CD trades at 1.0x P/BV, almost two standard deviations below its 10Y average P/BV of 1.9x. FY22F estimated div yield is around 5.2%. Compelling valuations and good margin of safety but wondering when we' ll see the bottom.  | ||||

COE also applies to taxis mah. They dont have to bid but still have to pay. Payment is 70% because the COE is only for 7 years.
For PHV, COE Cars are allowed. I actually know one guy who uses a 2009 Toyota to drive.

Its renting model is bwing fast displaced by PHV's 'use own car' model. In many countries, taxi drivers can own their own taxis just like the Yellow Top in Singapore. They can tag to some taxi companies and pay a small commission for using their logo. Of course Zoom Bee will resist this model. But the price to pay is extinction of (rented) taxis in the long run.
Look at what happened to its taxi business in UK, VN, China, Indonesia...Which is still alive?

Take care of the crisis in UK. 23% of Zoom Bee's income is from there. Why did it invest so heavily in a sunset country? Singapore not a better place? | ||||

In places where the taxis' business model is not like Singapore's, taxis will prevail. Otherwise they will go extinct.
It will be interesting to see whether the COMFORT Taxis in China are still alive even as of now.

That is why I always said 'unless something drastic happens', taxis will go extinct in 10 years. What these something drastic are, the Big Guns sittiing in the Zoom Bee office should think about it.
The current sell-down was a delayed one, because it is surely not worth what it is now. The delay was engineered by the BBs because all these time they wanted the retailers (also the smaller BBs) to buy high, stuck high, while they sell or short high and later buy back or cover low.

Would not disagree with your long term views that taxi is being displaced by private hire. But that will take time to realise and who knows how CDG will evolve along the way. I do feel that the current selldown is largely due to flowover effect from the macro trends rather than this long term outlook.

Make sense. Disruptive technologies is here to stay. CDG is still bloated, not able to harness this kind of stuff to maintain its cutting edge. Not street smart enuff....lol

Just the opposite. Shortage of taxis is BAD because taxi companies earn from the drivers, not the passengers. It rents out taxis and earn from rentals paid by the drivers.
This Zoom Bee was once upon a time 'World's Biggest Taxi Company'. Before Uber came it had 18,000 taxis in Singapore. Now, 6,500. Its taxis in London and Vietnam had already been sold away. My view remains that taxis will go extinct in 10 years if no drastic attempt is made to displace the rental business model. PHV will rule the streets by then.

Share your sentiments, I cab twice daily and there appears to be a shortage. As a shareholder of Comfort, I always use Comfort and not Grab.

A friend of mine took 40 mins to get a cab. I waited for more than half an hr to get a cab at siglap area. I think there is a shortage of cab. I was told, those on the road are doing exceptionally well. You can test it out yourself to see if this is true or...

Agree. We will add some 1.34 for longer term consideration. Nevertheless, need to bear in mind, business environment tough for many industries. Supply chain disrupted, protectionism, interest hike and war (trade war and physical war) have caused everything more messy and ugly.

as long as it continue to generate reasonable profit, holding is not an issue, taxi will act like good class structure deposit. more worry is the possible hard " landing" (hard recesssion), that one many will be whacked upside down. property, etc crashes, if too severe, our island may not survive.

Guru, Exclusion from STI has the greatest impact on the share price which has not yet been fully realised because BBs have been holding it up to unload. The exclusion was more than justified for this worst performing (former) STI stock for its refusal to rejuvenate its business strategy.
How much is its stake in the UK, where the Sun kept setting ever since I was born to its current historical low in 2022? Would the sun rise again? God saves the King and saves the Zoom Bee. ☹
