HONOLULU, Jan. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Hawaiian, Inc. (NASDAQ: FHB) announced today that it plans to release its fourth quarter 2025 financial results on Friday, January 30, 2026 before the market opens. First Hawaiian will host a conference call to discuss the company's results on the same day at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time (8:00 a.m. Hawaii Time).

First Hawaiian (FHB) has an impressive earnings surprise history and currently possesses the right combination of the two key ingredients for a likely beat in its next quarterly report.

Like many banks, cheaper funding, fixed-rate asset repricing, and favorable credit quality trends have been good for First Hawaiian's earnings recently. While those dynamics should fuel another good year for the industry in 2026, FHB is arguably less well-placed to benefit. Still, there are good reasons to own FHB, including an improved capital position that is supporting a relatively high payout ratio.

The S&P 600 Small/MidCap index offers high-yield dividend opportunities, with 33 out of 53 top-yielding stocks meeting both the 'safer' and IDEAL dividend Dogcatcher criteria. Top ten S&P600 dividend 'dogs' are projected to deliver 24% to 93% net gains by November 2026, based on analyst targets and current yields. Stocks like KNTK, SM, CRGY, and DEI stand out for strong total return potential, but investors should beware of negative free cash flow in some high-yield picks.

FHB, OPBK and JXN made it to the Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) income stocks list on November 19, 2025.

First Hawaiian (FHB) posted Q3 2025 earnings ahead of expectations, but the stock remains down 3.6% year-to-date. FHB offers a 4.2% dividend yield, yet lacks dividend growth and faces declining loan balances and limited geographic reach. The bank's efficiency and asset quality are improving, but net interest margin lags peers and risks from Hawaii's economy persist.

First Hawaiian Inc (NASDAQ:FHB) reported better-than-expected results for the third quarter on Friday.

Q3 results showed revenue and margin growth, with net interest income rising and deposits expanding, though total loans dipped slightly from the prior quarter. FHB's efficiency ratio improved, but return metrics softened marginally due to lower loan balances; asset quality showed only slight deterioration, still within normal variance.
