Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Huntington Ingalls Industries stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Huntington Ingalls, being the nation's largest military shipbuilder, the company has stable financials and regularly returns cash to shareholders. The company also maintains stable liquidity and capital resources to fund its operations. In addition, the company focuses on maximizing shareholder value, through both share repurchases and increased dividend payouts. During the third quarter, Huntington Ingalls secured $2.8 billion in new contracts, which resulted in total backlog of $22 billion. The shipbuilding business outlook remains strong given the fiscal 2019 defense budget that got its final approval this June. However, its exposure to debt, combined with the company’s ability to incur significant amounts of debt in the future, increases its vulnerability to adverse economic or industry conditions. The company's shares underperformed its industry in last 12 months." (1/15/2019)
