What are Wall Street analysts saying about Huntington Ingalls Industries stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Huntington Ingalls Industries stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Huntington Ingalls has outperformed the broader industry in past one month. Being the nation's largest military shipbuilder, Huntington Ingalls has stable financials and regularly returns cash to shareholders. It is the sole designer and manufacturer of nuclear powered aircraft carriers in the United States, with more than 70% of the active U.S. Navy fleet consisting of Huntington Ingalls’ ships. Its solid capital resources that fund its operations allow the company to consistently generate improved cash flow. However, Huntington Ingalls' limited commercial exposure and high dependence on government contracts might dent margins amid uncertain U.S. defense spending trends. The company’s limited commercial exposure and almost full government dependency may prove fatal in maintaining its margins and bottom line." (4/24/2018)
