If this Lithium stock is linked to my HEI Points, I’m rich.
Hawaii’s legislature passed substantial reforms, putting liability caps for future wildfires. Authorization for $500 million in securitized funding for wildfire resilience and infrastructure investments approved. https://www.hei.com/investor-relations/news-and-events/news/news-details/2025/HEI-Reports-Second-Quarter-2025-Results/
HEI at around $3 adjusted for splits. Currently at $312 so about 100x. Only about $1000 into it and I've sold over time to diversify so no idea what the total profit is (Roth account so I don't really care).
Yea. Just randomly starting buying HEI, AXON, and TT during the last week. HEI only one that shot up so will focus on adding to AXON and TT now.
Wish I bought more HEI before its earnings.

HEI: +287%/5y - KOG: +1053%/5y - LDO: +639% - NORBT: +1291%/5Y - RHM: 2152%/5y
HWM, HEI - both major providers of MRO services for aircraft. Very lucrative.
Went all in on drones and lasers $KTOS $DRS $HEI ... and $GOOGL
Possibly HEI? It's always my go to name for aerospace. Aerospace is just a great niche. There's usually only a few companies that make any specific part so there's a ton of pricing power. There's also huge amounts of growth as Asia and LATAM increase their standards of living. Add onto that space, satellites, and drones ....it's just a great place to be. Also, most of the names aren't consumer facing and this tend to be less well known in investing.
$HEI * Record quarterly net sales of $1.1 billion, up 15% YoY * Net income increased 27% to $156.8 million * Operating margin improved to 22.6% from 21.9% YoY * Cash flow from operations up 45% to $204.7 million * 19 consecutive quarters of growth in Flight Support Group * Net debt to EBITDA ratio improved to 1.86x from 2.06x * Strong organic growth across product lines * Decreased demand for medical and defense products in Electronic Technologies Group * Lower gross profit margin in Electronic Technologies Group * Electronic Technologies Group operating margin declined to 22.8% from 23.6% YoY
Cramer is calling out HEI and UPFT on this show today lol. Going through like some of the best returns over the past 20 years of companies over 1B marketcap. Even asked the CEO if he wanted to come on the show.
Right? I figured the DOGE fears would end up overblown, although I didn't position myself **that** heavily toward those names (a regret - but still happy I got some...those AMTM leaps are doing quite well). I also sold out of a good amount of electrification/datacenter names a few weeks before liberation day. And then started buying them back post-Liberation. I still have a lot of cash to deploy (40%), so looking to double-down on what I have or get some new names. I do think we'll see another higher low soon, so I'm going slow, but I feel like the bottom is in **for now** (barring any crazy new shenanigans). I saw some of your other comments about aerospace names. I've owned ISSC for a while, used to own LOAR, and got into HEI recently. I bought TTMI after learning about it from you! And I need to see why TATT fell post-earnings (will do tomorrow morning).
HEI HOOD Equity Inclusion
After a long time on my watchlist, I finally got HEI on that February dip. Hope that bottom holds.
I got the recommendation to buy HEI in 2018. I had some money saved up, and thought against it because I was still in college. I missed the whole train right there for reasons I can't talk about.
Every stock in the market: surge on earnings, the. Sell off by 10am. HEI: yeah, I got this.
HEI starting to look interesting on this pullback....
I need a massive rebound in 2025, looking at adding: Monolithic Power Systems (MPWR), Heico (HEI), and First Solar (FSLR) Maybe doubling down on Palantir Technologies (PLTR) and Rigetti Computing (RGTI). Targeting outsized returns here.
Buffet is also 94 and trying to not put next-in-line in a difficult situation where they have make a hard decision about APPL stock. He is also buying SIRI, HEI.A, ULTA. Outside of diasters/conflicts, potential looms, but I don’t see a huge drop with no bounce back until the crypto, ai and quantum computing bubbles get incredibly over inflated. Tech is too much of a catalyst. 2026 perhaps. Not financial advice
Yes, but NUKK if you BUKK is a good stock. HEI if you want your calls to go BEI is overvalued*
This HEI ER call is nuts. The guy basically said If you have HEI, your account is going BEI
HEICO CORPORATION (NYSE:HEI.A)(NYSE:HEI) today reported net income increased 35% to a record $139.7 million, or $.99 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, up from $103.4 million, or $.74 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

Yes. Going in with 30k in non FD calls (made a thread recently with positions, swung trade HEI puts and will buy more MU calls at 9:30)
Puts on HEI, GIS, BURK, and ABM. Calls on OGI.
