Three critical risks for ComfortDelGro amidst expected H2 improved earnings

Overseas operations and a rise in ridership will drive the transport business.

Top Singapore transport firm, ComfortDelGro, will see improved earnings in the second half of 2023 after lower net profit in the first quarter of the year, according to an RHB brokerage report.

Some key positives include its overseas operations amidst “indexation of higher operating costs in the UK.”

Ridership will also be enhanced in Singapore and a taxi rental discount will be reduced from 15% to 10% starting 1 April 2023.

But ComfortDelGro will still face challenges such as “losing the Bukit Merah and Jurong West bus packages or retaining them at lower-than-estimated service fees, higher-than-estimated operating costs, and weak taxi earnings from a failure to gradually phase out rental rebates.”

In its previous financial statement, ComfortDelGro said it was hit by inflationary cost pressures on public transport services.

Financial Statements

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.
