  • Sales rise 14% to $1.18B as Flight Support drives strong momentum.

  • Flight Support margin jumps to 24.5% on mix, scale, and efficiency.

Heico (HEI) stock moved lower even as the company posted record first-quarter profit and strong sales expansion. The share price closed at $344.72 and fell to $324.59 in pre-market trading. The decline followed results that showed firm operational gains across both core business segments.

HEICO Corporation, HEI

Record Quarter Highlights Solid Revenue Growth

Heico reported higher net income for the first quarter as profit reached $190.2 million. The company also lifted diluted earnings to $1.35 per share, which marked a yearly increase.  Net sales climbed 14% to $1.18 billion and strengthened overall revenue momentum.

Operating income improved and reached $259.9 million while margin gains held steady across the company. EBITDA advanced 14% to $312 million and reflected improved scale. Operating cash flow eased to $178.6 million due to compensation distributions.

Total debt metrics rose after a recent acquisition expanded obligations. Net debt to EBITDA increased to 1.79x while total debt to net income moved higher. Even so, management continued to signal confidence in fiscal 2026 performance.

Flight Support Group Delivers Strong Organic Gains

The Flight Support Group produced firm revenue growth as net sales reached $820 million. Organic demand rose 12% and lifted contributions from all major product categories. Growth from prior acquisitions added further volume and supported segment expansion.

Operating income increased 21% and reached $200.7 million for the quarter. Margin gains reflected lower SG&A ratios and a favorable product mix. Higher repair and overhaul volumes also supported stronger profitability.

The segment’s operating margin improved to 24.5% and exceeded last year’s level. Increased efficiency contributed to the rise and reflected stronger customer demand. The group maintained momentum and continued to support consolidated performance.

Electronic Technologies Group Shows Mixed Profit Signals

The Electronic Technologies Group increased net sales to $370.7 million due to solid demand for aerospace and electronics products. Organic growth reached 6% and offset weakness in space-related orders. Acquisitions also added new revenue streams and supported higher activity.

Operating income declined to $73.2 million because margins faced pressure from a less favorable product mix. Lower results from space products reduced gross margin. However, higher aerospace demand softened the overall decline.

The segment’s operating margin settled at 19.8% and reflected broader shifts in product composition. Margin pressure remained evident as defense and space orders changed. Even so, segment revenue trends stayed stable and supported long-term expectations.
