Description: HXL Hexcel January 10, 2026
Hexcel Corporation (NYSE:HXL) designs, manufactures, and markets carbon-fiber composites, honeycomb structures, resins, and related parts for commercial aerospace, space & defense, and industrial markets, operating through two segments: Composite Materials and Engineered Products.
Key metrics: FY 2023 revenue reached roughly $2.0 billion with an operating margin near 8%; the company reported a backlog of about $3.5 billion, indicating strong order flow. Growth drivers include rising jet-liner deliveries (projected 3-4 % CAGR through 2028), expanding wind-turbine blade demand, and sustained U.S. defense spending that supports high-performance composite applications. Raw-material cost volatility-particularly for polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursors-remains a material-price risk that Hexcel manages through long-term supply contracts.
