Shares of banking companies are trading higher amid overall market strength following Fed Chair Powell's comments about the economy and future rate cuts.

It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Bank of Hawaii (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/boh#NYSE">BOH</a>). Shares have lost about 6.3% in that time frame, underperforming the S&amp;P 500.
Will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Bank of Hawaii due for a breakout? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let&#39;s take a quick look at its most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts.
<h3>Bank of Hawaii Q2 Earnings Top Estimates, Expenses Up</h3>
Bank of Hawaii reported second-quarter 2024 adjusted earnings per share of 86 cents, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 85 cents. The bottom line compared unfavorably with $1.12 earned in the year-ago quarter.
The company&#39;s quarterly results benefited from an increase in NIM, driven by higher earnings asset yields. Also, lower provision acted as a tailwind. A decline in NII, along with a drop in loans and deposit balances and higher expenses, were undermining factors.
The company&#39;s net income (GAAP basis) came in at $34.1 million, down 26% year over year. Our estimate for the metric was pegged at $35.2 million.
<h3>Revenues Decrease, Expenses Increase</h3>
The total revenues fell 6.4% year over year to $156.9 million in the second quarter. The top line also missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $157 million.
NII was $114.8 million, down 7.6% year over year, primarily due to increased funding costs, partially offset by higher earning asset yields. NIM increased 4 basis points to 2.15%.
Non-interest income came in at $42.1 million, down 2.7% year over year. This included $1.5 million from the sale of a low-income housing tax credit investment. Adjusted for this item, the metric inched up 0.9% year over year.
Non-interest expenses increased 5% to $109.2 million. It included an industry-wide FDIC Special Assessment of $2.6 million and separation expenses of $0.8 million. Adjusted for these items, the metric for the second quarter was $105.9 million, up 1.8% from adjusted non-interest expenses recorded in the year-ago quarter.
The efficiency ratio was 69.60%, up from 62.07% recorded in the year-ago period. A rise in the efficiency ratio reflects lower profitability.
As of Jun 30, 2024, total loans and leases balance declined marginally from the previous quarter&#39;s end to $13.8 billion. Total deposits moved down 1.3% sequentially to $20.4 billion.
<h3>Credit Quality: Mixed Bag</h3>
As of Jun 30, 2024, non-performing assets were $15.2 million, up 32.3% year over year.&nbsp; Net loans and lease charge-offs were $3.4 million, up $2 million from the year-ago quarter&#39;s level.
Provision for credit losses was $2.4 million, down 4% from the year-ago quarter&#39;s tally.&nbsp; The allowance for credit losses inched up 1.5% to $147.5 million.
<h3>Capital Ratios Improve</h3>
As of Jun 30, 2024, the Tier 1 capital ratio was 13.99%, up from 12.21% as of Jun 30, 2023. The total capital ratio was 15.05%, which rose from 13.24% in the year-ago period. The ratio of tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets was 8.82%, which increased from 7.97% at the end of the year-ago quarter.
<h3>Profitability Ratios Deteriorate</h3>
Return on average assets was 0.59% at the end of second-quarter 2024, which declined from 0.77% reported in the prior-year quarter. Return on average shareholders&#39; equity was 9.53%, down from 13.55% as of Jun 30, 2023.
<h3>Outlook</h3>
Third-Quarter 2024
NIM is projected to remain flat or increase marginally from 2.15% in the second quarter of 2024.
Full-year 2024
Management expects core non-interest income to increase marginally in the second half of the year as market conditions improve.
The company expects expenses to be 1-2% higher than normalized expenses of $419 million in 2023, primarily due to inflationary pressures and annual merit increases.
The tax rate is anticipated to be 24.5%.
<h2>How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?</h2>
It turns out, estimates review have trended downward during the past month.
<h2>VGM Scores</h2>
At this time, Bank of Hawaii has a poor Growth Score of F, however its Momentum Score is doing a lot better with a B. However, the stock was allocated a grade of D on the value side, putting it in the bottom 40% for this investment strategy.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of F. If you aren&#39;t focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.

Why Is Bank of Hawaii Down 6.3% Since Last Earnings Report?

Bank of Hawaii Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BOH#NYSE">BOH</a>) shares are down on Monday, after the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39908539/bank-of-hawaii-analysts-boost-their-forecasts-after-q2-earnings">its second-quarter earnings</a>.
The stock outperformed the industry in recent weeks, while its profitability lags that of peers, according to Piper Sandler.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5df0ff1fbffdfc0001d6c16c/andrew-liesch">Analyst Andrew Liesch</a> downgraded the rating for Bank of Hawaii from Neutral to Underweight, while lowering the price target from $70 to $61.
The Bank of Hawaii Thesis: While the bank's net interest income and margins should improve "as earning assets reprice higher," much of that benefit is likely to be offset by higher preferred dividends following the $165 million offering in late June, Liesch said in the downgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
"As such, we think earnings growth could be challenging in the quarters ahead," he added. &nbsp;
Over the past three months, Bank of Hawaii's shares have gained 11%, while the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>) rose by around 5% over the same period, the analyst stated. The bank's shares are currently trading at a "significant premium valuation compared to regional bank peers," he added.
"Of note, Bank of Hawaii has the highest cost of deposits among the largest HI-based banks at 1.81%, but that provides it more opportunity to reduce rates than peers, which would serve it well in a Fed rate cutting regime," Liesch further wrote.
BOH Price Action: Shares of Bank of Hawaii had declined by 2.69% to $64.03 at the time of publication on Monday.

