Valuing Hexcel Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Hexcel Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Hexcel Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 47x. In other words, Hexcel Corporation shares trade at around 47x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Hexcel Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.8653. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Hexcel Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Hexcel Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $352 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Hexcel Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 30.93% of net profits
Recently Hexcel Corporation has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Hexcel Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Hexcel Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.575 per share.
While Hexcel Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Hexcel Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Hexcel Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 7 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 31 October 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Hexcel Corporation's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 22 May 1988 . So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Hexcel Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Hexcel Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Hexcel Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Hexcel Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $57.353 up to $76.5404. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Hexcel Corporation's is 1.298. This would suggest that Hexcel Corporation's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
