Huntington Ingalls: Shares of Long-Cycle Boat Builder Are Undervalued Despite Short-Term Choppiness

Nicolas Owens

Wide-moat Huntington Ingalls’ shares are trading 20% below our $317 fair value estimate. While shipbuilding doesn't offer the juiciest margins in the defense industry, it represents the quintessential set of conditions we see as providing durable competitive advantage and decades of visibility into revenue and profitability. The firm's quarterly revenue and profits can be lumpy, but we believe long-term investors will be rewarded in the wake of growing submarine and destroyer revenue.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

The National Defense Strategy prioritizes modernizing the military to counter potential great power adversaries. We think this will increase the proportion of the defense budget available to contractors.

Bears

Competing claims on future U.S. budget spending may depress future defense spending.

Company Profile

Huntington Ingalls Industries is the largest independent military shipbuilder in the U.S., spun off of Northrop Grumman in 2011. It operates three segments, two of which are storied shipyards: Ingalls produces non-nuclear-powered ships including amphibious landing ships and Arleigh Burke-class destroyers while Newport News produces nuclear-powered ships as the only producer of Gerald Ford-class aircraft carriers and a major subcontractor on Virginia and Columbia-class nuclear submarines. Huntington Ingalls shares production of destroyers and nuclear submarines with General Dynamics' Bath Iron Works and Electric Boat shipyards, respectively. The company’s Mission Technologies segment produces uncrewed sea vessels and provides a range of IT and other services to U.S. government agencies.
