Silchester raises ComfortDelGro stake to 7.05% after share purchase

It acquired 4 million shares in market transaction.

Silchester International Investors LLP has increased its stake in ComfortDelGro Corporation Limited to 7.05% after acquiring 4 million shares in a market transaction on 4 March 2026, according to a filing.

Silchester International Investors is the largest shareholder of ComfortDelGro. The investment manager paid about $5.85m for the shares at $1.4629 each, according to a regulatory filing.

The purchase raised Silchester’s total interest in the transport operator to 152.74 million shares, up from 148.74 million shares previously.

This increased its shareholding to 7.05% from 6.86%, based on ComfortDelGro’s issued share capital of about 2.17 billion shares excluding treasury shares.

Silchester’s interest is deemed through funds it manages, as the firm has discretion over investment and voting decisions whilst the shares are held by custodian banks on behalf of clients.

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.
