Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. dividend comes from America's largest military shipbuilder, a company that designs, builds, and maintains nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, submarines, and amphibious assault ships for the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard. The current yield is 1.97%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $5.52 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is August 28, 2026. A beta of 0.225 makes HII stock one of the lower-volatility names in the Industrials sector, which suits investors who prioritize dividend growth over immediate income.
Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. pays out 32.7% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low payout leaves meaningful room to sustain and grow the dividend even if earnings face short-term pressure, and the company's role as a primary builder of nuclear-powered ships and non-nuclear vessels for the U.S. Navy anchors demand in long-cycle government contracts. Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. dividend safety is further supported by the breadth of its Technical Solutions division, which adds recurring revenue from IT, nuclear facility management, and fleet sustainment services. The main pressure point is concentration in U.S. defense spending: any significant shift in Navy procurement budgets would directly affect the revenue base that supports the payout.
Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 22.0% per year from 2013 to 2025. The per-share dividend grew from $0.50 in 2013 to $5.43 in 2025 (2026 is a partial year and excluded from this calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 3.4% in 2025, a notable step down from the pace that defined most of the prior decade.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +4.3% | $4.78 (2022) | $5.43 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +5.1% | $4.23 (2020) | $5.43 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +12.3% | $1.70 (2015) | $5.43 (2025) |
HII stock fits growth-and-income investors who want a rising dividend stream from a defense business with long government contract cycles, and who are willing to accept a low current yield in exchange for that growth rate. At 1.97%, the yield is classified as low (below 2%), though it sits above the 5-year average of 1.79%, meaning the current entry point offers slightly more income than the historical norm. The 32.7% payout ratio means the dividend is not stretched. What an investor gains here is a 12-year streak of consecutive increases and a 22.0% CAGR over the full history window. The trade-off is straightforward: current income is modest, and recent growth has slowed to 3.4% annually.
