Read MoreHide Full Article
Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. (HII - Free Report) is slated to report second-quarter 2022 results on Aug 4, before market open.
Huntington Ingalls delivered an earnings surprise of 5.74%, in the last reported quarter. The company came up with a four-quarter average negative earnings surprise of 12.14%.
Factors to Note
Higher volumes on amphibious assault ships programs as well as moderate naval nuclear support service revenues are expected to have favorably impacted the company’s revenues in the soon-to-be-reported quarter.
Moreover, growth from the Virginia class and Columbia class submarine programs as well as revenues for carrier construction and overhaul are also projected to have boosted the company’s Q2 performance.
