Recently, Zacks.com users have been paying close attention to Grab (GRAB). This makes it worthwhile to examine what the stock has in store.
Grab is rated a buy, driven by favorable valuation and recent profitability inflection. GRAB offers instant diversification across eight Southeast Asian economies and multiple business lines: rideshare, delivery, e-commerce, and financial services. Mobility and delivery segments each posted ~20%+ revenue growth, while the financial services division's loan portfolio surged in FY 2025.
GRAB's acquisition of foodpanda Taiwan and fintech platform Stash is expected to be accretive, as they execute their expand and growth strategy through geographic and product offerings. The management has offered a promising FY2028 growth guidance, with it underscoring their multi-year profitable growth prospects beyond current nascent levels. With GRAB set to report their FQ1'26 earnings call, I urge readers to measure their performance against the previously offered FY2026 guidance, with further fintech underperformance likely.
