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.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
