It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Hawaiian Electric (HE). Shares have lost about 12.2% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500.
Will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is HEI due for a breakout? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at its most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts.
Hawaiian Electric Q4 Earnings Improve, Revenues Fall Y/Y
Hawaiian Electric reported earnings per share (EPS) of 61 cents for the fourth quarter of 2019, which improved 35.6% from 45 cents in the prior-year quarter.
The year-over-year upside can be attributed to higher noninterest income, largely related to the sales of former properties.

Total Revenues
Hawaiian Electric’s total revenues of $726 million in the fourth quarter declined 4.7% year over year. The decline was due to lower contributions from both the Electric Utility and Bank segments.

Operating Statistics
Total expenses decreased 7.7% year over year to $625.2 million during the fourth quarter.
