Grab Holdings Ltd represents a reduce based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Grab Holdings Ltd receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 46.2/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #2612 out of 7,333 stocks. GRAB's factor profile shows weakness across multiple dimensions, suggesting the stock may underperform going forward. Existing holders may want to consider trimming positions or tightening stop-losses.
GRAB's quality score of 44/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of -2.7% (sector avg: 5.7%), gross margins of 41.8% (sector avg: 64.6%), net margins of -5.7% (sector avg: 2.8%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
With a value score of 33/100, GRAB appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/B ratio of 0.76x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
With an investment score of 58/100, GRAB exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 18.6% vs. a sector average of 8.6% and a return on assets of -6.8% (sector: 2.4%). The company appears to be balancing growth investments with capital returns, though the pace of investment may not be enough to accelerate top-line growth meaningfully.
GRAB demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 51/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at 18.6% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.44 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Moderate momentum may indicate the stock is consolidating or transitioning between trends, warranting close monitoring of upcoming catalysts.
With a stability score of 63/100, GRAB exhibits average financial resilience. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.44 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 2.00x (sector avg: 0.3x). While the balance sheet is not a major concern, the stock is subject to typical market volatility and may experience sharper drawdowns during risk-off episodes.
The short interest score of 42/100 for GRAB suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include above-average market sensitivity (beta: 1.44). With a $18.7B market cap (large-cap), Grab Holdings Ltd may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
Grab Holdings Ltd is a large-cap company in the Services sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #2612 of 7,333 overall (64th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -2.7% trailing the 5.7% sector median and operating margins of -6.0% below the 4.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Services peers.

Indonesia's newly launched sovereign wealth fund, Danantara Indonesia, is reportedly in early discussions to acquire a minority stake in the potential combined entity resulting from Grab's proposed buyout of GoTo. This move could help alleviate Indonesian government concerns about Singapore-headquartered Grab owning the country's largest tech firm. The deal, which could value GoTo at around $7 billion, has slowed due to potential regulatory demands, and Indonesia's antitrust regulator is also researching risks associated with the merger.