Unveiling 5 Analyst Insights On Bank of Hawaii

Jefferies analyst Ken Usdin maintains Bank of Hawaii (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BOH#NYSE">BOH</a>) with a Hold and raises the price target from $53 to $54.

Jefferies Maintains Hold on Bank of Hawaii, Raises Price Target to $54

<h3>Why Bet Against Banks Now?</h3>
Two main reasons. First, the Federal Reserve&rsquo;s new, post Silicon Valley Bank collapse assistance program,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/financial-stability/bank-term-funding-program.htm" rel="">The Bank Term Funding Program</a>&nbsp;(BTFP), has expired. And second, the Fed&rsquo;s first rate cut&mdash;initially expected in the first quarter of this year&mdash;has been pushed off indefinitely due to persistent inflation. So banks still have to compete for depositors with higher yielding money market funds.
<h3>A Simpler And Cheaper Approach</h3>
Last year around this time, I used a banking expert&rsquo;s approach to try to figure out which regional banks were most likely to go bust. I made money betting against Bank of Hawaii Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/boh#NYSE">BOH</a>) and First Foundation, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ffwm#NYSE">FFWM</a>), and added more bearish positions after the crashes of PacWest Bancorp (now Banc of California) (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pacw#NASDAQ">PACW</a>) and Western Alliance Bancorporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wal#NYSE">WAL</a>),&nbsp;
<blockquote>Betting Against More Regional Banks &#127974; In the wake of the <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24PACW&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$PACW</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24WAL&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$WAL</a> crashes, And after exiting bets against <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24BOH&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$BOH</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24FFWM&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$FFWM</a> for gains of 80% and 200%, respectively. <a href="https://t.co/IVYBvKF31s">https://t.co/IVYBvKF31s</a> <a href="https://t.co/UCdAoq8Kfv">pic.twitter.com/UCdAoq8Kfv</a>

&nbsp;
I was going to pay the same analyst I used to update the spreadsheet we came up with with the latest data, but before doing so, I looked at the half dozen or so names that were ranked as the &ldquo;worst&rdquo; banks according to the banking expert&rsquo;s methodology, and checked how their share prices did over the last 12 months.
A couple had gone bust, but those were ones that were already in obvious trouble when we put the spreadsheet together. The others were all up significantly over the last 12 months. Apparently, they hadn&rsquo;t exhausted the BTFP after all.
So here&rsquo;s what I did instead. I went to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.chartmill.com/stock/stock-screener?f=m_opts,sl_he_X_2,sl_ta_X_4,sl_pio_X_2,exch_us,gics_165&amp;a=221937" rel="">Chartmill</a>&nbsp;and ran this screen:
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Industry_Classification_Standard" rel="">GICS</a>: Financial.
</li>
<li>
Has options
</li>
<li>
U.S. only.
</li>
<li>
Health Rating: &lt; 2 (on a scale from 0-10).
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://www.oldschoolvalue.com/investment-tools/piotroski-f-score-screening-early-often/" rel="">Piotroski F-Score</a>: 2 or less (on a scale from 0-9).
</li>
<li>
Technical Rating: 4 or less (on a scale of 0-10).
</li>
</ul>
Then I did a bit of research on the names that came up, to see if there were any potential bullish indicators on these banks that the screens missed.
<h3>An Ill-Fated Insider Purchase</h3>
There was a $25k insider purchase on one of these banks in March, but:
<ul>
<li>
The shares are down ~28% since then.
</li>
<li>
And the bank missed its earnings in April.
</li>
</ul>
So this insider doesn&rsquo;t appear to know much. And we&rsquo;ve got two banks that look like real dogs for us to bet against.

Time To Bet Against Bad Banks--Now That The Bank Term Funding Program Has Expired And Fed Rate Cuts Are On Hold

Bank of Hawaii Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BOH#NYSE">BOH</a>) reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/earnings-misses/24/04/38356895/bank-of-hawaii-q1-earnings-and-revenues-miss-estimates">disappointing revenues and earnings for the first quarter</a>.
Here are some key analyst takeaways from the most recent first-quarter earnings report:
<ul>
<li>Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods analyst Kelly Motta reiterated an Underperform rating, while raising the price target from $55 to $58.</li>
<li>Piper Sandler analyst Andrew Liesch maintained a Neutral rating, while cutting the price target from $65 to $60.</li>
</ul>
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods: Bank of Hawaii missed its NII (net interest income) margin guidance for the first quarter (Q1). 
It contracted sequentially by 2 basis points (bps) amid "a higher-for-longer environment," Motta said. That the contraction came against the guidance of an expansion of 2 to 4 bps.
"Softer NII was offset by well-controlled expenses and strength in fees to drive a PPNR beat, and asset quality remains among the best in the group," the analyst wrote. "Management continues to evaluate expenses, which they now project to grow 1-2% in 2024E (BETTER than 2-2.5% previously).&#8221;
Piper Sandler: Although Bank of Hawaii's net interest margin contracted by 2bps to 2.11%, missing expectations, "we think the margin is nearing a bottom," Liesch said. While management indicated that deposit costs were rising by around 11 bps per month through most 2023, "this trend has slowed to roughly 2 bps/month since last November," he added.
"Of note, Bank of Hawaii has $3.0 billion of cash flows from maturing loans and securities annually that it can redeploy into higher yielding assets, and this dynamic is expected to generate approximately $5 million of additional interest income per quarter, all else equal," the analyst further wrote.
BOH Price Action: Shares of Bank of Hawaii had risen by 0.15% to $58.50 at the time of publication on Tuesday.
