Analysts set an average 12-month target of USD 8.25 for Hawaiian Electric Industries stock, according to MarketBeat on October 3, 2026. Four of five covering firms rated the stock sell and one rated it hold, while the target stood 7.20 percent below the USD 8.89 share price cited in that report.

Analysts flag limited upside

The target comparison puts Hawaiian Electric Industries at the center of a cautious valuation debate. Markets Insider reported on September 30, 2026, that Barclays maintained a Hold rating and a USD 9.00 target after cutting its objective from USD 12.00.

On the NYSE, the stock's USD 8.68 to USD 17.38 52-week range shows how far the current valuation sits below its yearly peak. The lower end is only USD 0.43 above the USD 8.25 average target, leaving wildfire liabilities and financing capacity as central issues for the market.

Core earnings remain under pressure

For the second quarter of 2026, revenue reached USD 939.70 million, while quarterly core earnings per share was USD 0.13 against a USD 0.21 consensus estimate, according to MarketBeat's October 3, 2026 report. The revenue figure matched consensus, but the earnings shortfall was USD 0.08 per share.

StockTitan summarized the company filing dated September 8, 2026, showing USD 123.20 million in second-quarter GAAP net income and USD 22.50 million in non-GAAP core net income. Core net income fell from USD 35.40 million in the second quarter of 2025, even as the wildfire settlement accounting benefit lifted reported profit.

Settlement funding shapes the outlook

The same filing described a USD 1.99 billion Maui wildfire settlement obligation, with four planned annual payments of USD 479.00 million from 2026 through 2029. It also reported USD 1.30 billion of consolidated liquidity at June 30, 2026, while the utility planned more than USD 400.00 million of wildfire and resilience spending for 2025 through 2027.

That combination explains the gap between reported profit and core earnings. Investors are weighing a large settlement schedule against regulatory tools, planned securitization and a proposed rate rebasing process that could improve future revenue recovery.
