Grab reported second-quarter 2026 earnings per share of $0.06, more than tripling the consensus estimate of $0.0138 — a beat of roughly 335%. A significant portion of that outperformance was driven by a one-time $307 million gain tied to the consolidation of Indonesia's Superbank, so investors should weigh the headline EPS figure against the underlying operating picture. Revenue came in at $997 million, edging past the $990 million estimate by less than 1%.
The operating story was nevertheless solid. Adjusted EBITDA rose 54% year over year, and the adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 16.9% from 13.3%, signaling that Grab's cost discipline is holding even as it grows. Financial Services was the standout segment, with revenue up 59%, reflecting the company's push to deepen its fintech footprint across Southeast Asia.
