Grab's AI, Robotics Push Expected to Strengthen Market Lead -- Market Talk

0821 GMT - Grab's plans to integrate AI and robotics into its operations are expected to solidify its market lead in Southeast Asia, Morningstar analyst Kai Wang says in a note. Gross merchandise value in Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand is projected to grow at 20% into 2026, with Indonesia and Singapore in the teens, Wang says. The company has signaled a push into autonomous driving, which could expand long-term margins, but near-term unit economics should stay the same, as large-scale EV deployment remains years away given less attractive cost savings. Morningstar keeps its fair value estimate unchanged at $5.60, citing uncertain short-term cost benefits from adopting autonomous-driving technology. Grab's ADRs last closed at $5.88.
