Analysis
Grab Holdings Ltd. has demonstrated a substantial improvement in its financial performance for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, moving from a net loss of $158 million in 2024 to a net profit of $200 million. This positive shift is underpinned by robust revenue growth of 20% and a significant increase in Adjusted EBITDA to $500 million. The company's core deliveries and mobility segments, along with its expanding financial services, contributed to a 21% rise in on-demand Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) and a 14% increase in Monthly Transacting Users (MTUs). Furthermore, the board's authorization of a new $500 million share repurchase program signals confidence in the company's financial health and commitment to shareholder returns. Investors should note the proposed increase in Class B share voting power, which consolidates control with the CEO, a move the company states is necessary for regulatory compliance related to its digital banking joint venture.
