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.

Thematic (Sector/Industry)

We all intuitively understand the concept of economic growth and keeping current with debt. But where so many commentators continue to proclaim China’s growth as being relatively strong, we feel compelled to disagree. It is not relatively strong compared with debt. The mirror image of the boon in credit for banks in China over the past several years is a high level of liabilities at the corporate level. If these same companies are not seeing higher growth, there is no way to keep pace with…

In order to advance, Chinese industry needs to become innovative. The track record to date is poor, with few examples of genuine innovation and rather too many instances of attempts to deceive and straightforward fraud.

With what we see as the stabilization of the Chinese real economy, though credit driven as noted, and growth in steel production among other products, it is naturally anticipated that the inventory level may have increased. This would be due to a lack of real demand absorbing the additional production.Nearly all important metal ore inventories have declined. A look at the important metal ore inventories like nickel, chromium and manganese have experienced a steady decline since December 2015…

Is Increased Chinese Output Leading to Higher Inventories?

We had predicted that official China PMI would increase and were forecasting 50.5.  We were not even close as PMI remain unchanged at 50.1 for May. Though the Chinese economy is built upon leverage, it seems clear that the real economy in China is stabilizing even if credit driven. What is interesting about our forecast is that even though official PMI remained unchanged, virtually all sectors reporting data throughout the month showed further increase in output from April. We are retooling our…

While it is built up on leverage which is built upon leverage which is built upon even more leverage, there is strong evidence that the real economy in China continues to stabilize and even expand.  Virtually all granular data collected in May 2016, supports the hypothesis that real output has not simply stabilized but grown. This leads us to believe that current estimates of both official and unofficial PMI due to be released on June 1, underestimate the expected value.  Wind currently provides…
