Transport giant ComfortDelGro Corp is rallying on the stock market, with bullish sentiment driving its share price on an almost continuous trek northwards since the year started.
From below $2.20 in January, the stock price has climbed to breach $2.60 last week - almost a two-year high. The counter has posted a 20 per cent gain from the start of the year, outperforming the Straits Times Index, which chalked up a 10 per cent rise in the same period.
