First Hawaiian (FHB) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
First Hawaiian Inc. demonstrates a positive outlook driven by projected increases in net interest income (NII) and fee growth, with guidance indicating a rise to $520 million in net interest earnings for fiscal year 2026, a significant increase from the previous year. The company's earnings per share (EPS) estimates for 2025 through 2027 have been revised upwards to $2.21, $2.31, and $2.40, reflecting confidence in improved operational efficiency and revenue generation. Furthermore, loan growth is anticipated to strengthen in the fourth quarter, supported by robust origination activity, alongside stable fees that exceeded expectations, showcasing the company's resilience.
Bears say
First Hawaiian Inc is facing a negative outlook primarily due to a downward adjustment in projected earnings per share (EPS) for 2026 and 2027, now estimated at $2.23 and $2.31, respectively, resulting from lower net interest income (NII) and increased non-interest expenses (NIE) and loan loss provisions (LLP). Key financial risks include a weakened net interest margin (NIM), challenges related to the balance sheet size and mix, rising credit costs, and concerns surrounding potential mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Additionally, a significant decrease in loans, particularly in commercial and industrial sectors, accompanied by the company guiding for fiscal year 2025 net earnings to fall below the previous forecast, further emphasizes the vulnerabilities impacting its financial stability.
