What Comfortdelgro does

Singapore's largest land transport operator, running taxis, buses and car rentals across Singapore, UK, Australia and China.

Public-transport contracts, where an authority pays the operator a fee to run bus and rail services rather than relying on fares alone, carry the company, including Singapore bus packages and London routes through its Metroline unit. Taxi and private-hire fares and vehicle rentals are a smaller line that faces ride-hailing apps.

In one line: Singapore's largest land transport operator - taxis, buses and car rentals globally.

Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal).
