SMRT stocks derailed?

Strain on rail transport gives ComfortDelgro an edge.

According to Maybank Kim Eng Singapore, recent initiatives by the government promoting bus ridership to alleviate the strain on rail transport leads them to believe that ComfortDelgro rather than SMRT will be the overall winner.

They reiterate the preference for ComfortDelgro and believe it justifies a Buy on a higher 16x PER valuation, with TP of $1.85. SMRT remains a Sell based on 15x PER, with TP of $1.41. Maybank Kim Eng sees a unique pair trade opportunity awaiting investors, with a potential to gain from both a 20% upside to the ComfortDelgro TP and 19% downside to the SMRT TP.

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.
