Thematic (Sector/Industry)

Banking sector results in this quarter have been pretty much a mixed bag with SoE banks (also referred to as PSU or public sector banks) along with large private sector banks ( ICICI) recording weak business growth and rise in NPA ratio while retail-focused private sector banks (Yes bank, IndusInd) continuing to outperform in growth and asset quality. Across the board rally in the banks with strong moves in SOE banks , therefore comes as a surprise. From the lows recorded in Feb/Mar, PSU banks…

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.

The data is not hidden, so it is unclear to us, how the government can miscalculate by such a magnitude. For four state banks, the proposed capital injection is only 0.3% of assets!
