Grab Holdings Limited Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Factors Likely to Have Influenced GRAB's Q1 Performance

We expect Grab's performance in the to-be-reported quarter to have been significantly impacted by the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and supply-chain disruptions, which are likely to have materially affected GRAB’s performance in the March-end quarter.

On the contrary, the top line is expected to have been boosted by an increase in deliveries, supported by the growth in On-Demand (Gross Merchandise Value) GMV and Advertising business revenues. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues from deliveries is currently pegged at $521 million for the first quarter of 2026, which implies a 25.5% increase from year-ago actuals.

Growth in the mobility and financial services segments is likely to have contributed to the overall results. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Mobility revenues is pegged at $339 million, reflecting a 20.2% increase from first-quarter 2025 actuals. It places Financial Services revenues at $124.65 million, marking a 66.2% year-over-year rise.

Highlights of GRAB’s Q4 Results

Grab reported breakeven earnings in the fourth quarter of 2025, in contrast to the Zacks Consensus Estimate and the year-ago reported figure of 1 cent per share.

Quarterly revenues of $906 million missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $933.4 million but improved 19% year over year on a reported basis or 17% on a constant currency basis. The upside was owing to growth across the company’s On-Demand and Financial Services segments.
