We are picking up coverage of Huntington Ingalls with a wide moat rating, and compared with our fair value estimate of $283 per share, we see the stock as undervalued. While the long-cycle shipbuilding business does not offer the juiciest margins in the defense contracting industry, it represents perhaps the quintessential set of conditions that we see as providing durable competitive advantage and extreme visibility into revenue and profitability for decades.
Huntington Ingalls Industries is the largest independent military shipbuilder in the U.S., spun off of Northrop Grumman in 2011. It operates three segments, two of which are historied shipyards: Ingalls produces non-nuclear-powered ships including amphibious landing ships and Arleigh Burke-class destroyers while Newport News produces nuclear-powered ships as the only producer of Gerald Ford-class aircraft carriers and a major subcontractor on Virginia and Columbia-class nuclear submarines. Huntington Ingalls shares production of destroyers and nuclear submarines with General Dynamics' Bath Iron Works and Electric Boat shipyards, respectively. The company’s Mission Technologies segment produces uncrewed sea vessels and provides a range of IT and other services to U.S. government agencies.

HII’s stock style is Mid Core.
Style is an investment factor that has a meaningful impact on investment risk and returns.
Style is calculated by combining value and growth scores, which are first individually calculated.
High-growth stocks tend to represent the technology, healthcare, and communications sectors. They rarely distribute dividends to shareholders, opting for reinvestment in their businesses. More value-oriented stocks tend to represent financial services, utilities, and energy stocks. These are established companies that reliably pay dividends.
