Ex VP & Chief HR Officer Edmond E. Jr. Hughes sold 3,500 shares of HII at $319.58 for $1,118,533.50
Edmond E. Jr. Hughes, former VP and Chief HR Officer, sold 3,500 shares at $319.58 on 2026-05-28, reducing his holdings by 29.4% from 11,891 to 8,391 shares. The sale occurred at a price significantly above the current market level of $297.68, though the stock has declined 35.3% from its 52-week high of $460.00 and is down 28.4% over the 90-day period. HII remains a substantive position ($11.7B market cap) with solid fundamentals ($3.1B quarterly revenue, $149.0M net income, +8.2% annual growth), though the recent price pressure and the magnitude of the holding reduction merit attention to whether this reflects selective liquidity management or broader management outlook shifts.
Director Donald Kirkland H purchases 575 HII shares at $173.62; stock down 40.8% from 52-week high
Director Donald Kirkland H purchased 575 shares of Huntington Ingalls Industries at $173.62 on 2025-02-27, establishing an initial position. The stock has declined materially since the transaction: current price of $175.58 reflects a 30-day decline of -9.0% and a 90-day decline of -11.3%, with the stock trading 40.8% below its 52-week high of $296.43. HII's fundamentals show modest underlying momentum, with annual revenue growth of +0.7%, but the stock's sharp pullback from prior highs and negative near-term price action merit attention to whether broader market conditions or company-specific headwinds are driving the valuation reset. As a director's first accumulated position, this transaction establishes a baseline for monitoring future director activity and conviction at current valuations.
Director Welch buys 1,000 HII shares at $174.92; cluster pattern with 2 other insiders buying in past 14 days
Director John K Welch purchased 1,000 shares at $174.92 on 2025-02-26, increasing his holdings by 64.7% from 1,545 to 2,545 shares. This transaction is part of a cluster pattern in which 2 other insiders also purchased shares within the past 14 days. The stock has declined -11.0% over the past 30 days and -11.9% over 90 days, trading at $174.28 and down -41.2% from its 52-week high of $296.43. HII trades at a P/E of 11.96 with recent quarterly net income of $101,000,000 and annual revenue growth of only +0.7%. The synchronized buying among multiple insiders during a period of sustained price weakness warrants attention as a potential signal of insider perspective on valuation.
Director Thomas C. Schievelbein purchases 2,120 shares of HII at $164.82 as stock trades 45.6% below 52-week high.
Director Schievelbein purchased 2,120 shares at $164.82 on 2025-02-13, increasing his holdings by 36.3% from 5,847 to 7,967 shares. The purchase occurred while HII trades at $161.27, down 45.6% from its 52-week high of $296.43 and down 18.8% over the past 30 days. The company is trading at a P/E of 11.07 with $2.7B in quarterly revenue and $101.0M net income, suggesting modest valuation metrics. The director's accumulation in a period of significant price decline from recent highs is factually observable, though the stock has also declined 16.7% over 90 days and remains near the lower end of its 52-week range.
Director Frank R Jimenez purchases 550 HII shares at $188.91; stock down 34.8% from 52-week high and -25.2% in 30 days
Director Frank R Jimenez purchased 550 shares of HII at $188.91 on 2024-11-05, establishing an initial position after holding 0 shares previously. The purchase occurred as the stock is -34.8% from its 52-week high and has declined 25.2% in the past 30 days, a backdrop of significant recent weakness. Jimenez's cross-ticker insider track record shows 1 prior buy with a 90-day win rate of 100% and an average 90-day return of +8.0%, though this measure covers his trading history across multiple tickers and does not speak to HII-specific outcomes. The company itself shows fundamental stability with a P/E of 10.79, $2.7B quarterly revenue, and 7.3% annual revenue growth, suggesting the stock may be attractive on valuation grounds relative to earnings; whether the recent price decline reflects market consensus on fair value or an opportunity remains context-dependent for investors.
