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)

It is not likely that China’s banks will fully conceal the impact of the crisis. Even if there is some forbearance, we would expect some flow through in the numbers. This can take many forms including lower asset yields, lesser fee income and oversized credit growth. Even with credit costs, bad loans or special mention loans, we are doubtful of a complete white-wash. Part of this is also due to the more strict and onerous bank and accounting regulations now compared with the past.

While only few of China’s banks have reported 1Q19 results, there is a discernable pattern suggestive of worsening credit metrics. We also must recognize that any IFRS 9 distortions during last year when comparing with the year before, will not be a feature of numbers in 1Q19 or any future quarters. Anecdotally we know there is a worsening in credit conditions, with a recent press article well highlighting rising cross-defaults in China (<a href="https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3007516/china-economy-faces-threat-obscure-financial-tool-could" target="_blank">See SCMP on 25 April</a>). This will show up in bank's reported figures, if not in higher NPLs, at least in terms of higher credit costs.