Well thank you JBL for covering my shitty decision on HEI
vert I'm more proud of my HEI put spreads lol
Tell that to HEI holders
Tried to tell yall. Calls on HEI make your account go BEI 
Ouch HEI took a beating
Well im sure glad I didn't buy calls on HEI.
Puts on AMB, BIRK, GIS, HEI, and then inversed myself and went GIS calls. My positions in HEI & AMB are small. I bet the house on GIS & BIRK. SEE YOU AT THE TIPPITY TOP 
If you have HEI Your calls are going BEI
Anyone buying HEI calls? Historically has performed well for earnings
You're fiending for a play huh MU calls HEI puts There. Stop being so desperate lol
this is also why I'm bullish on HEI, GD and RTX. I saw news articles concerned about future budget allocation in the next administration and like... are we really even considering a trump administration would lower the military budget???
Yea of course. I don’t expect them all to be positive at the 5-year mark. And i have no idea which will be the losers and the winners. Trust that this 10 *is* the dialed in list, I could maybe toss HEI & KNSL too, leaving with 8. I originally had around 30, with different weighting of course, filtered out all that I though was subpar to these
Oh i thought you said CRS and HEI. Yea that makes sense
Agree, I love FIX but definitely think it’s due for a huge pullback. I prefer putting money to work in CRS vs HEI. Just my.02. When NVO launches amycretin, I think it takes off like a rocket.
HEI is not cheaper nor has as much growth. Historical price change as well as how much youre up/down % on a stock matters very little. What the current valuation is is the main thing. And FIX has a PEG of ~1.3. Especially for 30%, that’s very reasonable
FIX up $300+ in a year is downright scary. There are other companies like HEI that are cheaper. Out of all these I like NVO, as recent drop makes sense to buy here.
> Buffet is and has always been a value investor and as such will withdraw from decent companies if he feels the P/E isn't justified. This is what blows my mind about him purchasing HEI. It wasn't a big stake, all things considered, but the P/E on that thing is and always has been *really* high.
.. and yet he just bought a bunch of HEI. I've held that for 20 years now and it's ALWAYS overbought
Translation: We will return to HEI hires (homogeneity, exclusion, and inequity).
Immediately take out 2x your initial stake and lock in that 100% gain. As you find other stocks you want to invest it, sell portions to diversify. I've used this approach with HEI over the past 20 years. Nothing like the rocket you seem to be on, but it's had a good 20 year run. I probably lost $10k to $15k by doing so, but I slept better a night which I consider a great tradeoff.
besides domino pizza, BH bought more aerospace HEI. this is totally against his traditional value approach. that’s the only thing that caught my eyes.
You might want to invest in more defensive stocks like CHD, JNJ, UNH, COST, PAYX, HEI
HE: Form 8K - Effective November 1, 2024, Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (“HEI”) and Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (“Hawaiian Electric”) entered into two definitive settlement agreements (collectively, the “Settlement Agreements”) to settle the tort litigation (expressly excluding securities and derivative actions) arising out of the 2023 Maui windstorm and wildfires, including the fires in Lahaina, Kula, and Olinda
I don’t know about never sell but I think the following are all very unlikely to lose their bull thesis soon. ISGR CDNS HEI
5 year est. PE on cost VITL 6.3 TSM 8.4 NVDA 8.5 IESC 6.2 FIX 5.9 ~~AMZN 17.9~~ ~~MELI 10.1~~ ~~GOOGL 11.4~~ ~~MSFT 14.5~~ ~~HEI 15.3~~ Coincidentally works out that the top 5 in order are also the better value half
I would normally agree, but they are in a unique position. The settlement will be paid over time, so they can use revenue to fund the payouts over time. They can also sell off parts of themselves; for example, American Savings Bank, which I think is like the third largest bank in the state. That's pretty crazy. But, what's crazier, is that their local government won't allow HEI to be bought by an outside company either. Their governor once stopped a company in California from buying HEI.
HEI. Bought it at about $4 many years ago. I still have $14k worth, but it'd be worth soooooo much more if I hadn't sold. Still, I'd do it again. It was the right move. I diversified my portfolio and did OK with what I replaced it with. I'm down $30k, but I slept better at night. Fair trade.
There’s a bunch of industrial stonks i see that never go down but I feel like eventually they’ll be great shorts if you can hold shares. Some of these jumped up 50-80% in a year. URI, NVR, CTAS, AXON, HEI, GWW, TGD, TT, etc Anyone else take a shot at these?
