New York, February 25, 2026, 08:08 EST — Premarket
- GRAB picked up roughly 1.7% ahead of the bell, rebounding after falling for two sessions in a row
- Attention is fixed on 2026 guidance, the buyback plan, and that U.S. fintech acquisition.
- The next big event: shareholders will vote March 24 on proposed modifications to Grab’s dual-class voting setup.
Shares of Grab Holdings Limited (GRAB.O) ticked up around 1.7% to $4.22 in premarket action Wednesday, following a previous close at $4.15.
Grab’s stock has been volatile after the company rolled out its new guidance, buyback plans, and detailed its upcoming acquisition. There’s also a close watch on investor demand for app-based transport and delivery stocks, especially with shares retreating lately.
Grab dropped 0.7% Tuesday, after a 4.6% slump Monday. Trading volume topped 30 million shares both days, Investing.com data showed.
Earlier this month, the Singapore-based group reported fourth-quarter revenue of $906 million, a 19% increase, and on-demand GMV climbed 21% to $6.1 billion. Grab delivered a $153 million profit for the quarter and closed out 2025 with its first-ever full-year net profit. The company also greenlit a fresh $500 million share buyback.
CEO and co-founder Anthony Tan called it “a record fourth quarter” as Grab reported results for 2025. Grab
Grab is projecting 2026 revenue in the $4.04 billion to $4.10 billion range, falling short of the $4.13 billion analyst consensus collected by LSEG. The company expects adjusted EBITDA between $700 million and $720 million. Adjusted EBITDA, as the company defines it, excludes certain items from earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. “We’re going to continue to make our rides affordable,” CFO Peter Oey told Reuters. He also said Grab intends to ramp up investment in its grocery segment. Reuters
Grab is set to acquire U.S. digital investment firm Stash Financial, locking in an enterprise value of $425 million for a 50.1% initial stake. Payment for the remaining shares will be based on fair market value over a three-year span. The company expects to wrap up the deal in the third quarter of 2026, pending regulatory sign-off. Stash brings more than $5 billion in assets under management and counts over a million paying subscribers, according to Grab. “Joining the Grab ecosystem is a validation of that mission,” said Stash co-founder and co-CEO Brandon Krieg.

In a notice filed with the SEC, shareholders were informed of a virtual extraordinary general meeting scheduled for March 24 to consider new articles of association. The key proposal: doubling the voting rights on each Class B share from 45 to 90 votes. Grab pegged Feb. 24 (New York time) as the record date for voting eligibility. According to the board, the move aims to maintain majority Singaporean ownership of its GXS Bank unit—a nod to local regulatory demands. Grab expects to release proxy materials around March 2.
Still, not everything is locked in. The Stash deal awaits regulatory signoff, so any tweaks in timing or how it’s funded might force investors to revisit their projections. As for the main operation, dialing up incentives to maintain low prices might drive more orders, but if that demand lags, margins take a hit.
