What the filing says
HEI reported Q2 2026 GAAP net income of $123M ($0.71/share) vs. $26M ($0.15/share) in Q2 2025. The increase was driven by a $101M after-tax non-cash gain from remeasuring the Maui wildfire settlement liability from $1.44B to $1.30B to present value. Core net income (excluding wildfire items and Pacific Current review costs) fell to $22M ($0.13/share) from $35M ($0.20/share) YoY, reflecting higher O&M and interest expenses. Hawaiian Electric submitted a major energy solicitation in July seeking 1,650 GWh renewable energy, 465 MW grid-forming resources, and 111 MW firm capacity. WMP recovery plan approved by PUC; S&P upgraded ratings. First wildfire settlement payment of ~$140M made in April 2026.
Why this rating
One-time $101M settlement remeasurement inflates Q2 but masks deteriorating core earnings (-37% YoY). Wildfire liability remains $1.3B; future accretion will offset gains. Large energy RFP positive for modernization but uncertain outcome. Meaningful refinancing/securitization headwinds ahead on $1.8B market cap.
