Huntington Ingalls Industries is the largest independent military shipbuilder in the US, spun off of Northrop Grumman in 2011. It operates three segments, two of which are storied shipyards: Ingalls produces non-nuclear-powered ships including amphibious landing ships and Arleigh Burke-class destroyers while Newport News produces nuclear-powered ships as the only producer of Gerald Ford-class aircraft carriers and a major subcontractor on Virginia and Columbia-class nuclear submarines. Huntington Ingalls shares production of destroyers and nuclear submarines with General Dynamics' Bath Iron Works and Electric Boat shipyards, respectively.

The company recently reported that it has 714 thousand shares sold short, which is 2.1% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Huntington Ingalls Indus has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Huntington Ingalls Indus's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Huntington Ingalls Indus's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.94%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil futures, closely followed by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), surged 3.6% to close at $79.60 per barrel on Monday amid rising tensions <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/middle-east">in the Middle East. </a>
This marked the fifth consecutive day of gains and the second-strongest one-day surge year-to-date as the prospect of a war between Israel and Iran has stoked fears of significant disruptions to global oil supplies.
The tensions have been exacerbated by reports that Iran, along with its Lebanese proxy Hezbollah, is considering retaliatory action against Israel following the death of Ismail Haniyeh, a top Hamas leader, in Tehran on July 31.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">US Military Moves To Reinforce Middle East Presence</h3>
In response to the rising risk of a broader regional conflict, the Pentagon has significantly ramped up its military presence in the region. On Monday, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2024/08/11/politics/defense-secretary-strike-group-iran/index.html">CNN</a> reported that U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered the deployment of a carrier strike group equipped with F-35 jets and additional forces to deter potential Iranian aggression toward Israel.
On Sunday, the Pentagon disclosed that it had ordered the nuclear-powered submarine USS Georgia, armed with cruise missiles, into Middle Eastern waters. 
The USS Georgia had recently been operating in the Mediterranean Sea, completing training exercises near Italy. The movement of U.S. missile submarines is typically shrouded in secrecy.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Escalating Violence In Gaza</h3>
The situation in Gaza remains dire. On Saturday, Israeli airstrikes targeted a school building in Gaza City, killing hundreds of people, according to Palestinian health authorities.
