ComfortDelGro's earnings to increase up to 3% by 2021

Its petrol sales may offset declining diesel sales.

OCBC Investment Research reported a forecast of ComfortDelGro Corporation (CDG)’s earnings, rising slightly by 1% to 3% from 2018 to 2022.

CDG is scaling up on its petrol station business to serve the rising fleet of hybrid taxis this year, but it may not increase much of its earnings. The petrol station may offset the declining diesel sales if it starts to serve Uber’s larger private hire car fleet, OCBC Research said.

CDG’s partnership with Uber may also help stabilise its taxi operations.

Meanwhile, CDG’s revenue is forecasted to decline to $3.85m YoY in 2018.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
