First Hawaiian (FHB) Stock Forecast & Price Target
First Hawaiian (FHB) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
First Hawaiian Inc. is projected to see significant increases in earnings, with estimated earnings per share (EPS) rising to $2.21, $2.31, and $2.40 for 2025 through 2027, reflecting an improvement driven by higher net interest income (NII) and better fee structures. The company's guidance for fiscal year 2026 indicates a revenue increase to $520 million, attributed to a 4% growth in net interest earnings (NIE) and a strong performance in fees, which are expected to reach $220 million. Although the efficiency ratio is anticipated to increase to 57.5% in FY26, the overall financial stability and potential for loan growth highlight a favorable outlook for First Hawaiian's stock.
Bears say
The financial outlook for First Hawaiian Inc has been negatively revised, with estimated earnings per share for 2026 and 2027 lowered to $2.23 and $2.31, reflecting anticipated reductions in net interest income and fees alongside rising non-interest expenses and loan loss provisions. Key financial metrics indicate a persistent challenge, with a decline in loans of 6% on a last quarter annualized basis primarily due to significant reductions in commercial and industrial lending, particularly in dealer flooring balances. Additionally, expectations for net earnings in fiscal year 2025 are now projected to fall short of previous forecasts, highlighting ongoing difficulties in maintaining a favorable balance sheet and net interest margin against a backdrop of increasing credit costs and the complexities of execution in potential mergers and acquisitions.
