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.

Recall that when HSBC bought back its Canary Wharf head office in 2008 it paid GBP838 million, and where the original construction cost was GBP500 million. But HSBC Bank Malaysia accounts for only 1.3% of group loans. On the surface, the Malaysian head office numbers seem a bit out of touch…

Thematic (Sector/Industry)

It is not clear to us how a EUR7 billion capital raising will allow Banco Santander (SAN) to clean up Banco Popular (POP), which it has just announced to buy.  This is because POP had EUR19 billion of impaired loans as at 1Q17 compared with equity of EUR11 billion. In any case what is especially of interest to us, are statements from SAN on improving non-performing loan cover to 69% from a low 45%. While there are no listed banks in Asia-Pacific that have the same magnitude of impaired loans as…

UK Investment Managers: Any Reason to Be Frightened by Brexit? A Legal Update from Dechert

We actually have data for HSBC through 1991, so we can corroborate that indeed, its quarterly impairment costs are the lowest ever on record – at least for our own records covering the past 26 years. The bank’s impairment costs/assets is at a sprightly 4bps in 1Q17, and that is already an annulized figure.For sure banks can and do report single digit impairment costs/assets and sometimes even reversals. But that tends to be limited to heady, go-go years, with healthy or downright, robust…
