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.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
