Galliano’s Financials Research

Galliano's Financials Research provides fundamental research in Emerging Markets financials, including FinTech, as well as financials in select Developed Markets.

The investment style applied is generally value oriented, although Growth At Reasonable Price (GARP) strategies can also be used where appropriate. 

Our investment research approach aim is often contrarian, looking to capitalise on overly sceptical or optimistic consensus views. In terms of valuation techniques, the focus is on PBV ratio to ROE, PE multiples and dividend yield, as well as the application of PEG ratios and, where appropriate, Sum of the Parts (SOTP) valuations.

Equity Bottom-Up

Bank Negara Indonesia Persero / Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>Negara’s attractive valuations, its low PEG ratio, its improving returns and efficiency ratio stand out; pre- and post-provision returns edged higher, combined with high NPL coverage and healthy CET1 ratio</li>
<li>We remain positive on Mandiri for its attractive PE multiples, its premium returns, and its robust credit quality metrics; Mandiri has the second-best efficiency ratio after mega-cap Bank Central Asia</li>
<li>Rakyat’s high structural cost of risk continues to weigh on its pre- and post-provision returns, with the latter being eroded further to 3Q24</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Negara value attributes, its growth potential captured by its low PEG ratio and its improving efficiency ratio all stand out; pre- and post-provision returns edged higher, with high NPL coverage</li>
<li>We are also positive on Mandiri for its quality attributes, its premium returns, and its strong credit quality metrics; Mandiri has the second-best efficiency ratio after mega-cap Bank Central Asia</li>
<li>Bank Mega has seen credit quality stabilise in 2Q24, but its returns are under pressure, with the efficiency ratio worsening steadily; cost of risk is likely to increase going forward</li>

Indonesian Banks Screener; Bank Negara (BBNI IJ), the Value and Growth Pick

<ul>
<li>Bank Negara stands out versus its peers for its value attributes, its attractive PEG ratio, and its improving pre- and post-provision returns with top NPL coverage relative to its peers</li>
<li>Bank Mandiri remains a buy for its quality attributes, its premium returns, and its well-controlled CoR; Mandiri has a far better valuations-to-returns mix than mega-cap BCA </li>
<li>Bank Rakyat comes off the sell list; it registered improved pre-provision returns in 1Q24, and although cost of risk worsened, post-provision returns were maintained along with its NPL coverage ratio</li>

Indonesian Banks Screener; Negara Stands Out on Value, Growth Potential and Improving Return Trends

<ul>
<li>Bank Mandiri is our top pick for its quality attributes, its premium and growing pre- and post-provision returns; Mandiri provides a better valuations to returns mix than Bank Central Asia</li>
<li>Bank Negara is the value pick with its low PE multiples, its attractive PEG ratio, whilst also improving pre- and post-provision returns with cost of risk well controlled</li>
<li>Bank Rakyat registered worsening pre- and post-provision returns in 4Q23, with cost of risk worsening; this reflects its heavily MSME focused loan mix which keeps structural cost of risk high</li>
</ul>

Indonesian Banks Screener; Mandiri Is Our Top Pick on Quality and Return Trends

<ul>
<li>We rate Bank Mandiri as our top pick with its attractive valuations including PEG ratio relative to solid returns and strong balance sheet – including liquidity -  metrics</li>

<li>Bank Rakyat had mixed returns in 4Q22, with pre-provision returns declining sharply QoQ although cost of risk continued to improve, due to better credit quality, thereby supporting post-provision profits</li>
