However, we advise all investors to independently investigate First Hawaiian to ensure all accessible information is consistent with the expectations about its upside potential and future expected returns. Understanding different market volatility trends often help investors to time the market. Properly using volatility indicators enable traders to measure First Hawaiian's stock risk against market volatility during both bullying and bearish trends. The higher level of volatility that comes with bear markets can directly impact First Hawaiian's stock price while adding stress to investors as they watch their shares' value plummet. This usually forces investors to rebalance their portfolios by buying different stocks as prices fall.

Whereas other entities within the banks—regional industry are still a little expensive, even after the recent corrections, First Hawaiian may offer a potential longer-term growth to investors. While some in two-three weeks oriented investors may not share our view, we believe it may not be a good time to take up new shares of First.