I know Heico is quality business, but it's PE ratio is so high, and is always high, yet its ROIC is always low. Also, the never seem to buy back shares, in fact it's the opposite (shareholder dilution). Then, I look at other quality businesses like ODFL and CPRT which seem to be better businesses and they are trading at half the PE ratio of HEI. I just don't get it. Does anyone get this?
I also think Berkshire buying HEI might have peaked some more interest in aerospace names.
"I see hives of AI controlled flying taxis in the future of major cities and islands." I don't have anything against this conceptually, but I look at the state of government and I look at the state of infrastructure and I'd like to have the confidence that some people have about mass adoption of things like Jetsons-esque flying taxis. I don't see it anytime this decade and it's not that I don't want to. I also worry that - similar to 2020/21, people start piling into "10-20 years from now this'll be the biggest thing! ideas" when they are priced as if that growth will be sooner. Another 2022 happens and those things get obliterated again. For me, anything that is early stage/highly speculative sits as a very small holding until it starts to prove itself over time. How much allocation do I want to have to something that "may or may not have mass adoption by 2040-2050" - very, very little. There's too many things that are working today and anything that is very early stage (maybe more wide use case 10-20+ years from now) is going to have a tough time the next recession or three. I would rather aerospace suppliers - HON, HEI, etc - that benefit if this happens to work out over time but will be fine otherwise. I would not be buying airlines or car companies.
Oh totally. Yeah, it's a common thing, but just a bit of a knit pick, since the HEI and ULTA ones I think were a bit smaller and in theory could still other people, but there is at least a reason why those names popped up for Berkshire.
It's a stupidly small position, but enough to have people put that company out of reach from my grubby hands from a valuation perspective. Fucking hell. I would think a position that immaterial for Berkshire was suggested by an analyst. Crazy thing is an immaterial position is $185 million. That's enough money at HEI to get a direct line with the Mendelsons.
>and just over a million shares of Heico, a supplier to the aerospace industry. That stake was worth $185 million I don't get the math here on HEI
I've got a watchlist but I've only added opportunistically. If it wasn't for life events getting in the way I would have more dry powder and would have had to exit positions that I wanted to hold. I've got AMAT, HEI, IRSG, KNSL, FICO and MSCI on close watch. FICO is stupidly expensive to the point where I had to sell for my own stake because I had no downside protection at my original buy price. KNSL I was forced to sell for personal reasons. The rest are ideas that I might act on if the price reaches a discount I feel I should act on.
Brother, Hawaiian Electric Industries (HEI) supplies electricity to approximately 95% of Hawaii’s residents. Including the islands of Oahu, Maui, Molokai, Lanai, and Hawaii (the Big Island). With subsidiaries like Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO) for Oahu, Maui Electric Company (MECO) for Maui, Lanai, and Molokai, and Hawaii Electric Light Company (HELCO) for the Big Island. 1.36 million people are using the company. Its free money imo
Both TDG and HEI have seen significant multiple expansion over the past decade. Future returns will almost certainly be significantly lower.
I wouldn't be bullish over the long-term because I just don't think the long-term returns for the company since IPO have been all that compelling. Could I see an oversold bounce? Sure. Long-term if I wanted aerospace exposure I'd much rather get and forget TDG or HEI, both of which are superbly managed companies that have delivered - particularly in the case of the latter being up about 118,000% over time - for shareholders consistently over time.
My first thought was bullish for aerospace names. My second thought was bearish on aerospace names because depending on what is actually restricted it could cause supply chain issues for US aerospace names. For example, if you make jet engines but now can't get a few key parts, your whole engine is unable to be completed. I don't believe there are a lot of other options, depending on the parts. My third thought was bullish, because US companies will start making more unique parts that were previously made in China. Larger TAM= more sales. My fourth thought was bearish because the US is likely to retaliate which would cost US companies business in China. So yeah, I'll be curious to see how it plays out. I like HEI because if it's just a few random parts, heico is really good at designing copycat parts.

Can you run: F, CVS, WSO, COST, TSCO, HEI, JNJ?
Culp is an elite CEO, GE Aerospace is an excellent business but not quite as good as TDG/HEI
Ha! No, I used the term to refer to a specific type of company. High ROIC, high growth..... compounders. While I own several of those types, I think there's been a big rush into them. Companies like KNSL, MEDP, MSFT, HEI....they just have run to really lofty valuations. I posted an article about the "quality bubble". That's what I meant. The headlines go to the big names, but there's still coal, gas, oil....etc. Most of the usual contributors for them.
