ComfortDelGro Corporation ($1.38, down 0.01) is en route to becoming the United Kingdom’s (UK’s) second largest intercity coach operator following a £8.75 million (S$15.84 million) deal with Stagecoach Group plc. As part of two agreements, ComfortDelGro will acquire Stagecoach’s remaining 35% stake in Scottish Citylink Coaches Limited, turning it into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the ComfortDelGro Group. Scottish Citylink, which became a 65%-owned subsidiary of ComfortDelGro in 2005, operates 19 long-distance express services within Scotland, linking the cities of Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, Stirling and Inverness as well as some rural Highland communities.
ComfortDelGro’s share price has been hard hit since the announcement that the company does not intend to list their Australian subsidiary separately in Australia due to bad market conditions. We believe their expansion plans in the UK (thereby making them an industry leader) could eventually see them listing their UK subsidiary separately. At $1.38, it is capitalized at $2.99 billion and trades at 17.0x 2021 and 13.4x 2022 consensus PE raƟ o. Price to book is 1.1x and FY20 dividend yield is 2.6%. Based on Bloomberg 12 months consensus target price of $1.85, the potential upside is 34.1%. Upgrade to BUY.

This investment will add 70 cleaner, healthier and safer jobs to the thousands we are already delivering across Teesside, Darlington and Hartlepool as we develop the critical technologies that are needed to make the UK net zero by 2050.”
