See what the board says at analyst call tmr.  This flip-flop on the Australian IPO embarrases the board and management unnecessarily. Distracts from the recovery prospects of the core public transport ops at overseas and Singapore.

Good entry point now. It did not react very postively to the news of the IPO in first place and likewise no reason for a selldown now. Some analysts were even saying that the IPO could be negative for CDG if not done on the correct terms.  They should try listing in the US market. Even though it is an unexciting industry but in US every other small stock gets valued at billions overnight.

DBS Group Research  11 Nov 2021 ComfortDelGro (CD SP) &ndash BUY < News First Take> CDG Australia IPO halted Focus shifts back to domestic re-openings Price Target (12-mth):  S$2.06, Upside  28.0% -- ComfortDelGro (CDG) has halted their Australian IPO citing a change in the environment and other strategic options presenting themselves -- While this news is disappointing for the stock in the short term, nevertheless, we still see CDG share price will re-rate as performance will continue to see improvement on given the domestic re-openings in Singapore and Australia -- We currently have a BUY call with a TP of S$2.06 TP is under review pending analyst call tomorrow What&rsquo s New Unfortunately, ComfortDelGro has halted their Australian IPO citing a change in the environment.  The Group did not provide details but mentioned that &ldquo IPO conditions in Australia have become more challenging&rdquo with &ldquo other strategic options&rdquo presenting themselves.  Our View Two potential reasons for halt in IPO.  While detailed reasons on the halt in IPO was not provided, we see two possible reasons behind the move. First, CDG Australia may not have been able to attain an acceptable valuation. We note that, Sealink Travel Group, an Australian transport operator, had seen its stock fall c.15% in October although our estimated valuation of CDG&rsquo s Australia subsidiary was based off this lower price and thus should not result in a major de-rating in our view.  Secondly, it may also be possible that other more attractive options have become available, such as a merger, sale of strategic stake, or further scaling up of the Australia business before spinning off.  Spotlight reverts to re-opening of the economy.  While the halt in the CDG Australian listing is undoubtedly disappointing news in the short-term, CDG&rsquo s Australia business remains of substantial value and will continue to contribute positively to CDG&rsquo s overall profits. With the spin-off of the Australian business off the table in the near future, the focus shifts back to CDG&rsquo s operations in Singapore and the UK, where we believe the Group will benefit from the re-opening of the domestic (and even tourism) sectors in the coming months. We currently have a BUY call on ComfortDelGro with a TP of S$2.06 predicated on the listing of CDG Australia. Our TP is under review pending an analyst call tomorrow. |

ComfortDelGro ditches IPO plans for Australian unit
 
TRANSPORT OPERATOR ComfortDelGro ComfortDelGro: C52 -0.62% is no longer pursuing an initial public offering (IPO) for its wholly-owned Australian subsidiary ComfortDelGro Corporation Australia on the Australian Stock Exchange.
 
In a filing on Wednesday (Nov 10) after market close, the company said that IPO conditions in Australia have become more challenging since August, when the group announced that it was considering listing ComfortDelGro Australia.
 
The company added that " other strategic options" have emerged it did not elaborate.
 
The boards of directors of both ComfortDelGro and ComfortDelGro Australia, with the advice of joint lead managers Credit Suisse (Australia) and UBS Australia, have thus mutually agreed not to further pursue the IPO at this time, after taking into account the " market conditions as well as current strategic priorities" .
 
Earlier in August, when ComfortDelGro first sounded this IPO plan, the group said this move would unlock the value of its land-transport business assets in Australia. Back then, Australia was also the group' s single largest overseas investment destination, with a total investment of S$1.17 billion.
 
ComfortDelGro Australia operates a total fleet of over 4,400 vehicles across Australia, making it one of the largest privately owned bus operators there.
 
CGS-CIMB analysts estimated then that the listing could boost the price of ComfortDelGro' s Singapore-listed stock to between S$1.83 and S$2.15. The analysts added that Australia was the best-performing overseas location for the group during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. 
 
To be sure, Australia was a growing market for ComfortDelGro and the company' s financial statements reflected this. Australia contributed 13.2 per cent of the group' s revenue and 14.6 per cent of its operating profit in 2018. In the first half of FY2021, Australia contributed 20.3 per cent of its revenue and 28.2 per cent of its operating profit.
 
Analysts had been positive on the IPO as they saw the potential for a special dividend for shareholders, as well as a re-rating of ComfortDelGro' s shares.
 
As far as the withdrawal of the IPO goes, ComfortDelGro said there will be no material impact on the operations of the group and ComfortDelGro Australia. The withdrawal is also not expected to have a material impact on the net tangible assets and earnings per share of the company and the group for the fiscal year ending December.
 
Lim Jit Poh, chairman of ComfortDelGro, said: " We had initially planned to list ComfortDelGro Australia by the end of the year, subject to prevailing market conditions. The environment has changed somewhat since then, so we are not proceeding with our IPO plans at this time.
 
" The intent is still to enhance the value of our Australian assets, and we will carefully evaluate all strategic alternatives."
 
ComfortDelGro said it will continue to focus on growing the business through mergers and acquisitions, contract renewals and new contract tenders.

Would you invest in a business everyone knows is in a big decline?
In the post-Covid New Normal, less and less people will need to commute. The best time to list or sell a land transport business, whether in Australia or in Singapore or elsewhere, was before the Covid19 Pandemic and it is now over and gone. There is no meed to wait for 'a better time' if the Zoom Bee cant do it now because it simply will not come.

I agree with you a poor response to the IPO reflects badly on CDG Australia business when ASX is trading at a high. That is one possibility for canceling the IPO as the announcement did not clearly explain and only cited "market conditions".
The other possibility is that it is premature to list CDG Australia when there is good growth in next few years. Better to list it at higher valuations later. Again, we don't know for sure but definitely, the question to CDG board will arise from analysts or at AGM.

My stand is : With the entire world's stock market so heated up at this stage, if the response to this Zoom Bee's Australian IPO was poor, it only showed that even the Australians were not impressed by its business. It is like a hum with rotten meat inside.
The NZ business was propagated to be such a big achievement but it is in reality worth only $2.5m per year for 8 years only. Of course, you might see more businesses coming if it starts bidding for $1 profits all over the world.

I can ask you the same question, Conman. You were singing the merits of not spinning off CDG Australia.

So Guru, what is your stand now? Listing is good or no good? Either way is good meh?
If this Zoom Bee's Australian business is so good, why was the response to the IPO poor?

The ASX listing was announced on 16 Aug. CDG was trading at $1.67 then. The next day after announcement, price fell to $1.62.
Maybe price will go up tmr after cancellation of the ASX listing 😁

Indicative IPO response probably not good, hence shelving the listing. Or board had change of mind and decided to retain the fast growing Australia/NZ business under CDG core business. Either way, it looks bad on CDG board.
A quarterly update is due this week. Outlook is favorable with VTLs increasing in countries and daily quotas, plus likely resumption of on-site work by Dec. Wait for MTF announcement as soon as this Friday or next Friday.
