Despite a recent share price increase, Grab's valuation remains a topic of debate, with a fair value estimated at $8.20 compared to its current price of $4.26. The company has shown positive revenue growth and profitability, but its high P/E ratio of 142.7x raises concerns about valuation risks. Investors are encouraged to explore further opportunities in undervalued stocks and resilient companies. Grab Holdings (GRAB) is in focus after Hesai Technology selected the company as its exclusive distributor for lidar products in Southeast Asia, a move tied directly to autonomous mobility and mapping initiatives. See our latest analysis for Grab Holdings. The lidar distribution deal comes as Grab’s share price has faced pressure, with a 30 day share price return of 12.16% and a 90 day share price return of 26.42%. The 3 year total shareholder return of 22.41% contrasts with a 5 year total shareholder return of 69.31%, which hints that longer term sentiment has been mixed even as the business pushes further into autonomous mobility and AI related infrastructure. If this move into AI enabled mobility has your attention, it could be a good moment to scan our screener of 33 AI infrastructure stocks as potential next candidates for your watchlist. With Grab posting positive annual revenue and net income growth, yet carrying a value score of 3 and trading below some analyst targets and intrinsic estimates, you have to ask: is there still mispricing here, or is the market already baking in future growth? ## Most Popular Narrative: 48% Undervalued According to the most followed narrative on Grab Holdings, a fair value of $8.20 sits well above the last close at $4.26, which puts a spotlight on how the business mix and long term growth ambitions are being weighed against today’s price. > *Grab has undergone a dramatic financial transformation.* > > *• Margins: Profit margin hit 3.6% in Q2 2025, up from -8.2% from 2024.* > > *• Revenue: $819M in Q2 2025, +23% YoY. Revenues have compounded at >20% annually for three years.* > > *• Profitability: First GAAP net profit in Q1 2025. Now profitable for two consecutive quarters.* > > *• Balance Sheet: $7.3B cash vs. $1.7B debt, resulting in net cash, with >37% of market cap in liquidity.* > > *• Returns on Capital: ROCE is trending up as Grab transitions from cash-burn to monetisation.* Read the complete narrative. Want to see what kind of revenue compounding and margin lift needs to hold for that valuation to stick? According to BlackGoat, the fair value hinges on ambitious earnings expansion, richer profitability in higher margin segments, and a future earnings multiple usually reserved for market leaders. **Result: Fair Value of $8.20 (UNDERVALUED)** Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts. However, there is still real execution risk here, from thin GAAP margins and heavy share count to any Grab GoTo deal running into drawn out regulatory pushback. Find out about the key risks to this Grab Holdings narrative. ## Another View: Earnings Multiple Sends A Warning The first narrative leans on cash flows and fair value, but the current P/E of 142.7x tells a different story. That is far above the US Transportation industry at 39.2x, the peer average at 38.5x, and even the fair ratio of 29.7x, which suggests meaningful valuation risk if growth or sentiment wobbles. Which signal do you trust more right now: the cash flow model or the earnings multiple?
