The Oey 2028 case, 20 quarters out
Model as of
Each segment is projected from its own operating driver, rolled up into consolidated cash flow, and discounted back to a fair value per share. The assumptions below are editable — change them and every number on this page moves with them.
Grab's segment disclosure carries this model further than most. Every quarter it publishes Deliveries, Mobility, Financial Services and Others revenue, and those four lines sum to consolidated revenue with zero residual in each of the six quarters from 2025 Q1 to 2026 Q2 - no segment here is derived by subtraction, and no split has been invented. Deliveries and Mobility also publish GMV and Segment Adjusted EBITDA, so both On-Demand verticals run on a disclosed volume times a disclosed monetisation rate: units are millions of dollars of GMV and price per unit is revenue per $1m of GMV. Financial Services cannot be modelled that way. Its perimeter changed twice inside the window - Superbank consolidated in June 2026, Stash from Q3 2026 - the loan-portfolio metric switched from net to gross between the Q3 2025 and Q1 2026 releases, and revenue per dollar of loan book fell from 12.0% to 5.8% as the book outgrew the revenue. It gets a growth driver with the $2,318m book recorded as an observation. What this model calls EBITDA is Grab's Adjusted EBITDA exactly: the four Segment Adjusted EBITDA lines less the single unallocated regional corporate cost line, which reproduces the reported $168m in the June quarter ($96m + $191m - $15m - $0m - $104m). Read the exit multiple against that, and read it knowing Adjusted EBITDA adds back $62m of quarterly share-based compensation - roughly $250m a year of real dilution this model never charges, on a share count held flat even though Grab is buying stock back. Two further boundaries. Net cash is $2,887m, not the company-defined $5.4bn of net cash liquidity: $2,513m of that funds bank customer deposits, which are a liability to depositors rather than shareholder cash, and using the company figure would add about $0.62 a share. Capex is the broader $49m from the Adjusted Free Cash Flow reconciliation, not the $28m of property and intangibles in the cash flow statement, and Grab publishes no capex by segment, so the group rate of 4.9% of revenue is applied to the three real verticals and none to Others. foodpanda Taiwan appears only as a $600m cash outflow in 2026 Q4: the price is disclosed and the revenue is not, so it must not become a vertical. Autonomous vehicles are already inside Mobility GMV and get no line either. And the reported profit is not an operating result - $235m of it is $19m of operating profit plus $171m of net finance income containing a one-time $307m Superbank remeasurement gain and a $43m tax credit - which is why the exit is on revenue and why no EPS consensus comparison appears anywhere in this model.

Where each case comes from
Bear case — primary sources
The primary sources this case is built from — filings, calls and posts. Where they are claims by an interested party rather than disclosures, every number in the Bear column is what happens if they are taken at face value.
What the basis quarter actually showed
- Aug 4, 2026 Mobility Segment Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Mobility GMV was 8.6% during the quarter, declining 9bps YoY as we recalibrated incentive spend towards driver-partners to strengthen supply.
- Aug 4, 2026 Operating profit in the second quarter improved $12 million YoY to reach $19 million, while profit for the period was $235 million, growing from $20 million in the prior year period.
Bull case — primary sources

The raise, and what management said was behind it
- Aug 4, 2026 2026 Group Revenue $4.10 billion - $4.15 billion 22% - 23% growth YoY (Previous: $4.04 billion - $4.10 billion 20% - 22% growth YoY)
- Aug 4, 2026 We reiterate our expectation to achieve Segment Adjusted EBITDA breakeven in the second half of 2026 for the overall Financial Services segment.

The 2028 outlook, as published
- Feb 11, 2026 This strong foundation underpins our confidence in our long-term financial outlook, where we expect to generate $1.5 billion in Adjusted EBITDA with an Adjusted Free Cash Flow conversion of 80% by 2028.
- Feb 11, 2026 3 Year Outlook: 2025 - 2028 Group Revenue 20% CAGR, 2028 Adjusted EBITDA $1.5 billion, 2028 Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion 80%.
From cash flow to fair value
The published model, discounted at 11.0% a year with an exit multiple of 2.8x on revenue. The horizon and sliders above do not change this walk.
| Present value of free cash flow, 20 quarters | $3.40B |
| Terminal-year revenue | $9.02B |
| Terminal-year EBITDA | $2.47B |
| Exit multiple, on revenue | 2.8x |
| Terminal value | $25.25B |
| Discounted at 11.0% a year, terminal value becomes | $14.98B |
| Share of enterprise value from the terminal | 81% |
| Enterprise value | $18.39B |
| Net cash | $2.89B |
| Equity value | $21.27B |
| Shares | 4.08B |
| Fair value per share | $5.22 |
| Against the deployed price of $3.11, as of | +68% |
An emerging-market consumer platform on a 1.9% IFRS operating margin with three currencies of translation drag is not a 9% compounder, so the discount rate is 11%. The exit is on revenue because Grab has no P/E path: the basis quarter's $235m of profit is $19m of operating profit plus $171m of net finance income containing a one-time $307m Superbank gain, plus a $43m tax credit. On deposit-adjusted EV of $11,961m the tape is 3.21x TTM revenue of $3,731m, so exiting at 2.5x on a slower terminal year is a mild de-rate. On the company's own $5.4bn net cash liquidity - which does not deduct $2,513m of bank customer deposits - the same tape reads 2.53x, and that difference is the single largest judgement in this valuation.
Read the other way round: at $3.11 the market is paying 1.2x terminal-year revenue, holding every other assumption on this page fixed. That is the number to argue about.
Capex outside the verticals
Each vertical's capex is a share of its own revenue, which is the right shape for capacity that scales with sales. These are not that: fixed-size programmes with their own schedule that spend whether or not any segment grows. They are added on top, and they are why free cash flow dips in the years below.
foodpanda Taiwan acquisition
2026 Q4 → 2026 Q4The $600m all-cash purchase of Delivery Hero's foodpanda Taiwan business, announced 23 March 2026 and guided to close by the end of 2026. It is charged once, in 2026 Q4, and adds no revenue anywhere: Grab has disclosed the price and nothing about the revenue, GMV or EBITDA it buys.

| Date | Fair value then | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-08-27 | $4.42 | First publication, on the 2026 Q2 basis quarter. Four disclosed segments that reconcile to consolidated revenue to the dollar in all six quarters; Deliveries and Mobility on disclosed GMV times disclosed take rate, Financial Services and Others on growth. foodpanda Taiwan is a corporate capital programme, not a vertical. |
