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.

There are few financial companies that can compare to the persistent and high and improving rate of profit growth. We must remember that late in 2017, regulations changed lowering the maximum rate on credit card loans and limiting facilities based on a more stringent policy relating to income. Ironically, we believe this supports performance. Customers may have become more careful on defaulting, running the risk of getting cut off and having to re-apply for a personal loan or a credit card. And under new regulations, customers can not receive as high a credit limit as in the past, if their income is less than Bt30,000 or Bt50,000 per month.</p>
