Huntington Ingalls Industries is the largest independent military shipbuilder in the US, spun out of Northrop Grumman in 2011. It operates three segments, two of which are storied 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 US government agencies.

도널드 트럼프 대통령은 여러 분야에서 지출을 줄이겠다고 약속했지만, 국방부는 예산이 증가할 가능성이 높은 곳 중 하나이다. 국방비 증가는 워싱턴에서 양당의 합의에 도달한 몇 안 되는 이슈 중 하나로, 최근 퇴임한 로이드 오스틴 국방장관이 500억 달러 증액을 2026년 현재 예측치에 추가로 권고했다.

Top 2 Industrials Stocks That May Fall Off A Cliff This Quarter

Huntington Ingalls Indus's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HII#NYSE">HII</a>) short percent of float has fallen 12.69% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 1.36 million shares sold short, which is 3.99% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.96 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744650032_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Huntington Ingalls Indus has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Huntington Ingalls Indus's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Huntington Ingalls Indus's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.16%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

What Does the Market Think About Huntington Ingalls Indus?

Wall Street ended the week on a strong note, with major indices posting their best weekly performance in years, as traders appeared confident that the escalation in the U.S.-China trade war — which led to triple-digit tariff increases on both sides — would be resolved in the near term.
Not even a shocking University of Michigan survey on consumer sentiment — revealing the most pronounced stagflation concerns in decades — nor fears of stress in the Treasury market were enough to curb the surge in dip-buying activity that emerged in the final <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44764554/consumer-sentiment-crashes-to-3-year-lows-as-inflation-expectations-spike-to-1981-highs">day of the week.</a>

From its lows earlier in the week, the index jumped 11% and now sits just four percentage points below the level it held prior to President Donald Trump's tariff announcement on April 2.
The Nasdaq 100 index, tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), also rose 1.8% on Friday, bringing weekly gains to 7.5% — its strongest performance since November 2022.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average, tracked by the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>), rose 1.6%, extending weekly gains to 4.9%, the best week for blue chips since October 2023.
From the week's lows, the Dow has gained about 10%, and it currently trades nearly five percentage points below the level prior to the tariff news.

Tensions in the Treasury market, which had triggered concern in Washington earlier in the day as the 30-year yield hit 5% and the 10-year surpassed 4.5%, eased by the close. The 30-year yield retreated sharply to 4.85%, while the 10-year settled at 4.47%.

Stocks Notch Best Week In Years As Dip Buying On Tariff Crisis Gathers Momentum

WIIM

Huntington Ingalls shares are trading higher after Goldman Sachs upgraded the stock from Sell to Buy and raised its price target from $145 to $234.

Wall Street regained momentum, reversing early-session losses and pushing major indexes into positive territory by midday trading in New York, as investors welcomed upbeat bank earnings and cooler-than-expected inflation data, while largely shrugging off trade war concerns after China raised tariffs on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44756353/xi-jinping-says-there-are-no-winners-in-tariff-war-as-china-slaps-125-tariffs-on-us-goods-urges-trump-to-immediately-correct-wrongdoings">U.S. goods to 125%.</a>
Producer prices cooled to 2.7% year-over-year in March, well below the 3.3% consensus, while the monthly figure declined by 0.4% — the steepest drop since 2023. 
A day earlier, consumer prices also eased more than expected. However, both inflation reports predate the implementation of new trade tariffs. The University of Michigan's latest consumer sentiment index fell sharply to 50.4, its lowest since June 2022 and below expectations. 
Meanwhile, inflation expectations surged: short-term projections hit their highest since 1990, and long-term views reached levels last seen in 1981, underscoring growing concerns over persistent price pressures. In the bond market, the 30-year Treasury yield retreated to 4.90% after briefly touching 4.99% during intraday trading. 
The dollar pared some losses, though it remained near its lowest level since April 2022, based on a trade-weighted index. 
JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) topped first-quarter earnings estimates and issued upbeat guidance, lifting its shares nearly 3% and outpacing peers. 
Gold prices extended their rally, jumping 1.9% to a record $3,230 per ounce — poised for their strongest weekly gain since March 2020. The surge in bullion and silver — with the latter rising over 3% on Friday — sparked strong gains in mining stocks. 
The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>) soared 5.5% on Friday and nearly 20% for the week, heading for its highest level since December 2012. 
Newmont Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>), the world's largest gold miner, jumped 9% on the day and 25% on the week, marking its best weekly performance since 1998.

Shares of aerospace and defense companies are trading higher following President Trump's decision to implement a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China.

Shares of military shipbuilding company Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HII#NYSE">HII</a>) were <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket">trading higher in premarket </a>on Monday after delivering the first two Lionfish small uncrewed undersea vehicles to the U.S. Navy.
This marks a key development in a defense contract that could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/g44664263/hii-delivers-initial-lionfish-suuvs-to-u-s-navy-under-multi-year-program">eventually encompass 200 units and exceed $347 million</a> in total value.
The Lionfish system, derived from HII's REMUS 300 line, is a customizable underwater drone engineered for adaptable use in a range of defense applications like mine countermeasures, surveillance, electronic warfare and submarine tracking.
It was created through a collaboration with the U.S. Navy and the Defense Innovation Unit, aiming to fast-track the integration of commercially developed autonomous technologies into military missions.

The Lionfish initiative marks the Navy's first move from a prototype to full-scale manufacturing within its innovation-focused acquisition strategy. Lionfish remains the sole underwater drone to meet the Navy's cybersecurity requirements.
&#8220;The success and on-time delivery of Lionfish is the product of close collaboration between the government and industry team that will put a critical mine hunting capability in the hands of sailors and marines in an operationally relevant time frame,&#8221; said Duane Fotheringham, president of Mission Technologies&#8217; Uncrewed Systems business group.
The REMUS series allows for quick integration of mission-specific payloads and future tech upgrades. 
In 2023, HII obtained the manufacturing contract and launched production at its specialized autonomous systems site in Pocasset, Massachusetts. 
Since its inception, the REMUS line has been adopted by over 30 nations, including more than a dozen NATO allies. Over 700 units have been sold globally, and over 90% remain operational after more than two decades.
For FY25, Huntington&nbsp;Ingalls sees Mission&nbsp;Technologies'<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43534128/huntington-ingalls-sinks-on-q4-earnings-miss-margins-cash-flow-take-a-hit">&nbsp;revenue of&nbsp;$2.9 billion – $3.1 billion</a> and a total revenue of $11.80 billion – $12.20 billion.
Price Action: HII shares traded higher by 7.72% at $199.22 in premarket at last check Monday.

In the current session, Huntington Ingalls Indus Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HII#NYSE">HII</a>) is trading at $184.95, after a 7.16% decrease.

<h3>Evaluating Huntington Ingalls Indus P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 141.26 in the Aerospace &amp; Defense industry, Huntington Ingalls Indus Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 14.27. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued.

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.
