Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) has been performing exceptionally in the sector, hitting a fresh record high following a significant contract win for the production of a new Navy frigate. The contract boosted institutional buying, triggering an 11% surge in HII's stock at the time. Subsequently, the company reported a 16.1% hike in Q3 FY25 revenue at $3.2bn. Management hosted the leaders of HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, thereby marking an essential milestone on building U.S. Navy frigates using AI technology from their long-standing partner, C3.AI. Additionally, HII's successful sea trials of a Virginia-Class Submarine (SSN 798) stimulated further investor interest. Part of HII's growth strategy involves expanding its industrial base via distributed shipbuilding and improving fiscal 2025's throughput by 15%. Globally, the shipbuilder has strategic agreements in place with HD Hyundai Heavy Industries and Babcock, and the enhancement of Navy training also played a crucial role in the narrative reshaping of HII. Despite a few layoffs, HII continues its vision for expansion, reflected in President Trump's plans for new 'Trump-class' battleships contributing to the industry's growth. On the innovation front, HII has unveiled AI-Enabled ROMULUS Unmanned Surface Vessels.
