Bank of Hawaii News Roundup

Here are the key news stories impacting Bank of Hawaii this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Zacks raised several near‑term quarterly estimates (Q1–Q4 2026 and multiple 2027 quarters), signaling stronger expected core earnings and margin outlook vs prior forecasts. This supports upside to future reported results and valuation.
• Positive Sentiment: Zacks increased FY2026 EPS to $5.45 from $5.08, a meaningful boost to full‑year guidance that could justify re‑rating the stock if results track.
• Positive Sentiment: Zacks bumped Q4 2027 to $1.55 (from $1.51), and raised Q2 2027 and Q1 2027 estimates (to $1.46 and $1.39 respectively), implying continued multi‑quarter growth expectations.
• Neutral Sentiment: Zacks published an FY2028 projection of $6.27 EPS. That longer‑range figure is bullish if achieved, but is more speculative and farther from near‑term drivers.
• Negative Sentiment: Zacks cut its Q3 2027 estimate to $1.43 from $1.56 — a notable single‑quarter downgrade that introduces timing risk and may prompt some profit‑taking or short‑term caution among investors.
