Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc.
Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) is the largest US military shipbuilder, specialising in surface combatants, amphibious ships and nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. The company operates major shipyards (Newport News and Ingalls) and a technical services division that supports maintenance, repair and defence programmes. HII’s revenue profile is driven by long-term, multi-year contracts with the US Department of Defense and a sizeable backlog that can provide visibility, though timing and milestones matter. With a market capitalisation around $11.28bn, investors often watch defence spending trends, programme awards and execution on complex builds. Key risks include budgetary shifts, schedule delays, cost overruns, supply-chain constraints and regulatory or safety issues that can affect margins and cash flow. HII can suit investors seeking exposure to the US defence-industrial base, but it’s not risk-free; performance can be cyclical and contract-dependent. This summary is for general educational purposes only and is not personal financial advice — consider your goals and seek a professional adviser if needed.
