First Hawaiian (FHB) Stock Forecast & Price Target
First Hawaiian (FHB) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
First Hawaiian Inc. demonstrates a positive outlook supported by projected financial growth, as the company anticipates a 4% increase in net interest earnings (NIE) to $520 million in fiscal year 2026, up from 0.4% in fiscal year 2025. The firm has also revised its earnings per share (EPS) estimates for 2025-2027 upwards, reflecting expected improvements in net interest income (NII), enhanced fee income, and reduced NIE. Additionally, despite a stable efficiency ratio that may rise slightly, the firm is witnessing positive loan origination trends, which are expected to stimulate growth in both commercial and retail sectors.
Bears say
First Hawaiian Inc. has lowered its expected earnings per share for 2026 and 2027 to $2.23 and $2.31 respectively, citing decreases in net interest income and fees alongside increases in non-interest expenses and loan loss provisions. The risks associated with the bank's balance sheet size and composition, weakening net interest margins, rising credit costs, and challenges in mergers and acquisitions are significant contributors to the negative outlook. Additionally, the recent decline in loans—particularly commercial and industrial lending—has been a point of concern, with a reported drop of 6% quarter-over-quarter, which diverges from market expectations of growth.
