14.45USD−0.89% · 1 dayClose 05 Nov 2026

Maui Land & Pineapple manages a land portfolio of roughly 22,300 acres on Maui, which it is gradually turning into residential projects, resort property and commercial space, in a context of housing shortage after the 2023 wildfires. The company reports stable recurring rental revenue but continuing net losses as it invests in development and its agave venture. The key question now is whether land sales in the pipeline will convert into revenue, a process that could take years.

At the close of 05 Nov 2026, Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. (MLP) stock was 14.45 USD (−0.89% on the day), with market capitalisation 287.0 m USD, beta 0.94, 52-week range 13.86–19.92 USD. Latest reported quarter (Q2 2026): revenue of 3.7 m USD (−19.6% YoY), net income of -1.6 m USD, diluted EPS -0.08 USD.

Memo

MAUI LAND & PINEAPPLE CO INC (MLP). Latest full fiscal year: 2025; data up to 2026-06-30.

Figures computed from the financial statements: revenue 19.5 m USD in 2025; YoY growth 68.2%; net margin -28.6%; ROE -16.1%.

The estimated value range is 0.75–2.48 USD per share (median of 1 methods, agreement: single method); assumptions are illustrative. Against the central value of 1.30 USD, the price of 14.45 USD leaves a potential of -91.0% (value / price − 1) and a margin of safety of -1,009.3% (1 − price / value). The range is the median of the methods' low, central and high values, not a probability interval.

Insufficient data for a verdict (indicators available: 4 of at least 6; score weight coverage: 43.5% of at least 60%).

Text generated deterministically from the figures shown; no language model. Not investment advice.

What supports the thesis

No signal among the computed factors. That is not an absence of risk: factors without data were not assessed, and business risks (margins, inventory, demand) are in the source-based analysis.

What contradicts it

  • ROE: -16.1%
  • EBITDA margin: -29.3%
  • Revenue CAGR 3Y: -2.4%
  • P/B: 9.2x
  • The price is above the estimated value range

Not assessed (insufficient data or a ratio without meaning): Net debt / EBITDA, Interest coverage, P/E (TTM), Dividend yield, Payout ratio (EPS).

    In brief

    Maui Land & Pineapple manages a land portfolio of roughly 22,300 acres on Maui, which it is gradually turning into residential projects, resort property and commercial space, in a context of housing shortage after the 2023 wildfires. The company reports stable recurring rental revenue but continuing net losses as it invests in development and its agave venture. The key question now is whether land sales in the pipeline will convert into revenue, a process that could take years.

    SWOT

    Strengths

    • The company holds a large land portfolio on Maui and recurring rental revenue, which provides a stable base for funding development.
    • Commercial properties have high occupancy and a long history in Kapalua, which helps attract quality tenants.
    • The management team has added experts in planning and development, supporting execution of its own projects.

    Weaknesses

    • The company has reported net losses across several consecutive years, and development investment is partly funded through credit.
    • Land sales revenue is irregular and can drop sharply, as happened in the first half of 2026 after the Honokeana project pause.
    • A small workforce and reliance on a few executives may limit the capacity to execute multiple projects at once.

    Opportunities

    • The housing shortage on Maui could turn the company's land into valuable residential projects if approvals advance.
    • Sales of water assets to the county and of non-strategic parcels could release capital for priority projects.
    • The agave venture could become a long-term revenue segment if cultivation and product development succeed.

    Threats

    • Natural disasters, wildfires and storms can damage properties and reduce land values or tourism revenue.
    • Obtaining development approvals is costly and slow, and authorities could modify or halt some projects.
    • Economic conditions and high interest rates could make financing more expensive and reduce demand for luxury property.

    Risks

    • Dependence on a cyclical property markethigh

      Demand for luxury land and housing can fall during periods of economic uncertainty, which could delay sales and force price reductions.

    • Delays in approvals and projectshigh

      If approvals are not obtained on time or cost more than estimated, projects can exceed budget and schedule, and expected revenue may be postponed.

    • Natural disasters and wildfiresmedium

      Fires, storms and other disasters can damage properties and reduce tourism, and insurance may not fully cover the losses.

    • Financing and liquiditymedium

      Net losses and development investment require funding, and tighter credit conditions could limit the company's ability to pursue its plans.

    • Dependence on tourismlow

      The company's businesses depend on visitor numbers to Kapalua and the island, and high travel costs could reduce demand.

