** Stephens initiates coverage of regional lender Bank of Hawaii BOH.N with "overweight" rating and $90 PT, a 12.8% upside to stock's last close
** Brokerage says BOH's leading market share in Hawaii should allow for deposit pricing power with lower rates
** Brokerage adds that BOH's pole position has led to an extremely tenured and loyal deposit base, giving the bank more pricing flexibility as rates decline
** Stephens additionally favors the bank's stable credit quality with low-risk portfolio
** "Wondering where the love is for shares here, specifically as we're now the only buy rating" - Stephens
** One of seven brokerages rate the stock "strong buy", two "hold" and four "sell"; their median PT is $70, according to data compiled by LSEG
** As of last close, BOH shares up 10.1% YTD
