We think it is a high risk growth company with nearly $800M in net debt at a market cap of $551M. The stock is extremely cheap at 2x forward earnings and it has recently made an acquisition which should help it continue to grow. Recent quarterly results were also strong reflecting this acquisition. The upgrade highlighted SOIL as a diversified entity, with a strong management team that should be able to optimze free cash flow generation. We think it is an risky purchase, at a small size in a volatile industry, but the potential for growth is there and it is extremely cheap.

ELF is trading at 42.7x Forward P/E, and the growth over the next few years is expected to be solid, above 15%. In the last five years, ELF’s valuation has ranged from a 26.5x forward P/E to as high as 52.7x. We think the current valuation is fair, but we would not consider it to be an aggressive buy yet.

HEI is a high-quality name in the aerospace industry; the company possesses a track record of compounding EPS by double-digits through acquisitions lasting for decades. In Q3-2024, HEI reported revenue growth of 37% to $992M, slightly below the expectation of $994M, and EBITDA also grew 40% to $2.84B. HEI also reported EPS of $0.97, beating the estimate of $0.92. HEI’s Flight Support segment experienced very strong demand with around 15% organic growth. HEI also runs a moderately leveraged balance sheet with net debt/EBITDA of 2.11x. Overall the result looks okay, in line with expectations, but its valuation is still not cheap enough to add at the current levels. Still, we would be comfortable holding HEI here for the long term.
