Moody's Investors Service affirmed its "B-" bank financial strength rating for First Hawaiian Bank with a stable outlook.

"The affirmation of First Hawaiian Bank's BFSR and stable outlook was based on its above-average capital levels and earnings performance, as well as pristine asset quality metrics," Moody's said in a press statement.

First Hawaiian's "profitability and capital generation are supported by its leading market position in Hawai'i and ample core funding."
