ComfortDelGro posts 19.7% H1 profit decline on weaker P2P earnings

The interim dividend remained at $0.0391 per share.

ComfortDelGro Corporation Limited’s profit after tax and minority interests (PATMI) fell 19.7% year on year (YoY) to $85.1m for the six months (H1) ended 30 June 2026, despite a 5.7% increase in revenue to $2.56b.

The revenue increase was driven mainly by the group’s overseas public transport operations.

Revenue from the public transport segment rose to $1.72b, helped by contractual indexation, renewed bus contracts in London, and new contracts in Victoria, Australia.

The segment accounted for about 67% of group revenue in H1.

Its operating profit increased to $79.7m, mainly due to higher margins from its London bus contracts.

However, stronger public transport earnings were offset by weaker results from the group’s point-to-point businesses.

Operating profit from the taxi and private hire segment fell to $35.5m amidst continued competitive pressure.

The board declared an interim dividend of $0.0391 per share, unchanged from a year earlier.

Based on the current share price, the dividend implies an annualised yield of about 5.8%.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up 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. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

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