What the company does

Huntington Ingalls is the American navy's shipyard: the United States' only builder of nuclear aircraft carriers and one of its two submarine builders. It constructs the most complex vessels ever made, with the Pentagon as sole customer and decades of orders ahead.

What will shape its future

  • The American naval budget, armored by rivalry with China.
  • Shipyard labor: hiring and keeping welders is its real bottleneck.
  • Execution: every carrier delay or overrun is measured in billions.