    Investment thesis

    What would need to be true (bull case)

    • If the housing shortage on Maui persists, the company's land could generate valuable sales in the coming years, especially from the Kapalua and Hali‘imaile projects.
    • Recurring rental income provides a stable base, and rising occupancy in commercial space could strengthen that base.
    • Sales of non-core assets such as water systems could free capital for higher-potential projects, if the transactions close.

    What would break the thesis

    • Repeated net losses and heavy investment could strain liquidity, especially if land sales are delayed.
    • Sales revenue is irregular and fell in the first half of 2026, which makes short-term results difficult to forecast.
    • Development projects need years of approvals and infrastructure work, and if demand shifts, land values could be affected.

    The business

    Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. is a Delaware corporation and successor to a business organized in 1909 in Hawaii, listed on the NYSE under the ticker MLP. The company owns approximately 22,300 acres of land and 247,000 square feet of commercial property on the island of Maui 1. Its activities are split into three segments: land development and sales, leasing, and the Kapalua Club resort amenities.

    The main development project is the Kapalua Resort, a long-term master-planned resort and residential community in West Maui, with several subprojects at different stages of planning and entitlement. The company expected some of these projects to generate land sales, while planning and approvals can take many years 1. Operations are sensitive to tourism, the local economy and property prices, which are cyclical.

    The company also operates potable and non-potable water systems in West and Upcountry Maui, and manages the Pu‘u Kukui Watershed Preserve for conservation. These assets support lease and water sale revenue, but also long-term stewardship obligations 1. In 2026 the company entered a memorandum of understanding with the County of Maui regarding a potential sale of certain water assets 3.

    Segments

    Land development and sales

    This segment generated about $5.8 million in 2025, or 30% of operating revenues, largely from sales of non-strategic parcels and work on the Honokeana Homes project 1. In the first half of 2026, revenue fell to $0.5 million, mainly because the Honokeana project was paused, though the company reported over $20 million in contracted land sales 23.

    Leasing

    The leasing segment generated $12.8 million in 2025, about 66% of revenue, from commercial, agricultural and industrial leases, trademark licensing and water sales 1. Commercial property occupancy rose to 93% as of June 30, 2026 2. Leasing and land management revenue reached about $6.6 million in the first half of 2026 3.

    Resort amenities

    The Kapalua Club, a private non-equity club, generated $0.8 million in 2025, about 4% of revenue, and depends on the appeal of the Kapalua Resort 1. It is the smallest segment by revenue.

    Market context

    The Maui real estate market is cyclical and depends on interest rates, mainland West Coast real estate markets, the US and Asian economies, currency relationships, natural disasters and tourism trends 1. The housing shortage on the island deepened after the Lahaina wildfires, which destroyed over 2,000 homes and more than 3,000 jobs 1. If these conditions persist, demand for land and housing could stay elevated, though the pace of tourism recovery remains uncertain 1.

    The commercial leasing market is also tied to the economic recovery after the wildfires, and the company says commercial property cash flow could stabilize in coming years if the Maui market keeps recovering 2. Demand for commercial space remains supported by constrained supply, which could support occupancy 2.

    Trends

    • Housing shortage on Mauitailwind

      After the 2023 wildfires the need for housing on the island became urgent, and the company's land could become relevant for development if entitlements move quickly 1. The entitlement process nonetheless remains long and costly.

    • Tourism recovery after the wildfiresmixed

      The company says commercial activity and tourism have not returned to historic levels, and this continues to weigh on operations 1. If tourism normalizes, demand for resorts and property could rise.

    • Entitlement and infrastructure costsheadwind

      Land use approvals and infrastructure investment can be expensive and take years, which delays development revenue 1. The company's own observations on Kapalua projects reflect this 1.

    • Diversification into agriculturemixed

      The company started growing drought-resistant agave on 325 acres at Hali‘imaile Ranch, a long-term investment whose revenue is still uncertain 3. If it succeeds, it could add a new business segment.

    Competitive position

    The company competes with other landowners and developers in Maui, elsewhere in Hawaii and across the mainland United States, particularly for luxury resort and residential projects 1. Many competitors are larger and have better access to capital, which may let them finance projects faster 1.

    In leasing and resort activities, competition comes from other property owners in Maui and Hawaii and from other resort destinations on the island 1. The sources do not identify directly competing US-listed companies with the same profile.

    • Other luxury property developers on Maui

      Compete with the company's residential and resort projects; the sources do not name them.

    • Other commercial property owners in Hawaii

      Compete for tenants in the commercial leasing business.

    • Other resort destinations in Maui and Hawaii

      Compete for visitors and tourism spending, which affects the Kapalua Club.

    • Land developers on the US mainland

      Compete for capital and luxury property buyers, as described in the sources.
