HII has raised its quarterly cash dividend to $1.41 per share, up $0.03 from the $1.38 paid in each of the previous four quarters. The board declaration was announced on 21 October 2026.
The increase is about 2.17% for this quarterly payment. The calculation is $0.03 divided by $1.38, multiplied by 100; it is not a dividend yield or a share-price return.

What changes for shareholders
The new declaration increases the amount per eligible share for this payment. It does not establish a guaranteed future annual income: a quarterly declaration and an annualized assumption are different things.
A holder with 100 eligible shares would have a declared gross amount of $141 for this payment, compared with $138 at the previous quarterly rate. That $3 arithmetic difference is before any applicable deductions or processing effects; it is not an assessment of the holder’s total investment performance.
Dates still need the right labels
The record date and the payment date should be checked separately. The issuer announcement does not provide an ex-dividend date, so this report does not translate 27 November into a buying or settlement deadline.
For another example of a cash-dividend timetable, see CapKet’s ONEOK report. This article reports the financial distribution only and makes no assumption about HII’s stock reaction.
The SEC’s Investor.gov explanation of dividend dates distinguishes the shareholder record date from an exchange-set ex-dividend date. That general guidance does not establish HII’s specific ex-date; the issuer declaration remains the source for the amount and payment timetable. Guidance observed at 2026-10-22T06:24:12.878Z.
