Huntington Ingalls stock (ISIN US4464131063) traded at $277.21 on September 19, 2026, after MarketBeat showed a close of $277.21 and a market capitalization of $10.92 billion, with the shares down 0.32 percent on the session.

Q2 figures stay central

According to Stock Titan, Huntington Ingalls Industries reported June 30, 2026 quarter sales and service revenues of $3.418 billion, up from $3.082 billion a year earlier, while operating income rose to $210 million from $163 million and diluted EPS increased to $5.27 from $3.86. The same filing said first-half 2026 revenue climbed to $6.517 billion from $5.816 billion and net earnings to $357 million from $301 million.

The quarter also lifted backlog to $57.3 billion at June 30, 2026, versus $53.1 billion at year-end 2025, and Stock Titan said about 35 percent of remaining performance obligations are expected to convert to revenue through 2027.

Analyst view and backlog

MarketBeat puts the consensus price target at $368.88 and the consensus rating at Moderate Buy, based on five buy ratings and five hold ratings, while its Q2 note says Huntington Ingalls reported earnings on July 30, 2026 and beat consensus EPS estimates by $1.48. That puts the stock about 33.1 percent below the consensus target as of September 19, 2026.

The backlog and the target gap give investors two reference points at once: long-cycle shipbuilding visibility on one side, and a valuation that still sits well below the analyst average on the other.
