CD’s wholly-owned UK subsidiary has been awarded four new public bus contracts. We maintain our expectations that CD would post a strong 1Q24 driven by favourable tailwinds for both the public transport services and taxi segments. We also highlight several points from CD’s responses to shareholder questions. In view of improving fundamentals and a lush 5.5% dividend yield, we maintain BUY and a higher target price of S$1.72. CD remains one of our conviction picks for 1H24.
While Middle East tensions have escalated in the past 72 hours, we believe that the situation remains fluid. Oil prices remain the key worry and could negatively impact Asian growth and thus Singapore’s open economy should it escalate past US$100/bbl. In our view, aviation stocks should be able to pass on any oil price related increases, while near-term sentiment for the upstream and offshore marine sector should remain positive. An overall risk-off sentiment will likely pervade the markets in t...

Recent comments by US Fed officials raise the spectre of zero interest rate cuts should the US economy remain robust. We view Singapore corporates’ debt levels as manageable across the companies we cover, with free cash flow generation forecast to remain strong in 2024. Nevertheless, some companies’ profit margins could erode in 2024 should interest rate cuts be deferred into 2025, eg WIL, CDL, CLI, SCI and KEP. Companies with high cash piles (eg VALUE, GENS and YZJ) could benefit.

In our view, CD is set to post a strong 1Q24 driven by favourable tailwinds for both the public transport services and taxi segments. Higher fares and rail ridership, coupled with increased taxi commission rates, are set to boost margins. CD’s acquisition of A2B is on track to be completed by 2Q24 and would be earnings accretive. In view of improving fundamentals and a lush 6.0% dividend yield, we maintain BUY and a higher target price of S$1.66. CD remains one of our conviction picks for 1H24.

For 2023, CD reported higher PATMI (+4.3% yoy), driven by both the public transport and taxi segments. Backed by higher ridership levels and ongoing cost indexation, the public transport segment reported higher revenue and margins. The taxi segment also posted better profitability from higher commission rates, lower rental rebates and the recently implemented platform fees. Backed by improving fundamentals and a lush 6.0% dividend yield, we maintain BUY but with a lower target price of S$1.58.
Although the FSSTI recorded a decline of 0.4% mom in Feb 24, more than half of our picks, especially the small/mid-caps (Frencken, Marco Polo Marine and Food Empire), recorded decent gains. Our Alpha Picks portfolio rose 1.6% mom on an equal-weighted basis, outperforming the FSSTI by 2.0ppt. For Mar 24, we add Riverstone, and take profit on SATS and Valuetronics.
