Hexagon's third quarter delivered another strong beat to company-compiled consensus with 13% organic growth and an EBITAC margin of 25.3%. Management's comments on backlog growth were constructive. The shares were up 2% intraday on Oct. 23.
Hexagon’s margins lead peers, with further improvements expected.
Overall, while historical acquisitions have been strategically sound, ROICs indicate price discipline has room for improvement.
