ComfortDelGro to face lower earnings due to weak overseas operations

The analyst lowered its public transport margin for the final quarter.

Public transport firm, ComfortDelGro, will be hit by margin pressure as its overseas public transport operations continue to be subdued, RHB said.

In a report, RHB said there were higher operating costs in the firm’s UK public transport business.

“The UK public transport business reported higher operating costs as well as a mismatch in the timing and correlation of contract cost indexation,” said the Malaysian banking firm.

As this happens, ComfortDelGro itself said timing mismatch could persist in the fourth quarter of 2022.

The firm’s Sydney bus contract also came in with lower margins, RHB said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
