📋 Highlights
  • Net Income Growth: Q3 net income reached $18.6M ($0.69/share) with adjusted net income at $19.7M ($0.73/share).
  • Balance Sheet Expansion: Deposit growth of $33M brought total deposits to $6.6B, driven by rising noninterest-bearing deposits.
  • Share Repurchase Activity: Repurchased 78,000 shares for $2.3M, leaving $23M remaining under the authorization.
  • Dividend Increase: Fourth-quarter dividend raised by 3.7% to $0.28/share, reflecting confidence in capital returns.
  • Loan Growth Strategy: Mainland-driven Q3 loan growth (industrial/multifamily) expected to balance with Hawaii market contributions in 2026.

Balance Sheet Growth and Capital Management

The company's balance sheet growth strategy continues to focus on deepening customer relationships and increasing market share within its core Hawaii market. Total deposits reached $6.6 billion, with a growth of $33 million during the quarter, and average noninterest-bearing deposits continued to grow. The company repurchased approximately 78,000 shares at a total cost of $2.3 million and has $23 million remaining repurchase authorization. The Board also increased the fourth quarter dividend by 3.7% to $0.28 per share, highlighting the company's commitment to returning capital to shareholders.

Loan Growth and Credit Quality

Loan growth was led by Mainland activity, particularly in the industrial and multifamily sectors, although the company anticipates a more balanced contribution between Mainland and Hawaii markets moving forward. The company's risk appetite is informed by its strategic goal of delivering acceptable risk-adjusted returns while maintaining a high level of solvency. Credit risk is measured and evaluated against expected results and established guidelines and limits, with credit costs staying within an expected range and the level of NPAs, past due loans, and criticized assets remaining low.

Valuation and Outlook

With a Price-to-Tangible Book Value (P/TBV) ratio of approximately 1.33, and a Dividend Yield of 3.69%, the stock appears to be reasonably valued. The company's guidance on deposit growth in 2026 and expectations of increased loan demand, particularly in Hawaii, as rates decline, are positive indicators for future growth. Analysts estimate revenue growth at 5.9% for next year, suggesting a positive outlook for the company's financial performance. As the company continues to execute on its strategies, investing in technology and people to drive efficiencies, it is well-positioned to deliver long-term value for its shareholders.
