NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Oct. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HII (NYSE: HII) announced today the appointment of Renee Swan to executive vice president and chief human resources officer (CHRO), effective Dec. 7, 2026. Swan comes to HII from Nashville-based Atmus Filtration Technologies (NYSE: ATMU), where she served as senior vice president and chief people officer.

Huntington Ingalls Industries NYSE: HII reported record third-quarter 2026 revenue of approximately $3.5 billion, up 10.8% from a year earlier, as growth at its Newport News and Ingalls shipyards drove higher shipbuilding sales. Diluted earnings per share rose to $5.48 from $3.68 in the prior-year quarter, while net earnings increased to $217 million from $145 million.

Although the revenue and EPS for Huntington Ingalls (HII) give a sense of how its business performed in the quarter ended September 2026, it might be worth considering how some key metrics compare with Wall Street estimates and the year-ago numbers.

Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. remains a Hold as improved margins and contract mix are offset by limited growth prospects and political headwinds. Q3 showcased 180 bps margin expansion to 7.4%, driven by legacy contract roll-off and operational improvements, especially at Newport News Shipbuilding. HII's revenue base is highly secure, with 90% of shipbuilding revenue covered by contracts, but growth is capped by defense spending constraints and DC gridlock.
