Credit Suisse maintained Outperform Rating on Comfort Delgro
We see ridership growth metrics for both rail and bus operations
recovering on the back of improving economic fundamentals and
tourist arrivals further boosting taxi demand, with CD betterleveraged
given its dominant share of the Singapore taxi market.
● We see continued execution of key initiatives in the government’s
2008 Land Transport Review, with aims to raise public transport
ridership over the longer term. This should, in aggregate, provide
strong tailwinds for the operators.
● Key events and catalysts include: 1) the government taking over
as centralised bus route planner, with routes opened up for
competitive tendering, 2) commencement of the final phase of the
Circle Line in 1H11, and 3) the much-anticipated award of the
Downtown Line (DTL) contract.
● We maintain our OUTPERFORM rating on Comfort Delgro, as we see it as
better-leveraged into an economic recovery, and given its strong
overseas growth profile. We maintain UNDERPERFORM on
SMRT on valuation grounds, given 9% potential downside to our
S$1.85 target price.
Comfort Delgro better leveraged to strong taxi demand
Comfort Delgro saw its Singapore taxi revenue and operating profit jump 13% and
34%, respectively, for its recent September quarter, driven by a larger
fleet (up 5% YoY), higher rentals, with new Sonata models and
cashless transaction volumes, reflecting strong underlying demand.
Improving macro conditions and rising tourist arrivals should support
growth volumes of daily taxi trips going forward. We see CD as bestleveraged
to gain given its dominant 60% market share, via cost
savings on lower driver rebates, higher volume of call bookings, an
increase in daily rental rates, improvement in fleet utilisation, and
potential expansion of its taxi fleet.

ComfortDelgro: BUY (upgrade from HOLD); S$1.46; Bloomberg Code: CD SP
Get onboard
Price Target : 12 months S$ 1.79 (Prev S$ 1.65)
by: Andy SIM CFA +65 6398 7969
3Q10 +10% yoy, above our expectations on better revenues from Bus
and Taxi and lower costs
FY10-11F earnings raised by 4%-6%
Upgrade to Buy, TP raised to S$1.79 with 26% total return;
potential DTL contract win and improving ops should propel share
price
3Q above expectations, a record net profit quarter. 3Q net profit grew by
10% yoy to S$61.4m on the back of 5% topline growth to S$823.4m. This was
slightly above our expectations on the back of a better-than-expected bus
and taxi revenue contribution and slower growth in costs. Operating
expenses increased by a slower clip at 3.7% vis-à-vis topline’s 5%,
resulting in improvement in operating margin to 12.9% in 3Q10 (3Q09:
11.6%).
Time is right to get onboard; upgrade to Buy. We are upgrading our
recommendation to Buy as we see near to medium term catalysts for
ComfortDelgro. These include: (i) ComfortDelgro is the likely candidate to
clinch the DTL contract; (ii) Singapore operations to benefit from better
public transport network; (ii) UK ops upturn looks sustainable; (iv)
Australia should continue to show robust growth; (v) undemanding valuations
of 12.5x PE vs SMRT’s 17.5x (FYE Mar 12).
Raised forecasts by 4%/ 6%, see more upside than down. We raised our FY10F/
11F forecasts by 4%/ 6% as we factor in (i) contributions from recently
completed acquisition of Swan Taxis in Perth; (ii) higher revenue
contributions from Singapore taxis arising from its higher rental/ expanded
fleet. Consequently, we raised our TP to S$1.79 (26% upside) on the back of
our earnings revision and as we roll our PE/ DCF valuation to FY11F, from
blended FY10F/11F. Key risk to our recommendation is surge in oil price.

ComfortDelGro - OCBC IR
Bullish break above downtrend line suggests more upside ahead
More recovery to come. ComfortDelGro could see more upside
potential, after successfully rebounding off the $1.53 key resistanceturned-
support recently; this later led to a bullish break above its
near 3-month downtrend line on heavy volume last Friday.
Indicators are still bullish. The RSI has risen above the centerline
while the MACD indicator has initiated a bullish crossover last
week (see enlarged chart); they suggest that the upside momentum
remains intact.
Initial resistance at $1.67. On the upside, we peg the initial
resistance at $1.67 (upper boundary of 8-month horizontal channel),
breaking which, the next resistance is at $1.74 (support-turnedresistance).
Immediate support at $1.53. Meanwhile, key $1.53 becomes
the immediate support, ahead of $1.42 (resistance-turned-support)
and $1.25 (various troughs from Feb-Jul ‘09).
