CleaRank Financial AI
HEICO Corporation (HEI) is trading at $312.68, below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages ($324.00 and $320.99), indicating a short-term bearish technical trend.
The company operates in the Aerospace & Defense sector, a space characterized by significant government contracts and technological innovation. Despite the current technical setup, HEICO has demonstrated a history of consistent earnings beats, with the most recent available quarter showing a 23.88% EPS surprise and an 11.53% stock price increase. Analyst sentiment remains largely positive, with a median price target of $402.5, implying a 28.7% upside from the current price. The company's fundamentals are solid, with a profit margin of 16.38% and a return on equity of 17.73%, which compares favorably to sector averages. However, recent insider selling totaling $40.8 million warrants close observation as a potential risk factor.

Long-term scenarios
Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in HEI, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 10-year Monte Carlo simulation projects that a $10,000 investment in HEI today could grow to about $28,053 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $97,499 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $8,072. The simulation models price only; at today's 0.08% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
HEI Stock Price Prediction: 2030
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $472 for HEI by 2030 in the base case, from $313 today (1.5x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $215. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on HEI's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
