Conclusions and Recommendations
We have done a detailed analysis of the performance over AB Bank, Bank Asia and Mercantile
Bank from various aspects such as asset, liquidity, efficiency etc. from year 2014 to year 2017.
1. From investment perspective if an investor has to invest then Mercantile and Bank Asia
would be a good choice over AB Bank because Mercantile and Bank Asia has higher
profitability ratios.
2. From liquidity perspective Bank Asia and Mercantile hold a strong position than AB with
enough liquidity arrangements like hot money, Liquidity Securities Indicator etc. kept
significantly higher than AB proportion to their liabilities. So, AB Bank should increase their
liquidity position.
3. When it comes to efficiencies like asset management efficiency Mercantile is much better
than AB and Bank Asia. Fund management efficiency AB and Mercantile are doing well over
Bank Asia, Bank Asia should focus on these efficiencies. But in terms of controlling expenses
Bank Asia and AB has shown a greater efficiency over Mercantile.
4. When it comes to talk about leverage ratio all the three banks have a growing amount of
leverage or loans over the years. However, the amount increased very rapidly for Mercantile, and
more controllably for AB and Bank Asia So we can say that the bank need to decrease their
borrowings and pay out their loans.
5. Finally when it comes to market ratio the three banks had share prices near to 20 taka in
2017. In this case AB bank and Bank Asia share prices were consistent and higher than
Mercantile Bank, indicating the portfolio managements are working on increasing the wealth of
shareholders. Mercantile Bank struggles to maintain its P/E ratio and has a very high M/B Ratio.
We can see unlikely increase of P/E Ratio of AB Bank in 2017 which if possible is a good
indicator; however, Bank Asia and Mercantile Bank must increase their share prize.
