The shares of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (NYSE:HE) plummeted after the Maui wildfires that killed no fewer than 114 people -- the fifth-deadliest wildland fire in U.S. history -- broke out in early August. While HE rallied on Friday after filing a report with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), it was last seen down 4.7% to trade at $13.12, carrying a hefty 68.4% year-to-date deficit after hitting an Aug. 17, record low of $10.05.
