, with EPS growth outpacing revenue growth, indicating effective cost management and margin expansion. Recent news highlights Heico’s strategic acquisitions of CalRamic Technologies and Cook Defense Systems, which are expected to broaden its aftermarket and defense footprint; Deutsche Bank’s recent upgrade to a $421 price target underscores confidence in the company’s earnings trajectory and competitive positioning.

Behaviour On Record

What HEI's own history says about today's numbers

vs 200-day average

Up days (1y)
49%

Heico Corporation is currently running 23.2% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against HEI's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 43rd percentile — close to its own typical level, against a typical reading of 24.7%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

HEI is trading -20.8% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -17.9%, and the deepest was -52.5% in 2020. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.

Price sits -7.8% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 8th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year HEI closed higher on 49% of sessions, and it is currently 2 sessions into a falling streak.

On October specifically: over 13 years of records, HEI finished the month higher 7 of 13 times, with a median return of +0.1% and an average of +1.5%. Its strongest month historically has been May at +7.5% on average, its weakest March at -3.5%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: HEI has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 117 of 3,267 sessions (3.6% of the time), with the largest gaps running +10.0% and -5.9%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 3,268 daily closes between 2013-10-15 and 2026-10-13, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against HEI's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
