September 10, 2026 in numbers
Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc. (ISIN US4464131063, NYSE: HII) ended the September 10, 2026 session at USD 281.98 after opening close to its prior close of USD 280.85, with NYSE data indicating a positive single-day change of 0.4%. Per NYSE closing data, the shares traded within a day range that kept the close between the session low and high and remained consistent with the current 52-week band, although the exact intraday extremes were not highlighted in the available quote overview. The closing level left the stock near the upper portion of its recent trading range and above its ex-dividend reference level recorded in late August. In contrast, the S&P 500 closed lower on September 10, 2026, falling 0.8% according to a broad market wrap from Zacks Investment Research, underscoring the relative resilience of Huntington Ingalls shares during a weak equity session.

As MarketBeat reports, investors of record as of August 28, 2026 are due to receive a quarterly dividend of USD 1.38 per share on September 11, 2026, representing an annualized payout of USD 5.52 and a yield near 2% based on recent prices. The same calendar shows the shares going ex-dividend on August 28, 2026 and the September 11, 2026 payment date, making the confirmed income stream part of the near-term investment backdrop even though no single catalyst dominated price action in the last completed session.
Dividend payment due today

The shares already traded ex-dividend, so the income distribution does not change entitlement today but may shape investor attention around cash returns ahead of the opening bell. In addition, the profile page for Huntington Ingalls at Yahoo Finance lists upcoming corporate events and confirms the company’s established dividend track, while also flagging October 29, 2026 as the next scheduled earnings date, which will come into focus later in the reporting cycle. Marketwide, investors in defense and aerospace names may also watch how the broader indexes behave today after the S&P 500’s 0.8% decline on September 10, 2026, given Huntington Ingalls’ recent tendency to hold up better than the benchmark in a softer equity environment.
