Hexcel Posts Q3 Adjusted EPS of 50 Cents
HXL sits 42% above its 52-week low of $63.21 on elevated volume (1.9× avg).
Summary
Hexcel reported third-quarter adjusted EPS of $0.50, matching the consensus estimate, on sales of $496.4 million and net income of $38.6 million. That is a step down from the $0.66 adjusted EPS it posted in Q2, when sales rose 8% year-over-year to $529 million and the company raised full-year guidance. Management reaffirmed its guidance, and it sees 2026 adjusted EPS of $2.30 to $2.40 on sales of $2.025 billion to $2.125 billion. The key question is whether the sequential decline reflects normal seasonal patterns or a demand problem in commercial aerospace.
