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.

<li>Axis Bank’s acquisition of the Indian Citi consumer banking franchise makes strategic sense, bolstering its market share and scale especially in credit cards, wealth management and incrementally in core deposits</li>
<li>Strategy aside, Axis management’s execution needs to be totally on point to retain Citi clients and minimise the loss of key personnel given the acquisition’s seemingly full price tag</li>
<li>Axis Bank tops the year-to-date share performance among the large cap Indian bank peers; yet we believe that, with regard to the Citi deal, management still has to deliver</li>
