This Defense Stock Has a $57B Backlog and New AI Tailwinds
Written by Gabriel Osorio-Mazilli. Published 10/24/2025.
Key Points
- Huntington Ingalls' stock now trades near a 52-week high, although its market capitalization is significantly below the sector average.
- Government defense spending has led to an increase in the company's backlog, boosting EPS forecasts.
- AI implementation could raise margins to new highs, justifying the continuation of its bullish price action.
In the world of defense investing, some of the best opportunities come not from discovering new names, but from re-evaluating essential companies that Wall Street may be underpricing relative to their strategic value.
One such case is Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE: HII), a major player in the U.S. defense sector with a market cap of $11.5 billion.
Once-in-a-generation financial crisis is coming (Ad)
An unstoppable force is reshaping America — one so powerful it's already disrupting how we work, invest, and live. Porter Stansberry calls it The Final Displacement — a rare turning point that's only happened four times in human history, each one redefining entire eras. His new documentary reveals why this shift could trigger both immense loss and unprecedented opportunity, and what you can do to prepare before it accelerates.

Huntington Ingalls' record backlogs, artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, and robust defense spending create a rare setup for long-term earnings growth and valuation expansion, even though the stock is trading near its highs.
Huntington Ingalls Is at the Center of Naval Power
The United States Navy is one of the most extensive and well-equipped in the world.
The 2025 defense budget stands just under $850 billion, with roughly $40 billion allocated to shipbuilding and related naval programs. These allocations translate to direct revenue opportunities for contractors that supply critical military infrastructure, like Huntington Ingalls.
Despite being the largest military shipbuilder in the United States and a major supplier of aircraft carriers, destroyers, and submarines for the Navy, the company trades at a modest valuation relative to its strategic importance.
In its most recent quarter, Huntington Ingalls secured $11.9 billion in new contract awards, boosting its backlog to a record $56.9 billion. These backlog levels have not been seen since the COVID-19 pandemic and provide a long runway of predictable revenue.
But there's a new factor that could significantly accelerate how that value is realized: AI integration.
How Artificial Intelligence Is Changing the Game
According to management, Huntington Ingalls' AI implementation is set "to accelerate shipbuilding throughout," which translates to faster production cycles, lower costs, and expanded margins.
AI could also shift long-lead government contracts into more immediate earnings drivers. This transformation is a key reason why HII stock is up 48.1% year-to-date and is trading at about 95% of its 52-week high, despite the long timelines typically associated with defense programs.
Analysts May Still Be Behind the Curve
It's understandable that some investors are hesitant to buy a stock near its 52-week high, especially when analysts are slow to raise ratings or targets.
Investors will soon see whether the company meets or beats the Q3 analyst consensus forecast of $3.40 when the report is expected on Oct. 30.
The MarketBeat consensus Q4 earnings per share (EPS) forecast for HII is $4.24, about 10% higher than Q2's reported EPS of $3.86. Notably, the company's Q2 EPS beat the consensus estimate of $3.23 by a wide margin.
This pattern of underestimation suggests that analysts may still be too conservative, especially if AI gains continue to compress production timelines and improve margins. If these trends persist, Huntington Ingalls could see upside EPS revisions in future quarters—a key catalyst for further stock gains.
Institutional investors appear to be positioning for that outcome. In August 2025, Bank of America boosted its stake in Huntington Ingalls by 4%, bringing its total position to $160.9 million, or about 1.7% ownership. That move suggests conviction in HII's long-term trajectory, given a business model that combines national importance with improving financial returns.
Huntington Ingalls: A Strategic Play on Defense and AI
Huntington Ingalls is uniquely positioned at the intersection of national defense urgency and technological transformation. A $57 billion backlog, a proven track record as the Navy's shipbuilder of choice, and AI-driven efficiency gains make the company a rare mix of stability, growth, and upside surprise potential.
For investors who can look beyond short-term noise, HII stock remains a compelling opportunity even at current levels.
