SGA - Emerging Markets Growth Hrishikesh Gupta | “Grab Holdings was a detractor during the quarter despite delivering solid Q3 results and raising full-year revenue guidance. The results were balanced across user and transaction growth, revenues, and margins, with growth in gross merchandise value and monthly transacting users accelerating from last quarter. At the segment level growth was solid in mobility and deliveries, but challenges in its newer fintech segment persisted as operating losses increased due to higher provisions. Management guided for the fintech segment to breakeven by the second half of 2026, and although we remain uncertain about the timeline, rumors of a potential merger with competitor GoTo would expand the size of Grab's user base and fintech opportunity. We believe Grab's delivery and ridesharing businesses remain well positioned for predictable growth and margin expansion opportunities supported by the company's strong brand, diversified platform, and scale advantages. We expect Grab to deliver high-teens revenue growth over the next three years as the company continues to improve efficiency and expand monetization opportunities. We added to the position during the quarter, maintaining an average weight. BSD Analysis: Grab is Southeast Asia's default operating system for mobility, food, and payments, not just a ride-hailing app. Its real moat isn't pricing or promos anymore — it's ecosystem density in markets where logistics and trust are hard to build from scratch. Investors fixate on past cash burn and miss how brutally the company has tightened cost discipline without breaking engagement. Mobility is profitable, delivery is rationalizing, and fintech quietly improves unit economics across the stack. Scale matters more in emerging markets because fragmentation is the enemy, and Grab has already won distribution. Regulatory noise is constant but tends to entrench incumbents rather than dislodge them. This is platform infrastructure coming out of its adolescence phase. When profitability replaces growth theater, reratings tend to follow fast.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
Contrarius Global Equity Fund Waystone Management Company (IE) Limited | “Grab maintains overwhelming dominance in Southeast Asian mobility and food delivery, with its nearest competitors holding minor fractions of the market. Having significantly reduced its historical promotional spend, the company's core operations have achieved positive adjusted EBITDA, leaving long-term growth to be driven by its underpenetrated financial services segment.” | BULL | Q1 2023 Mar 31, 2023 | View Pitch |
