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>RHB Bank is now our sole pick in Malaysian banks, topping our proprietary scorecard; it retains strong fundamental value credentials, with an improving cost of risk trend</li>
<li>We downgrade CIMB shares to a hold from a buy; the valuations are less compelling than RHB and it has further to improve on credit quality and returns</li>
<li>PB Bank is a name to watch for its sustained premium returns, and for its position as the peer group benchmark in terms of ROE, credit quality and efficiency ratio</li>
