The west London outfit are sitting rock-bottom of the Premier League standings with only two points from their first six outings.
On Monday night the Loftus Road club suffered another setback as they went down 2-1 to West Ham.
But Fernandes remains adamant that Hughes is the right man to take QPR into the future on a long-term basis.
"Mark will sort it out. Look at his record. We would have won (against West Ham) if we didn't go down to 10 men. I am relaxed and confident.
Let's get all our players back and in form and then let's see," said Fernandes.
"Keep calm," he continued. "Six games does not make a season. I have learnt from many wise chairmen."
"Don't worry. I'm calm and want to build stability which is what most fans want. There are many out there who are clueless."
Club chief executive Philip Beard says that it's imperative that the team's fortunes are turned around, but says that Hughes must be supported.
"It goes without saying that the start to the Premier League season has not been what any of us would have wanted," he said.
"As I reflect on a challenging start to our second season back in the best league in the world, I simply look back to May 13, 2012 and remind myself that if results had been different on that day our last three games might have been against Sheffield Wednesday, Birmingham and Watford instead of sell-out fixtures against Manchester City, Chelsea and Spurs."
"I say this with no disrespect to any of the teams in the Championship, it simply illustrates the difference between the leagues and how important it is to stay focused and get behind Mark and the team."
