Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. pays out 32.7% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low payout leaves substantial room to sustain and grow the dividend, backed by a business built around long-term government contracts for nuclear fleet construction, overhaul, and lifecycle support services that generate recurring demand. Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. dividend safety benefits from this contract-driven revenue model, though concentration in U.S. defense spending means any significant shift in government procurement budgets represents the primary pressure point on future payout capacity.
Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 22.0% per year from 2013 to 2025. The per-share annual 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 deceleration from the pace that included a 100.0% jump in 2014.
| 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 prioritize dividend expansion over immediate income, given a yield classified as low (below 2%) at 1.93%. The current yield sits above the 5-year average of 1.75%, so today's entry point offers a modestly better income rate than the historical norm. Twelve consecutive years of dividend increases and a 22.0% CAGR over the 2013-2025 window define this stock's appeal. The trade-off is straightforward: the payout is conservative and the business is anchored in long-term defense contracts, but the yield itself will not satisfy investors who need meaningful current income.
