HEICO (HEI) Stock Forecast and Price Target (2026)

Last updated October 2026

Short answer

20 analysts covering HEICO (HEI) carry an average price target of $391.70 as of October 2026, +26.4% against the $309.87 price at the time of the pull. The published targets run from $294.00 to $491.00, a spread of 50% of the average, so the disagreement is moderate. The rating split is 14 buy, 10 hold, 0 sell. A price target is what an analyst published on a date, not a prediction, and sell-side ratings skew positive across the whole market. Walnut is not an investment adviser.

HEI analyst data as of October 2026, sourced from Yahoo Finance and may be delayed. A price target is what an analyst published on a date, not a forecast Walnut endorses, and targets are typically set on a 12-month view. Verify current figures before deciding.

The average target of $391.70 sits above the $309.87 price, +26.4%. The median is $402.50, and where the two differ the median is the steadier read, because one unusually high or low target cannot drag it.

What the HEI target range actually tells you

The published targets span $294.00 to $491.00. That gap is 50% of the average target, which counts as moderate disagreement. That is a fairly typical spread: enough agreement that the average means something, enough disagreement that it should not be treated as precise.

The useful move is to read the high target as one bull scenario and the low target as one bear scenario, then ask which set of assumptions you find more plausible. Both cases are worked through on the HEI is it a buy page.

The most recent published rating actions on HEI within the last six months, from Yahoo Finance. Each row is dated because a target only means something alongside the date it was set. Walnut is not an investment adviser and does not endorse any of these views.

In the last six months there have been 8 raises and 3 cuts among these actions. The direction of revisions is often more telling than the level, because it shows which way informed opinion is moving.

How analysts rate HEI

Of the analysts with a published rating, 14 say buy, 10 say hold, and 0 say sell, so 58% carry a buy. That buy share has fallen over the last three months, so sentiment is drifting more negative.

Read the distribution rather than the label. Sell ratings are rare across the entire market for structural reasons, so a stock with no sell ratings is unremarkable, while even a handful of them is worth understanding.

Why a HEI price target is not a prediction

  • It is a 12-month model output. An analyst picks assumptions for revenue, margin, and a multiple, and the target falls out of the arithmetic. Change one assumption and the target moves a lot.
  • The distribution is skewed. Sell-side coverage carries far more buy ratings than sell ratings across the whole market, so the average is not a balanced vote.
  • Targets follow price as often as they lead it. Revisions frequently arrive after a move, not before, which is why a rising target is weak evidence on its own.
  • Nobody is scored on it. There is no cost to a target that never gets close, so treat accuracy as unverified unless you check the firm's record yourself.

Consensus estimates for HEI published by sell-side analysts, as of October 2026, from Yahoo Finance. Each figure is the average of the analysts counted, with the lowest and highest estimate beneath it; growth compares with the same period a year earlier and is left blank where either figure is a loss. Estimates change constantly. Walnut is not an investment adviser.

Estimates are the most widely published forecast there is: many more analysts model a company's earnings than publish a price target on it. They are also revised constantly, and the direction of those revisions into a report is often more informative than the level. HEICO next reports on August 25, 2026, which is when these figures get tested against actual results.

Is there a 2030 forecast for HEI?

Not a published one. Analyst price targets run to about twelve months, occasionally two years, and the firms covering HEI do not put out a 2030 number. Anything presenting one is extrapolating a growth rate rather than reporting research, and a figure produced that way tells you about the assumption chosen, not about the company.

The furthest-out consensus that exists is for the fiscal year ending Oct 2027: analysts expect earnings of $7.23 per share, +14% on the fiscal year ending Oct 2026 estimate of $6.36. Beyond that, nobody publishes estimates, so any later number is an extrapolation.

On the figures we hold as of October 2026, HEI trades at about 51.5 times trailing earnings and 42.9 times forward earnings. A forward multiple below the trailing one means the market expects earnings to grow, and the size of that gap is roughly how much growth is already in the price.

