Grab Q2 profit surges to $235m on higher finance income

This includes a $307m gain from the consolidation of Superbank.

Grab Holdings Limited’s profit for the second quarter of 2026 increased to $235m, from $20m a year earlier.

The increase was mainly driven by a $334m rise in finance income, including a one-off $307m gain from the consolidation of Indonesia’s Superbank, as well as a $66m favourable movement in income tax expense.

This was partly offset by a $183m increase in fair-value losses on financial assets and liabilities.

Revenue rose 22% year-on-year to $997m, whilst operating profit increased to $19m from $7m.

On-Demand gross merchandise value grew 21% to $6.5b, whilst monthly transacting users increased 17% to 53.9 million.

Adjusted EBITDA rose 54% to $168m, with the adjusted EBITDA margin widening to 16.9% from 13.3% a year earlier.

Separately, Grab’s board authorised a new share-repurchase programme of up to $750m.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
