I read somewhere that RKD values bank based on MCap/Deposit ration all else being equal.

I guess if we subtract the advances then net worth and MCap to what remains should be a good indicator.

Any comment?

Financial companies are more difficult to analyze than other companies. They can report whatever earnings they want – it’s an easy game to play. For banks, earnings depend on loans and the reserves set aside. It’s easy to change and manipulate the reserves.

With a company like WD-40 or a brick company, the financials are easy to analyze. But with financial [companies] it’s tough, especially when you throw in derivatives.

There were very high grade, financially sophisticated people who were on the boards of the GSEs [Government-Sponsored Enterprises, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac] and tuffethey were not negligent, but it’s very tough [to detect the shenanigans that went on].

Charlie and I were on the board of Salomon and Charlie was on the audit committee, and [it’s just impossible to evaluate thousands of transactions]. You’ll just have to accept that with insurance companies, banks and other financial companies – it’s just a more dangerous field to analyze.

With GEICO it’s easier because the statistics are quite accurate – it’s short-tailed insurance. It’s not like asbestos.

I wouldn’t fault the ratings agencies. Even the big-name auditors didn’t catch it. - Warren Buffett

 
Where you have complexity, by nature you can have fraud and mistakes. You’ll have more of that than in a company that shovels sand from a river and sells it. This will always be true of financial companies, including ones run by governments. If you want accurate numbers from financial companies, you’re in the wrong world. -Charlie Munger

After reading your query, I serached on internet. And I found this.
 
HDFC Bank stands out, It understand risks more than others.
This seperates Men(HDFC Bank) from Boys(YES bank) :) 
 
I think People who are too too much bullish on YES should do some diversification.

CASA is historically considered as a powerful too for evaluation of bank performance, and rightly so. However, recently, with banks like Yes and Kotak increasing their interest rate on SB deposits to 7% odd, it would appear that the financial advantage that would have been available to banks with a high savings bank deposits as a ratio of total deposits would be somewhat mitigated.

Any views/counter views on this?
