HII jumps on stronger Q3 and upgraded FY26 guidance

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

A solid Q3 beat with higher FY26 guidance typically triggers valuation reratings and price drift. Historically, such results in large-cap defense names spark follow-through but can fade if guidance proves overly optimistic or budgets shift.
