Tisco Financial Group (TISCO TB) TB
Financials
One of several high growth Asean banks that also offers a sustainably high dividend - TISCO was one of the banks that fared best during the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997 and its core income delta is exceptional. ROA is up from 2.37% to 2.94% over the past four quarters. This is not only credit costs. Margins moved from 4.92% to 5.33% over this time with strong growth in each of the past three quarters. An added delta for ROA expansion should be improved operating costs, which were uncharacteristically high during 4Q21 at 3.56% of assets. This can easily come in by 10bps+, suggesting dramatic ROA growth from multiple drivers, and it comes with a 7.1% dividend yield.

Daniel Tabbush is very bullish on the prospects for Thai Financial stocks and given it is highly unlikely that rates in Thailand will be rising anytime soon the large dividend yields on offer are now also much more valuable. TISCO stands out at 7.1%, it is one of the finance companies to survive the Asian Financial Crisis and its earnings have been relatively steady. TCAP reports the highest dividend yield at 8.8%; it is unique with its 52% equity/asset ratio, ROA of 4.3% and with cost/income in rapid decline.
