Will Segmental Sales Aid Huntington's (HII) Q2 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. (HII - Free Report) is slated to report its second-quarter 2023 results on Aug 3 before market open.
Huntington Ingalls delivered an earnings surprise of 7.67% in the last reported quarter. Mission Technologies and Newport business segments’ strong revenue performances are expected to have added impetus to HII’s top line.
Ingalls’ Revenue Growth Likely to be Weak
Lower revenues from amphibious assault ships and the Legend-class National Security Cutter program are likely to have weighed down on this segment’s revenue performance in the second quarter. The downside may have been partially offset by higher revenues from surface combatants.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Ingalls’ second-quarter revenues, pegged at $627.8 million, suggests a decline of 4.6% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Newport to Remain Strong
Higher revenues from aircraft carriers and submarines may have contributed to the Newport segment’s revenues in the soon-to-be-reported quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Newport’s second-quarter revenues, pegged at $1,478.6 million, indicates growth of 3.2% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Mission Technologies to Continue Growth Momentum
Higher volumes of mission-based solutions and fleet sustainment are likely to have aided Mission Technologies’ revenue performance in the second quarter of 2023.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Mission Technologies’ second-quarter revenues, pegged at $610.3 million, suggests an increase of 1.7% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Second-Quarter Estimates
Expected growth in Mission Technologies and Newport business segments’ revenues may have boosted the company’s overall top line in the second quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter sales is pegged at $2.73 billion, indicating an increase of 2.4% from the prior-year reported figure.
A strong top line is likely to have contributed to HII’s second-quarter bottom line. However, macroeconomic challenges like higher inflation and supply-chain challenges and a tight labor market may have adversely impacted overall earnings in the second quarter of 2023.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings is pegged at $3.14 per share. This indicates a decline of 29.3% from the prior-year reported figure.
