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

<ul>
<li>Our payment company screens focus on the market value to processed volume ratio versus the take rate, market value to sales, and valuations relative to EBITDA and earnings growth</li>
<li>In the megacaps, we like Mastercard on valuation and growth; in emerging markets we favour PagSeguro and SBI Card, and small cap Getnet, also we believe that Stone is oversold</li>
<li>We are negative on Paytm and DLocal, which both did IPOs in 2021; we believe that both companies’ growth prospects are more than discounted by their earnings and EBITDA valuations</li>
