Total Revenues
Total revenues came in at $2.02 billion, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.90 billion by 6.2%. The top line also rose 8.7% from $1.86 billion a year ago. The upside was driven by higher sales volume at the Newport News business division.
Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Newport News Shipbuilding: Revenues totaled $1,183 million, up 18.32% year over year backed by higher revenues in naval nuclear support services and aircraft carriers. Operating income improved 13.8% to $91 million owing to higher volumes.
Ingalls Shipbuilding: Revenues at this segment came in at $629 million, down 1.6% year over year on account of lower revenues from the Legend-class National Security Cutter (NSC) program and surface combatants. Operating income decreased 15.33% to $83 million due to lower risk retirement on the Tripoli and NSC programs.

Today's Stocks from Zacks' Hottest Strategies
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +21.9% in 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +115.0%, +109.3%, +104.9%, +98.6%, and +67.1%.
And this outperformance has not just been a recent phenomenon. Over the years it has been remarkably consistent. From 2000 - 2017, the composite yearly average gain for these strategies has beaten the market more than 19X over. Maybe even more remarkable is the fact that we're willing to share their latest stocks with you without cost or obligation.
