Huntington Ingalls Industries grows shipbuilding revenue near $9.8 billion in 2026. Mission Technologies aims for $3.0-$3.2 billion revenue this year. Profit margin guidance is steady at 5%. The company has a cheap valuation with a PE of 18.8 versus peers at 38.
Shipbuilding throughput growth is uncertain with mixed progress. Mission Technologies shows revenue growth but declining profitability. The recent sharp share price drop signals market concerns. Profit margins are low at 5%, limiting earnings power.
The stock trades about 20% below our fair value near $366. Analysts expect 5% revenue growth. Our view aligns with this but sees risk in margin and execution.
Breaks if: Free cash flow falls below $500M in FY26
Breaks if: Mission Technologies revenue falls below $3.0B in FY26
