Evaluating Helios Technologies (HLIO) Valuation as Demand and Operational Gains Drive Investor Optimism
Helios Technologies (NYSE:HLIO) shares climbed higher after the company saw increased demand from its industrial and health & wellness segments. This growth was fueled by strong sales of its quick-release coupling products and effective cost discipline.
See our latest analysis for Helios Technologies.
Helios Technologies’ share price has rebounded over the past quarter, delivering a notable 46% gain in the last 90 days as investors responded to the company’s operational improvements and upbeat outlook. Despite some recent volatility, the 1-year total shareholder return of 8.9% points to a stock that appears to be regaining momentum as its end markets strengthen.
If Helios’ strong recent run has you looking for more opportunities, consider broadening your search and discover fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.
But with shares having soared recently, the key question is whether Helios Technologies still offers value at current levels or if the market has fully priced in its anticipated growth, which could leave would-be buyers on the sidelines.
The narrative’s fair value of $60.60 is higher than Helios Technologies’ last close at $52.98, suggesting room for further upside if analyst assumptions play out. The price target reflects expectations that operational improvements and industry megatrends could lift earnings and margins in the years ahead.
The shift in the industry towards electrification of mobile and industrial equipment is driving OEM demand for sophisticated electro-hydraulic and electronic control solutions. Helios is actively innovating in these areas, for example with Enovation Controls and Cygnus Reach, which supports both top-line growth and margin expansion over the medium to long term.
Read the complete narrative.
Curious about which future profit levers and bold margin goals underpin this premium fair value? The narrative’s assumptions involve ambitious improvements you might not expect for an industrial firm. Uncover the details that analysts believe could send shares even higher.
Result: Fair Value of $60.60 (UNDERVALUED)
Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what’s behind the forecasts.
However, risks remain if the market shifts away from traditional hydraulics or if Helios struggles to offset ongoing end-market volatility through innovation and diversification.
Find out about the key risks to this Helios Technologies narrative.
While the narrative suggests room for upside, a closer look at Helios Technologies’ price-to-earnings ratio raises questions. Shares currently trade at 50.3 times earnings, much higher than US Machinery industry peers at 24.2x and also above the fair ratio of 41.3x. This may indicate the market is already pricing in significant future growth. Does this premium leave little margin for error if expectations fall short?

Bitcoin, Energy and the Future of Sustainable Crypto
Professor Andrew Urquhart is Professor of Finance and Financial Technology and Head of the Department of Finance at Birmingham Business School (BBS).
This is the ninth installment of the Professor Coin column, in which I bring important insights from published academic literature on cryptocurrencies to the Decrypt readership. In this article, I discuss Bitcoin energy usage, and the future for sustainable cryptos.
When you hear the words “Bitcoin mining,” you might picture giant warehouses packed with whirring computers, gobbling up electricity like there’s no tomorrow. That image isn’t far from reality.
Since Bitcoin launched in 2009, its proof-of-work (PoW) system has been both its greatest strength and its biggest controversy. It keeps the network secure and decentralized, but it also ties digital finance to very real energy and environmental costs.
Professor Coin: What Gives Bitcoin Its Value?
The go-to benchmark is the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index (CBECI), which estimates that Bitcoin mining consumes electricity on the scale of mid-sized countries. But here’s the catch: Bitcoin’s energy use doesn’t rise smoothly. Instead, it follows market cycles. When Bitcoin’s price surges, miners switch on more rigs, pushing up hashrate, difficulty, and electricity demand. When prices dip, older or less efficient machines go dark.
Stoll, Klaaßen and Gallersdörfer (2019) pegged annual consumption around 46 TWh back then, with ~22 megatons of CO₂ emissions More recently, new data suggests that consumption has grown substantially.
According to the 2025 Cambridge Digital Mining Industry Report, Bitcoin’s annual electricity usage is now estimated at 138 TWh, with network-wide emissions of approximately 39.8 Mt CO₂e. The same report also notes that 52.4 % of the energy used by miners comes from sustainable sources (renewables + nuclear) as of 2025.
These updated figures help us see that while Bitcoin’s environmental footprint remains significant, the composition of its energy mix is also shifting—offering a more nuanced narrative for 2025.
How Much Energy Does Bitcoin Really Use? Less Than You Might Think
New research asks a broader question: what’s the total environmental cost? A 2023 paper by Chamanara et al. (2023) estimates Bitcoin mining at ~173 TWh, adding in CO₂, water, and land impacts.
Meanwhile, the UN University warned that mining draws heavily on freshwater in regions with scarce supply. And it’s not just the running of machines: de Vries (2021) estimated tens of kilotons of e-waste annually from discarded ASIC rigs, since miners churn through hardware every couple of years. This holistic picture means Bitcoin’s footprint is now seen as multi-dimensional: electricity, emissions, water, land, and waste.
