Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII), a leading American defense company, has made numerous notable strides recently, including a major achievement in shipbuilding and executive reshuffling. They received a
$6.7 billion contract from the U.S. Air Force to support its electronic warfare mission. HII also plans to
acquire the assets and workforce of a South Carolina metal fabricator, significantly expanding its shipbuilding spectrum. Their efforts in fleet sustainment, amphibious ship orders, and workforce development in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) have also been highlighted. HII reported a record-breaking Q2 2024, with $48.5B backlog. However, amidst these positives, the company faced some challenges such as significants losses which led to fraud investigations from Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP and other law firms. Investigations also accrued regarding contract delays and supply chain issues, forcing HII to cut its 2024 revenue outlook. Despite this, their obedience to digitalization, plans to outperform shipyard growth, and substantial share repurchase program strengthens the company's standing.
