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>We recommend three smaller cap Indian banks, namely Baroda, Bandhan adding Punjab National Bank (PNB); we remove Union Bank of India from the buy list, PNB is more compelling</li>
<li>Bandhan and Baroda are attractive for their value attributes relative to their returns, with newly added PNB delivering better returns and it continues to improve credit quality</li>
<li>Richly valued Kotak Mahindra has the group’s highest returns post credit costs, but returns continue to trend downwards; we upgrade premium-valued ICICI to neutral as it delivers further improved returns</li>