I had HEI being like 70% of my Roth at one point (that was when the Roth was only 20k and it was only that large because of HEI's growth). I sold as I found alternative stocks I liked. It's now down to 20% of my 7 stock portfolio.
My worst investment mistake was not pulling the trigger on META at under $100 because I personally hated Mark Zuckerberg. My second biggest mistake was not taking the HEI's CFO advice to invest in HEI back in 2019. Still stings to this day.
Sorry investment isn't going well. Wouldn't recommend investing in airlines - would rather HEI/TDG in aerospace. If LUV is down on fewer deliveries from BA, every other airline likely also to be impacted. Kinda can't believe BA isn't down more.
HEI would be by far my favorite aerospace play. Basically betting on a great company and continued worldwide growth in aviation.
I'd rather own HEI or TDG if I had to own aerospace related.

Hello, sure so. Also still own HEI stock
> company still growing that reminds me of META in Oct 2022 This was brought up a lot last year. Not at all an apples-to-apples comparison - fintech is commoditized, highly competitive, limited and yesterday's inane "shock the world" presentation showed that. The bearishness may have gotten a little overdone but the cheerleading of companies that are not great on here (mediocre management, persistent industry and/or company headwinds issues, etc) and then the inevitable frustration and complaining when the stock continues to disappoint (see PYPL all last year, see PFE all last year, see a few other things) is dismaying. I had so many arguments on here about PFE last year and it's perplexing to me the level of enthusiasm and energy that this sub had about a company whose shareholder returns over the last couple of decades have been crap. PYPL is not a bad company, it's not a great company and the decline over the last couple of years or so should be telling people that there are issues with legacy fintech - in 2020/21, you had every other fintech going, "now with crypto!", "now trade stocks!" Fighting over checkout real estate to get their "buy now" button. It's not a great business and it's competing against Apple who can afford to compete in payments whereas with PYPL it's the whole business. Paypal is limited: their presentation yesterday didn't excite people and felt like things other people have done already. "Shock the world" presentation turned out to be stuff that feels like table stakes and it makes the new CEO look silly and red flag-y. They can't really buy something entirely different or you risk a revolt like the failed PINS purchase - and looking back, that failed PINS purchase tells you a lot. So many people last year, "they can buy back stock!" Can they do it well? Are buybacks in/of itself that exciting when the business itself isn't? How about a good business that is doing buybacks instead? Good luck to you - genuinely - but honestly the "buy the big name I've heard of and is down a lot" was such a big topic of conversation on here last year and didn't work pretty much across the board yet seems to be a primary topic again so far in 2024. Meanwhile, well-run companies continue to do well - for all the "I'm not buying LLY, look how cheap PFE is and they have an obesity drug too!" I saw last year, the stock failed the obesity drug trial, took down FY24 guidance and is down another 8% or so to start the year. People trying to pile into BA rather than just enjoy quietly, consistently successful TDG or HEI. Companies that disappoint over a long enough period often continue to.
You rule man! Thanks so much. Yeah HEI is one the ones that pops up, just like you said, priced accordling.
Still not sure why people are so into BA when TDG and HEI exist. "BA is too important to go bust" is not a good thesis. Something can be part of a duopoly and be mismanaged - while it may not go to 0 you can do better elsewhere. Just ask long-term T/VZ shareholders.
COST, HEI, CVS, WSO, TSCO A month ago, CAT and A, but they are up 20% since then.
BRO is great but too expensive. There are other many insurance brokers out there to compete with. HEI we've discussed, it would require the "crummy DCF" as you put it to justify it. I'm not a fan of assuming extremely high terminal multiples on top of very high growth assumptions. CPRT another great name but again... they are priced to absolute perfection with no margin for safety. In any era but this one, even ZIRP in the 2010's something like CPRT would not be cheap but not necessarily trade at 40-50 PE either. SBUX has grown ~8.9% CAGR net income in the past 10 years. A mere 137%. It's good, no BRK in allocation and their stock has returned 261% even though much was during ZIRP easy mode as we enter the real world (hopefully). SBUX is it getting there in terms of price? Sorta yea the case is much more reasonable there, it's as obscenely priced in for growth as everything else. But more and more people are just making coffee at home with service inflation rising. Their coffee tastes good for people who are willing to drink rocket fuel to wake them up like me but many coffee aficionados think it's often very subpar.
