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 bound to be banks caught out on derivative exposures related to oil. The sharp and sudden move downward in oil prices from peaks of US$50 per barrel in recent months to around US$38 currently will surely catch some off guard.Should the figures remain low, we must expect lower growth in those countries most dependent on it, eg. Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). The two banks that come to mind with exposure here are HSBC and Standard Chartered. But the scale is vastly…

A record year for new Housing and Development Board (HDB) flat launches with 19,184 units in FY2014/2015, along with 12,411 units launched in November 2015 is quite impressive given Singapore government&rsquo;s commitment to make every public flat affordable. The pace of incoming supply in 2016 with 20,000 more new HDB flats launched is also starting to cause some HDB home buyers feeling concerned about their chances of getting a flat, and questions about competition and disappointments could arise given such a pace of supply growth.

Lending Club, the leading loan marketplace that has epitomized the rise of the fintechs and its growth from startup to corporate status, went public in December 2014 raising $900 million.&nbsp;It is&nbsp;the flag bearer for all fintechs that has successfully&nbsp;navigated the tricky years from inception and&nbsp;private funding to the public market. Since its&nbsp;IPO at&nbsp;$15 per share, the company has seen lots of volatility in its share price, which at the time of writing this, sat below its pre-IPO price at $12.47 with an all time high of&nbsp;$29.29.&nbsp;Many have concluded that its share price trajectory&nbsp;is representative of the waning confidence in the broader fintech industry. Is there truth in this belief or is there more than what meets the eye about the darling of the fintech world? Let's take a look.
