Key risks (from latest filing)
["Heavy dependence on U.S. Department of Defense funding and appropriations; budget constraints or policy changes could reduce contract awards and revenue.","Long contract development cycles and complex nuclear propulsion systems create execution risk, cost overruns, and schedule delays that can impact profitability.","Consolidation and limited competition in defense shipbuilding constrains market expansion, with HII as sole builder of certain ship classes and subject to regulatory scrutiny."]
