By

-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

Grab posted strong Q1 2026 results with revenue of $955M (+24% Y/Y) and net profit of $120M vs. $10M in the prior year, marking the second consecutive quarter of GAAP profitability. Adjusted EBITDA surged 46% Y/Y to $154M, with margin expanding 250 bps to 16.2%, demonstrating operating leverage in all segments including Mobility GMV growth of 23% and Deliveries GMV expansion of 25%. Key strategic milestones include securing Singapore's inaugural cross-border ride-hail license for the Singapore-Johor corridor and announcing its first international expansion through the acquisition of Taiwan's foodpanda. Executing $500M in share repurchases reflects management's confidence. Management maintained full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $4.04B-$4.10B and $700M-$720M in Adjusted EBITDA, which in our view, indicates confidence in sustained momentum. Financial Services revenue grew 43% to $107M with loan portfolio more than doubling to $1.4B, while strong advertising monetization led Deliveries profitability improvements.
