ComfortDelGro's Earnings May Gain as Its Subsidiary Retains Bus Contract -- Market Talk

Dow Jones2023-08-23

0353 GMT - ComfortDelGro's earnings may gain from retaining the Bukit-Merah bus package, UOB Kay Hian analysts say in a research report. They raise the stock's target price to S$1.56 from S$1.53 with an unchanged buy rating. Singapore's Land Transport Authority recently announced the company's subsidiary, SBS Transit, would continue to run this bus package after the April 2024 expiry for an additional five years, the analysts note. As the brokerage previously factored the loss of Bukit-Merah and Jurong-West bus packages into its estimates for ComfortDelGro, the company's loss of just one package along with lower margins for the Bukit-Merah contract imply a 2%-3% increase to UOB Kay Hian's 2024-2025 earnings projections for the firm. Shares are 0.8% higher at S$1.27. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
