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. 

Asian bank research, without the noise.

<p>The beloved bank reported exceptionally high growth in non-performing assets (NPAs) rising from INR111bn to INR119, from 2Q19 to 3Q19. And this is flattered, as it is after write-offs.  Its doubtful 3 loans, rose by 33% in the quarter. The bank’s additions to NPAs during the period, also increased - a more objective figure, before write-offs. The figure was INR40bn in 1Q19: INR39bn in 2Q19; and rose to INR46bn in 3Q19. This is not data that we expect most analysts to focus on, as much lays hidden in the bank’s Pillar 3 disclosure. The result of deteriorating credit metrics: 21% higher growth in credit costs QoQ and 64% YoY in 3Q19.</p>
