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>Consumer finance company Krungthai Card (KTC) has been subject to a sharp de-rating over the last twelve months, due to share overhang, index removal and credit quality concerns</li>
<li>Despite slower growth, KTC is experiencing a recovery in returns and it has controlled its credit quality well, also delivering improved opex control in recent quarters</li>
<li>KTC becomes our sole Thai financials buy; we like its potential for further improved returns, its sound credit quality and coverage and we believe the stock overhang risk is limited</li>

<ul>
<li>We upgrade deep value Bangkok Bank to buy from neutral; it trades on a 40%+ PBV discount to SCBx and its return trends improved further alongside solid balance sheet credentials</li>
<li>TMB Thanachart’s share price has corrected versus the peer group, so its PBV valuation no longer looks so stretched especially versus SCBx; we upgrade TMB Thanachart to neutral from sell</li>
<li>Krung Thai remains a neutral, even though it is delivering on improved returns, as it is not compelling value and has been narrowing the discount with SCBx</li>
