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.

<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/45" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:45:1">China Construction Bank H (939 HK)</a> (CCB) added real estate loans at more than double the amount of total corporate loans during 2018. This is something we see with many of China’s banks in the period. What is also apparent is a sharp drop in real estate NPL ratios during the year - not simply due to a larger denominator. There is nothing anecdotally or otherwise that we have seen, that should suggest a dramatically more healthy China real estate sector, e.g. property development, commercial real estate during 2018 compared with 2017. The risk is that banks are extending substantially more credit here to support weak, frail debtors.  With a weakening economy, this is not likely to last without negative consequences.

For the most part, China bank’s 1H18 profit growth YoY (and 2Q18 YoY) is from realized and unrealized trading gains, investment gains and fair value gains. The largest four banks are the only major exceptions due to significant low-cost deposits and expansive sticky customer base. From the commentary that we have heard on China banks’ 1H18 earnings, we do not believe the focus is on the underlying reality.  There are negative implications where earnings quality is worsening considerably, while at the same time, it is likely that 2H18 is fundamentally worse, thereby making putting further pressure on core income and profit growth.

China Banks – Profit Growth Is Only From Securities Gains

In December 2017, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) issued a 270-page report assessing China’s financial sector and specifically how the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) has fared in its observance of Basel core principles. It may not be coincidental that the China regulator(s) have become stricter during 2018. Two key shortcomings highlighted in the report are worth exploring further: special mention loans and interbank lending.  Many of China’s banks will see a surge in bad loans…
