ComfortDelGro Faces Earnings Hit From Shrinking Taxi Fleet in Singapore -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Mar 05

0317 GMT - ComfortDelGro faces an earnings hit from a shrinking tax fleet in Singapore, Phillip Securities Research's Paul Chew says in commentary. Its taxi fleet is contracting at a swifter pace, with the fleet size falling 8.7% on year in 4Q 2025, double the 4.1% drop in 4Q 2024, the head of research notes. There are no indication that the fleet-size contraction will stabilize as competition for drivers intensify, Chew says. The brokerage cuts its 2026 earnings forecast for the multi-modal transport operator by 11%. It lowers the stock's target price to S$1.50 from S$1.62, with an unchanged accumulate rating. Shares are 2.1% higher at S$1.47. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
