Huntington Ingalls’ first quarter results reflected a mix of operational progress and ongoing challenges across its shipbuilding and defense technology segments. Management attributed the modest year-on-year sales decline primarily to lower volumes at Newport News and Ingalls Shipbuilding, along with the normalization following nonrecurring sales in the prior year. CEO Chris Kastner emphasized that atypical weather impacted Newport News schedules, while ongoing supply chain delays—especially late-arriving equipment for CVN 80—limited productivity. Despite these headwinds, the company improved segment operating income, driven by stronger performance in Mission Technologies’ cyber and uncrewed systems, and maintained stable operating margins. Kastner highlighted, “We made progress against our goal of improving shipbuilding throughput by 20% year-over-year,” pointing to hiring more experienced labor and successful outsourcing as key contributors.

While products like Nexplanon and Vtama showed growth, overall results reflected headwinds across legacy brands and regional markets.

Granite Construction’s first quarter saw revenue growth fall short of Wall Street expectations, but management attributed the performance to strong execution in its project portfolio and improvements in its Materials segment.

Operational improvements, including the completion of drydock upgrades on a significant portion of the fleet, also contributed to the company’s ability to maintain vessel efficiency and reduce repositioning costs.

Eli Lilly’s first quarter saw rapid revenue growth, but the market responded negatively due to profit shortfalls and emerging competitive pressures. Management credited the surge in sales to the continued success of its diabetes and obesity medicines, particularly Mounjaro and Zepbound, which now account for a significant portion of total revenue. However, executives also acknowledged that higher marketing and R&D spending, as well as elevated costs tied to launching new products and acquiring late-stage assets, weighed on profitability. CEO Dave Ricks noted that the company is facing “a lot of investor focus right now on tariffs and trade,” while CFO Lucas Montarce cited a “26% increase in marketing, selling and administrative expenses” as Lilly ramped up promotion for new launches.

Hershey's first quarter results drew a negative market reaction, reflecting a combination of ongoing consumer weakness and cost pressures highlighted during the earnings call.

CEO Michele Buck noted, “January and February were the worst months,” with some improvement seen later in the quarter, driven by enhanced promotional activity and shelf placement. Additionally, CFO Steve Voskuil cited significant operating margin compression, largely due to increased raw material costs, notably elevated cocoa prices, and higher selling, general, and administrative expenses as the company lapped a period of lower marketing spend last year.

The company also reaffirmed its annual comparable sales growth target of up to 1.5% and earnings per share forecast of between $22.65 and $23.20.
