About Huntington Ingalls Industries, INC.

Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. (HII) is a leading U.S. defense company listed on the NYSE under the ticker HII in the United States (United States). The company is best known as America’s largest military shipbuilder, but its platform now extends beyond traditional shipbuilding into all-domain mission technologies. HII was formed on March 31, 2011 as an independent publicly traded company through the combination of two legacy shipbuilding businesses, Newport News Shipbuilding and Ingalls Shipbuilding. Its industrial heritage, however, reaches back more than 140 years, giving the company a uniquely entrenched position in the U.S. defense industrial base. ([hii.com](https://www.hii.com/history?utm_source=openai)) HII’s headquarters are in Newport News, Virginia, with major operating sites in Pascagoula, Mississippi; McLean, Virginia; and Washington, D.C. The company reports roughly 44,000 employees and organizes its business around three main segments: Newport News Shipbuilding, Ingalls Shipbuilding, and Mission Technologies. Newport News is focused on the design, construction, overhaul, and maintenance of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines. Ingalls builds surface combatants and amphibious ships for the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard. Mission Technologies provides integrated solutions across cyber, ISR, electronic warfare, AI/ML, synthetic training, and unmanned systems, including underwater vehicles. ([ir.hii.com](https://ir.hii.com/?utm_source=openai)) From a competitive standpoint, HII benefits from very high barriers to entry, long-cycle government programs, nuclear engineering expertise, and deep customer relationships with the U.S. Department of Defense and the Navy. The company also positions itself as a global defense provider and a leading producer of unmanned underwater vehicles for the U.S. Navy. That combination makes HII strategically important in both the core fleet and the rapidly growing domain of mission technologies and autonomous systems. ([ir.hii.com](https://ir.hii.com/?utm_source=openai)) HII’s key products and services include nuclear aircraft carriers, Virginia-class submarines, destroyers, amphibious transport docks, ship repair and modernization, and a growing set of digital and mission-critical technologies. Its customer base is primarily U.S. government-driven, although some technology offerings and partnerships have international relevance. In its 2024 full-year results, HII reported backlog of $48.7 billion, highlighted deliveries of the Virginia-class submarine New Jersey (SSN 796) and the amphibious transport dock Richard M. McCool Jr. (LPD 29), and said Mission Technologies secured more than $12 billion in contract awards during 2024.

HII entered 2025 emphasizing delivery performance and continued expansion of Mission Technologies. The company also announced a strategic engagement with HD Hyundai Heavy Industries to advance joint goals under their memorandum of understanding, underscoring HII’s interest in industrial partnerships. For investors, HII offers a defense-heavy profile with long-duration programs, U.S. budget exposure, and strong backlog visibility, while remaining sensitive to program timing, labor execution, and margin performance on complex shipbuilding contracts.
