HII Q2 revenue rose 3.5% to $3.1 billion, but net earnings fell 12% to $152 million
HII reported second quarter 2025 revenue of $3.1 billion, up 3.5% from a year earlier, but net earnings fell to $152 million from $173 million, and diluted EPS fell to $3.86 from $4.38. The company raised its FY25 free cash flow guidance to $500 million to $600 million and reaffirmed its segment revenue and operating margin guidance, so shareholders see higher revenue and cash expectations alongside lower quarterly profit.
