Daily Brief Utilities: Hawaiian Electric Inds and more

Key points (machine generated)

• Hawaiian Electric is facing potential bankruptcy due to fire liabilities and the need for expensive investments to fire-harden their assets.
• The estimated fire claims exceed the utility’s worth, with total claims including debt exceeding $4.9-7.4 billion.
• Unless the claims are significantly lower, it is unlikely that there will be any equity value for the utility, and the stock price is expected to be negatively impacted.
