ComfortDelGro cancels Australian IPO

The IPO was first announced in August 2021.

ComfortDelGro Corporation announced it is no longer pursuing an initial public offering (IPO) for its Australian subsidiary on 10 November.

The company had considered listing its wholly-owned subsidiary, ComfortDelGro Corporation Australia (CDG Australia), on the Australian Stock Exchange subject to prevailing market conditions. In light of challenging developments, and on the advice of the Joint Lead Managers, Credit Suisse Australia, and UBS Australia, the group has decided to halt its IPO plans. 

Chairman Lim Jit Poh commented, "The environment has changed somewhat since then, so we are not proceeding with our IPO plans at this time. The intent is still to enhance the value of our Australian assets, and we will carefully  evaluate all strategic alternatives."

ComfortDelGro currently operates in all six states and territories in Australia with a total fleet of over 4,400 vehicles, including buses, coaches, and ambulances.

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.
