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.

Thematic (Sector/Industry)

Average loan growth for India's banks is now at unprecedented low levels: 0.3% as at December 2016 compared with March 2016. The figures have been coming down for some time, and suggest to that the cycle remains poor. Economists like to argue about loan growth begetting GDP growth, or GDP growth begetting loan growth; it’s probably a bit of both depending on where we are in the cycle. But the reality is that companies are not getting credit, with demand a more likely driver than supply.India…

Primary issuances are expected to remain strong in 2017 following a five-year high in funds raised in 2016 (Rs 220bn) even as Fed rate expectations weigh on the broader secondary market outlook for India. Data shows that primary issuances in previous years have bucked the trend of weak capital inflows and in our view companies evaluate sector appetite &amp; valuations levels before deciding on a public issue.

Still Too Many Stale Bulls on India, as Structural Risks Deepen - 11th Jan 2017

Dena Bank is a small PSU bank, at a similar size to better-known YES Bank. Dena Bank received a central bank capital injection a few months ago. And yet, it is coming to the market again for more capital. For anybody thinking that the NPL cycle has run its course in India, it's not the case. Of course, it isn’t only Dena Bank or PSU banks that are of concern; recent NPL formation at several private banks is also worrisome. India’s banks remain well entrenched in a nasty NPL cycle. Where some may…
