A&B’s drop reflects news about its Alexander Dam on Kauai getting “red-flagged” by state inspectors. It’s not in any immediate danger of falling, but inspectors noted a couple recent landslides in the area. And that’s not good, considering that a similar—read: earthen, old and un-inspected—collapsed a couple weeks ago on Kauai and killed seven people. And Hawaiian Telcom rises on news that even though they’re a privately owned company—privately owned by none other than the ultra-rich Carlyle Group—they’re releasing their annual financial earnings. If they’re good, Carlyle may actually let Hawaiian Telcom go public. Woohoo! MTW
