Tabbush Report

We provide research and consultancy on Asian banks. Our focus is on what we call “Asian bank research, without the noise.” We are interested in the most critical swing-factors for banks, the NPL and credit cycle, and where we believe there is a gap between perception and reality. We often focus on the less studied components of bank financial statements.  Our research is highly thematic, sometimes examining unlisted banks and companies as a window on mainstream banks. 

Being independent allows us to look at smaller banks, often overlooked by others. Analysis of BIS bank guidelines in the context of Asia, is also a focal point, while we also analyze global banks operating in the region. We use what we believe is the most comprehensive, reliable financials database, SNL Financial. S&P Capital IQ augments our database, with corporate data and CEIC, with economics.

We catch a glimpse of this first with OCBC’s newly released data. Our belief remains that the conservative, near-zero risk profile of Singapore banks, is not valid. At the same time, that China’s banks will face major profit contraction, some with losses, and capital will be at risk. This is only beginning, with no major China bank…

Risks in China are not limited to Hong Kong’s banks, and the Singapore banks are the next obvious candidates. Where China figures are opaque within Singapore banks’ group first quarter results, we should see more clarity when interim results are released. DBS Bank China has seen its returns down to incredibly low levels, with ROA at 12bps last year. Impairment costs are one contributing factor, but also core income, where margins are now down to 1.64%. At the same time, its costs in China are…
