The Government presented a fiscally sound budget and avoided any major steps to boost expenditure and mitigate the shock of demonetization. Catching the street by a little surprise, the government stuck to the Fiscal responsibility act and reduced the fiscal deficit target for the year ending March'18 to 3.2% of GDP (vs 3.5% in March'17).  Relief has been provided on the personal income side to low and middle-income earners (people with salaries in Rs 0.25m-0.5m range) where the tax has been…

Indiabulls stock is up 18% from our initial coverage note a month back. We believe the major reason for this re-rating is the increasing belief on the street that the whole demonetization exercise hasn't affected the mortgage finance space and has instead brought clarity to investors about the inherent strength of the mortgage finance business model and the large growth opportunities therein. It is not just Indiabulls, but the entire mortgage finance space (Gruh Finance, DHFL, PNB Housing…

On the eve of the budget, shares on the stock market have rallied, raising hopes of the long delayed revival in private sector capital expenditure and corporate earnings. But against the backdrop of an already slowing economy followed by the ill-conceived, disastrously executed demonetisation and marginal room for a major fiscal stimulus might this be a false dawn?

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.

Average loan growth for India's banks is now at unprecedented low levels: 0.3% as at December 2016 compared with March 2016. The figures have been coming down for some time, and suggest to that the cycle remains poor. Economists like to argue about loan growth begetting GDP growth, or GDP growth begetting loan growth; it’s probably a bit of both depending on where we are in the cycle. But the reality is that companies are not getting credit, with demand a more likely driver than supply.India…

Elevator Pitch:I believe that IIFL Holdings is one of the major beneficiaries of the structural shift from physical savings to financial savings in India. Unlike most other well run private financials, IIFL Holdings continues to trade at reasonable valuations (14X trailing Earnings and 2X trailing Book value). There are enough reasons to believe that markets have still not priced in the ongoing quality transformation of IIFL's book and the potential opportunity size for its non-lending business…
