Current price does reflect the current value. But as oil price falls, and airlines start to recover, their profits will grow.
Also, they benefit alot during bad economic times.

This stock along with the rest of the defense sector is heading higher. Say hello to investors and money managers looking to survive a recession this summer by jumping into defense. Learn to follow the crowd (mutual funds and such)--it consistantly weathers better than navigating against the grain.

HEICO Corp Bullish.
This stock has a 4 stars rating by S&P which does not always mean a lot, I've seen stocks drop abruptly after a very high ranking. But still...
Analysts ratings have moved up in the past month.
As mentioned by someone else, it is one of the top five growth stocks from the Wall street Journal.
Thestreet.com has a A+ rating on that stock,
Why not "ride the wave"?
What attracts me to this stock is that they make approved cheaper replacement parts for jet engines, and they have quite an impressive list of high grade airliner clients:Lufthansa,American,United, Delta, Japan Airlines,British Airways.
The Pentagon will have to replace lots of parts, and (supposing that they do care about taxpayers more then about pleasing other "friendly" lobbyists), it could also become a good client.
I'm not too impressed by the dividend, this would not motivate me per se, but the mere fact that they do pay something is a good sign too.
Technically, the stock is bullish for the short, the middle and the long term, and the relative strength is very high!
Third quarter results will be released on August 29th - to buy before or after? this is always a gamble.
The less good aspect is the selling of the insiders in 2007, although not too massive. There are no buys. So this might not be a long term buy.
