Hawaii-based American Savings Bank has filed for an initial public offering (IPO), according to a Monday (Aug. 24) press release. The bank's registration statement has been filed with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), though the number of shares to be offered and the price range have not been disclosed. American Savings Bank plans to list its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol "ASBH."
The IPO application process is contingent upon market conditions, and there is no assurance regarding the completion of the offering or its size and terms. American Savings Bank operates 35 branches and over 120 ATMs in Hawaii, serving consumers, businesses, and communities. The bank was valued at $450 million in December 2024 when Hawaii Electric Industries (HEI) sold 90.1% of its common stock to independent investors for $405 million.
The sale by HEI came after the 2023 Maui wildfires, allowing the company to refocus on utility operations and strengthen its financial position. HEI President and CEO Scott Seu stated that the proceeds from the sale would be used to reduce debt and support various utility initiatives. In a separate IPO, Brazilian FinTech PicPay raised $434 million in January 2024 and was valued at $2.5 billion.
