Bank of Hawaii Corp (BOH)

BOH is a very solid company. However I think they are going to be negatively affected by some macro issues in their region. I'm sure they'll pick back up and have great success, so I'm not super bearish, but I do think this will head back down towards $28-30, due to anemic earnings.

Bank of Hawaii is very solvent, the dividend is safe and they have declined the TARP program. This is a well run regional bank that will survive this mess and come out stronger.

If you're bold enough (crazy enough?) to get back into the market right now, regional banks is arguably a good sector to dive into. I'd continue to avoid the major banks like the plague though.
Well run regionals should be some of the first companies to begin to prosper, before the general economy turns even. BOH is one of the top regionals on my list. Very good debt to equity ratio, nice yield, nice PE, well positioned in its market, no hint of some of the mismanagement that has taken down the majors. From all appearances, a well run bank.
BOH should be able to tap into the cheap government money (at close to zero percent) and name their rate in return . . . 6, 7, 8, 9%, whatever. BOH should flat out kill it.
I'm still on the sidelines for now, but when I'm in, I'm going long on BOH.

great bank in a great area unfairly beat up, div, at under 38 this stock is a steal and collect a div while you wait for appreciation

All good pitches below, also.. Income remains unaffected by economic downturn. In fact, their revenue has continued to grow. Relatively little debt to speak of which will put them in a position to outpace other financial stocks when economy recovers. Stockscouter is 8, PE at 10. Currently seeing established bullish pennent on chart.

Everybody hates banks. I even hate banks. BOH is really a doughnut shop (heavy on the dough). Hawaii has avoided the meltdown thus far. BOH didn't die so it must be getting stronger (so I'm either Niche or just Itchy - we'll find out).

Banks recommended as "solid" fundamentally.

Underrated Bank stock.

When I lived in Hawaii I didn't open an acount with them due to their very tight standards ( long hold on checks ect.) It's therefore no surprise to me to hear that they have kept their nose pretty much clean. 3.1% dividend yield with 43% payout ratio looks nice.

Hawaii is giving HUGE tax breaks to businesses that re locate. Good business lending will increase, as well as positive real estate demand. Theres only so much space there!

Solid, cheap, nice div.
