Consolidated fair value $5.22 all other verticals held in this portfolio case
Final-quarter revenue $364M 15% of company revenue
Explicit segment contribution $262M EBITDA less segment capex, before corporate items

Management's own published destination: $1.5bn of Adjusted EBITDA in 2028 on a 20% 2025-2028 revenue CAGR. From FY2025's $3,370m that implies about $5.82bn of FY2028 revenue and a roughly 25.8% Adjusted EBITDA margin against 16.9% in the basis quarter. These deltas reach $5.89bn and $1.51bn, so the case is honest arithmetic rather than a headline. Two things it does not achieve. The target was set on 11 February 2026 and was not repeated on the Q2 2026 call in either of two independent transcripts. And the 80% conversion attached to it is conversion of a company-defined Adjusted Free Cash Flow that adds back loan-book growth, not of free cash flow as this model computes it. Fair value $5.22.

GrabFin plus three Digibanks - GXS Bank (Singapore), GXBank (Malaysia) and Superbank (Indonesia) - lending into the Grab ecosystem. $134m of revenue, +59% YoY, and still $(15)m at the segment line. The gross loan portfolio reached $2,318m and customer deposits $2.5bn. This is the fastest-growing and only loss-making segment, and the one whose perimeter keeps changing, so it runs on a growth driver rather than a volume-times-price one.

Assumptions & reasoning

  • No unit driver is defensible here. Revenue per dollar of gross loan portfolio collapsed from 12.0% in Q1 2025 to 5.78% in the basis quarter as the book outgrew the revenue, and the metric itself changed basis mid-window: the Q2 and Q3 2025 releases report a net loan portfolio, the Q1 and Q2 2026 releases a gross one with restated comparatives. The $2,318m book is recorded as an observation, not a multiplier.
  • The perimeter moved twice inside the window. Superbank consolidated from June 2026, so only one month of it is in the basis quarter, and Stash closed on 1 July 2026 and consolidates only from Q3 2026. Neither contribution has been sized by the company, so the Q3 2026 step is not inside the 8% growth rate; it is an unpriced upside flagged here instead of hidden.
  • Grab publishes no revenue split between lending, payments, insurance and banking net interest income, and none has been created here. The segment is modelled as one line because that is the only way it is reported.
  • Credit cost, not revenue, is what stands between this segment and its guided H2 2026 breakeven. Net impairment losses on financial assets more than doubled YoY to $72m on Digibank expected credit losses, plus a separate $15m day-one expected credit loss on the acquired Superbank portfolio that Adjusted EBITDA adds back.
  • Loan-book growth is why Grab's Adjusted Free Cash Flow and this site's free cash flow diverge: the company adds back $177m of loan-receivable growth in the quarter and this model does not model the book at all. The gap widens as the book grows.
