Research and consultancy

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.

Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>Singapore credit growth turned negative at -3% YoY in July where STAN has major exposure, while many regions, are not high growth, where credit metrics are worsening, like HK, China</li>
<li>88% of loans in well-developed countries, so that the old moniker of STAN being 'an Emerging Market Bank' may no longer apply, with NPLs as an overlying risk</li>
<li>Credit costs rose 6x from 1Q23 to 2Q23, but the 19bps level in 2Q23 remains low relative to its longer-term 62bps average - which excludes the Asian Financial Crisis</li>

Standard Chartered - Singapore Credit Growth Negative In July | Credit Costs Up 6x QoQ But Still Low

<ul>
<li>Credit metrics appear worse than headlines, with what may be inflated substandard loans now at 66% of total NPLs in 1H23 compared with 21% in 1H21, requiring low provisions</li>
<li>High net charge-offs can partly explain this, but high growth from RMB1.6bn during 2H18/1H19 compared with RMB7.5bn during 2H22/1H23, shows major deterioration</li>
<li>2Q23 saw CZB take credit costs of RMB10.3bn or 2.48% of loans, far higher than most other periods, but there remains high volatility, where very high figures rarely repeat QoQ</li>
