Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (HE): score, valuation & FAQ

Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (HE) is a Utilities - Regulated Electric company that scores 48.4 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a below-average reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are P/S (A), while PEG (D) and FCF (F) rate weaker.

Is HE a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings scores HE 48.4 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a below-average reading. That is driven by P/S (A). A score is a quantitative screen of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

Why does HE score 48.4 on Bull Rankings?

The score leans on value at 77.3 out of 100, with growth the weakest pillar at 33.5 — the three combine geometrically, so a weak one cannot be papered over by a strong one. HE earns its highest marks on P/S (A), and is held back by PEG (D) and FCF (F). Each signal is graded against sector-aware thresholds rather than one absolute bar, so HE is measured against Utilities - Regulated Electric peers, not against the market as a whole.

Is HE overvalued or undervalued?

We don't compute a reliable discounted-cash-flow value for HE — typically because it is not yet consistently profitable or free-cash-flow positive — so its valuation rests on growth and price-to-sales rather than on earnings-based intrinsic value. Judge it on the trajectory of the business, not a single multiple.

What are the main risks of investing in HE?

Free cash flow is negative (-$566m) — capital raises or debt issuance likely required; dilution / leverage risk. Down 50% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up.
