Upturn Advisory & Investor View for BOH

11/09/2026: BOH (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Bank of Hawaii Corporation is a stable, mature regional bank that holds a strong, entrenched market position across Hawaii and the Pacific islands. Its primary business strength lies in a deep-rooted brand presence and a loyal, low-cost core deposit base. The company's investment story centers on sustainable income generation and disciplined risk management, making it well-suited for dividend and value-oriented investors. However, risks remain regarding its geographic concentration and sensitivity to local economic cycles and shifting interest rates. Prospective investors should monitor the firm's progress in digital modernization and its ability to maintain margins against increasing digital banking competition.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
BOH receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid unit economics, solid company fundamentals, and solid quantitative characteristics. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
BOH has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+37.3%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 17.4%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+3.1%), modest insider ownership of 1.94%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
BOH's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (17.4% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is BOH's strongest growth driver at +37.3% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (+3.1%, moderate) and free-cash-flow growth (+9.2%, moderate) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 85.9% and approximately 98.6% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 1.94% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 14.73%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 6.47%
State Street Corp 6.15%
Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management LLC 4.68%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.54%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
BOH generates approximately $659 of gross profit, $247 of operating income, and $174 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong margins and solid cash conversion support the rating, although capital efficiency remains solid.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 21.41%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
BOH has a high-quality, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
