Grab Holdings looks set to move toward cashflow breakeven in 2H2024 having hit adjusted EBITDA breakeven in 3Q2023 as it successfully struck a delicate balance between growth and profitability.
The sale of 75% of Tokopedia by GoTo may mean more intense competition in Indonesia as it focuses on online delivery services but Grab is well-positioned to deal with this.
2024 will see the potential completion of the Transcab deal plus a potential acquisition in food delivery increasing scale and competitiveness. Valuations are attractive relative to growth and financial position.
