Huntington Ingalls stock holds near $294 after valuation reset

Huntington Ingalls stock is trading near $294.09 as market cap sits at $11.59 billion and investors weigh a $368.88 consensus target against the latest quarter.

Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. (US4464131063) stock opened at $294.09 on August 31, 2026, with a market cap of $11.59 billion and a 52-week range of $263.62 to $460.00.

The latest market snapshot also shows a 50-day moving average of $296.49 and a 200-day moving average of $344.43, while the consensus price target stands at $368.88.

Valuation remains compressed

The gap between the share price and the 200-day average is still wide, and the 17.53 P/E ratio underlines how much skepticism is already built into the stock. The beta of 0.24 also points to a share that has been moving with less volatility than the broader market.

For investors, the key comparison is simple: the stock trades below both moving averages even though the consensus target is higher than the latest print.

Recent operating backdrop

MarketBeat's latest coverage says Huntington Ingalls had a market cap of $11.59 billion and a consensus rating of Moderate Buy, with the same $368.88 target attached to the name.

Those figures sit alongside a very different trading range, which gives the stock a valuation-and-expectations setup rather than a pure momentum story.

What the business makes

Huntington Ingalls builds and supports nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, amphibious assault ships, and destroyers for the U.S. Navy, which makes the company closely tied to long-cycle defense procurement.

That portfolio is the main reason the share price is usually judged against backlog visibility, margin discipline, and Navy budget trends rather than short-term consumer demand.
