  • Opportunities Amid Crisis
    Banks Opportunities amid crisis 1Q20 preview: Lower NIMs, healthier-than-expected loan growth, and stable credit costs For 1Q20, we expect banks under our coverage—Shinhan Financial Group (SFG), KB Industry Report Financial Group (KBFG), Hana Financial Group (HFG), Industrial Bank of Korea (IBK), April 22, 2020 BNK Financial Group (BNKFG), DGB Financial Group (DGBFG), and JB Financial Group (JBFG)—to post combined net profit attributable to controlling interests of W3tr (-7.5% YoY), in line with the recently lowered consensus. Whil e we see net profit declining YoY on high base effects (due to provision reversals a year ago), we still think banks Mirae Asset Daewoo Co., Ltd. performed decently amid growing concerns over the economy. We estimate bank net [Banks/Credit Cards ] interest margins (NIMs) fell 4-5bps QoQ, but we believe loa n growth was healthier than expected, as large banks’ won-denominated loans likely expanded 2.5% QoQ on Heather Kang average. We estimate credit costs increased 17% YoY, while the ratio of credit costs to +822 -3774 -1903 total credit was likely stable at 38bps (vs. 35bps in 1Q19, when reversals of provisions [email protected] were included). 2020 forecast: Net profit to decline 7%; ROE of 7.4% Concerns are growing over the potential impact of COVID-19 on banks (asset quality and credit costs) and the broader economy, as it is still unknown how long the outbreak will last and what its impact will be. Unlike previous financial crises that were triggered by large conglomerates or banks, we think the potential upcoming crisis is very likely to start from micro businesses, small merchants, and SMEs, before spreading gradually to larger enterprises.

  • In a Year of Contraction, Asia Feels the Ripple Effect of Mifid II 2016 Greenwich Leaders: Asian Equities
    In a Year of Contraction, Asia Feels the Ripple Effect of MiFID II 2016 Greenwich Leaders: Asian Equities Q1 2017 Three global brokers are pulling away from the pack in the Asian equity research/advisory business—a break from historical patterns characterized by a more gradual slope among major competitors. Credit Suisse, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley are statistically deadlocked atop the list of 2016 Greenwich Leaders in Asian Equity Research/Advisory Vote Share. These three firms have opened a significant lead over UBS, CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets and J.P. Morgan, which are also virtually tied in terms of vote share and round out the list of this year’s winners. In Asian Equity Trading, the same three firms are statistically tied for the top spot in overall share, but in this business, their lead over fellow Greenwich Share Leaders CLSA, UBS and Citi is much narrower. In the growing algorithmic trading business, Bank of America Merrill Lynch widened its lead over the competition.
