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

Bolsa Mexicana De Valores Sab (BOLSAA MM)

<ul>
<li>We upgrade BolsaMex to a buy rating; we believe that it is too cheap to ignore and that it has sound growth credentials with its healthy share of post-trade revenues</li>
<li>We downgrade B3 Exchange to a neutral from buy, after its strong share price performance since mid-October lows; we feel it is still attractive but not as compelling as BolsaMex</li>
<li>We upgrade BSE to a neutral rating from sell despite it trading on rich fundamental valuations; India’s strong IPO pipeline is one major factor in de-railing our sell recommendation</li>

Centurion Accomodation REIT IPO - New Asset Class

<ul>
<li>We stick with Brazilian exchange B3 as our buy pick, as the scorecard indicates; data represents the highest share of total revenues versus peers and its post-trade revenues are understated</li>
<li>We downgrade Hong Kong Exchange to a neutral from buy, after its strong share price performance YTD; we feel much growth potential is discounted at current valuations</li>
<li>We downgrade BSE to a sell rating as it trades on rich fundamental valuations making it vulnerable to negative earnings surprises; its EBITDA margin no longer lags its peer group</li>

GEM Exchanges –Scorecard Confirms Brazilian Exchange B3 (B3SA3 BZ) As Our Top Pick

<ul>
<li>Our core pick is Brazilian exchange B3; this is a contrarian call, given its poor share price performance year to date, but it is attractively priced versus its peers</li>
<li>B3’s share of post-trade revenue is understated, and it is a well-diversified exchange in terms of the product offering, which includes cash equities, equity derivatives, FX, interest rates and commodities</li>
<li>We also like Hong Kong Exchange, with its high share of post-trade revenues; HKEx should benefit from improving investor sentiment towards China, boosted by the Chinese government’s recent economic stimulus</li>
