Hexcel Corporation [NYSE:HXL] shares are showing an active tape with a current price of $37.02 on Friday.

Hexcel Corporation is in the Industrials sector under the Aerospace & Defense industry. This week, we are watching the stock hit price per sales of 1.55 with an earning per share of 2.29.

For the year, the stock is trading -49.50% and the five-day change stands at -0.35%. As a point of reference, the S&P 500 is trading 0.87% YTD.

The Bears are coming

Holding a Market Cap of $3.19 billion, Hexcel Corporation has seen a trading range over the last year of $24.54-$80.57.

For the last five days, HXL is down from its last closing price. The average shares trading hands each day is 765.40K, with average 10-day volume coming in at 1.04 million.

Using a Force Index Indicator is a good way to look at how strong actual buying and selling pressure is for HXL. When we apply the Elder Force Index to Hexcel Corporation, we are seeing an Elder Force Indicator number of -1192434.75.

Recent Performance

The recent performance of the stock is another area that can tell traders how to proceed. HXL is presenting an interesting case. This can be seen in the Forward P/E ratio, which currently stands at 26.87. Moreover, the company’s enterprise value has gone from $4.84B to $4.10B quarter-over-quarter. Obviously, the company is heading in the wrong direction, but there are still opportunities for growth in the sector.

In the last quarter, HXL made a profit of 54.9 million. Hexcel Corporation also saw quarter revenue growth year over year of 8.03%. In addition, the company has operating cash flow of $407.5 million.

Technical Analysis

Looking at popular technical indicators, the company’s 5-day moving average is 37.44 compared to the 50-day moving average of 37.63. So, traders might want to tread carefully if they are going to bid.

The Relative Strength Index or RSI is an indicator ranging between 0 and 100 that traders use to determine if a stock is “overbought” or “oversold.” A strong uptrend tending to reach into the “overbought” status is above 70, while a downward trend will stay around the 30 mark. HXL currently holds a 9-day RSI of 52.88%, while 100-day RSI stands at 46.08%.

Another indicator we believe is worth keeping tabs on is the Moving Average Convergence Divergence or MACD. Similar to the concept of the Force Index — on the basis of price momentum — the MACD gives traders a tool to measure the turning point of a stock even during rapid fluctuations in price. Buy and sell signals are determined by a stock’s relation to the zero line, so if a stock is above a zero line for many weeks it might be a “buy.” On the other hand, if a stock is below the zero line consistently, it might be one to stay away from. Also, if the MACD line reaches a peak and dips, its momentum may be waning. HXL’s 9-day MACD is 1.31 and the company’s 100-day MACD stands at -2.81.

Inside Moves

Another area that is important to analyze is insider moves and majority shareholders. While this is not always an error-free way to tell what the future holds for a stock, you can maybe gather important information from reading the tea leaves about who is buying and selling.

The major holders for this stock are 0.57% by insiders and 100.67% by institutions.

Over the last six months, insiders have sold 10,810 with the most recent transaction from Merlot Thierry, See Remarks, with a sell at price 36.44 per share.

Conclusion

Overall, the recommended rating for HXL is Moderate Buy. Currently, the company has 19 analysts watching the stock, and the average quarterly earnings estimate is 0.09. Quarterly revenue estimates are averaging 359M with the high estimate reaching 407.34M and the low at 315.6M.

To review, the current 1-year target estimate is sitting at 40.53, while the current price 37.02. Based on this, we expect the stock to rise considering the aforementioned fundamentals.
