What the filing says
Hexcel reported Q2 2026 sales of $529.3M (+8.0% YoY) and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.66 (+32% YoY). Commercial Aerospace sales surged 18.3% to $346.6M, driven by A350 and 787 widebody programs at peak post-pandemic levels. The company raised FY 2026 sales guidance to $2.025B–$2.125B (from $2.0B–$2.1B) and adjusted EPS guidance to $2.30–$2.40 (from $2.10–$2.30). In Q2, Hexcel issued $400M of 4.9% senior notes due 2031 to redeem $400M of 3.95% notes due 2027, and generated $51.8M free cash flow YTD. Debt net of cash improved to $897.2M from $922.0M at year-end 2025.
Why this rating
Strong aerospace recovery with 18%+ growth meaningful for composite supplier; guidance raise signals confidence. At ~$4.5B market cap, $84M sales upside and $0.20 EPS guidance raise (~4% of midpoint) is material but not transformational.