That is the more useful frame for a ten-year question. A share price is the market’s estimate of future cash flows discounted to today, so the multiple is already a statement about growth. The long-horizon question is whether HEICO can deliver what is priced in, and what would have to change for that to break. Both are answerable from the drivers and risks below. A number for 2030 is not.

What could move HEI from here

In short: the drivers cited most often are Aftermarket parts moat, Acquisition-driven growth, Electronic Technologies diversification. The risk cited most often against it is hEICO trades at a premium valuation (about 52x trailing and 43x forward earnings as of October 2026) that embeds continued high growth, so any slowdown in commercial air traffic, a deep airline downturn, or a pause in its acquisition pipeline could compress the multiple.

Both sides are worked through properly, with the high and low targets used as the bull and bear anchors, on the HEI is it a buy page. This page deliberately stops at the numbers.

FAQ

What is the price target for HEICO (HEI)?

+

The average analyst price target for HEI is $391.70 as of October 2026, across 20 analysts. That is +26.4% against the $309.87 price at the time of the data pull, so the consensus sits above where the stock trades. The median target, which is less distorted by one extreme view, is $402.50. Targets move constantly; verify the current figure before relying on it.

How high could HEI go?

+

The highest published target is $491.00, which is +58.5% against the $309.87 price. That is one analyst's most optimistic case, not a ceiling and not a forecast. The lowest is $294.00. The gap between them is the honest answer to this question: analysts who all follow HEICO closely disagree by 50% of the average target, so treat any single number as one scenario.

How many analysts cover HEI?

+

20 analysts publish estimates on HEI as of October 2026. Of those with a published rating, 14 say buy, 10 hold, and 0 sell, so 58% carry a buy rating. More coverage usually means the consensus is better informed, though it also means the obvious points are already in the price.

Are analyst price targets for HEI accurate?

+

Treat them as informed opinion, not measurement. Two things are worth knowing. Sell-side ratings skew positive across the market, and HEI is no exception at 58% buy ratings, so the distribution is not a balanced vote. And targets tend to follow the share price at least as often as they lead it, getting raised after a stock has already run. They are most useful as a read on what the informed consensus expects, and least useful as a prediction of where the price lands.

Has the HEI price target been raised or cut recently?

+

In the last six months there have been 8 raises and 3 cuts among the published actions on HEI. The most recent was TD Cowen, which lowered its target to $330.00 from $350.00 on October 9, 2026. The direction of revisions often tells you more than the level, because it shows which way the informed view is moving.

Is analyst sentiment on HEI improving?

+

Over the last three months the share of analysts rating HEI a buy has been falling. That is a shift in opinion, not in the business, and it often lags the news that caused it. It is worth watching alongside the target revisions rather than on its own.

What are analysts' earnings estimates for HEICO (HEI)?

+

For the fiscal year ending Oct 2026, the 24 analysts publishing estimates on HEI expect earnings of $6.36 per share (+30% on the year before) and revenue of $5.4 billion (+21%). For the fiscal year ending Oct 2027, the consensus is $7.23 per share, +14% on the year before. These are consensus estimates as of October 2026, the average of what the covering analysts publish, and they are revised constantly, especially around each earnings report. They describe expectations, not results.

When does HEI report earnings next?

+

HEICO's next earnings report is scheduled for August 25, 2026. The report is when the estimates on this page get tested against actual results, which is why targets and estimates tend to move most in the days after it.

What is the HEI stock price prediction for 2030?

+

There is no published one. Analyst targets run to about twelve months and no firm covering HEI publishes a 2030 figure, so any site showing one has extrapolated a growth rate rather than reported research. The answerable version of the question is what the current price already assumes about HEICO's earnings, which the forward multiple on this page sets out, and what would have to change for that to break.

Will HEI go up in 2026?

+

Nobody knows, including the analysts publishing targets. What the numbers on this page tell you is where informed opinion currently sits and how much it disagrees with itself, which is genuinely useful and completely different from a prediction. The risk most often cited against HEICO: HEICO trades at a premium valuation (about 52x trailing and 43x forward earnings as of October 2026) that embeds continued high growth, so any slowdown in commercial air traffic, a deep airline downturn, or a pause in its acquisition pipeline could compress the multiple.
