ComfortDelGro targets overseas expansion in 5 years

60% of targeted profits to come from non-Singapore market.

According to Nomura, ComfortDelGro Corp's management reiterated their focus on M&A to grow the business, particularly outside of Singapore. The group currently has a target to achieve 50–60% of its operating profits from overseas in 3–5 years.

Here's more:

Management remains positive on the potential of M&A but reiterated that their approach is opportunistic with a focus on value creation, as opposed to a blind focus on acquisition for growth’s sake. They seek to achieve IRR of 12–15%, non-dilutive margins and management control.

Their preference lies in the taxi and bus segments and in markets such as China, UK and Australia where they see a strong commitment by governments to invest in infrastructure.

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.
