TIVP076: GRAB HOLDINGS (GRAB): WHY UBER SURRENDERED SOUTHEAST ASIA W/ DANIEL MAHNCKE & SHAWN O’MALLEY
10 June 2026
Shawn O’Malley and Daniel Mahncke explore Grab Holdings (ticker: GRAB). Learn how Grab was able to quickly grow across eight countries in Southeast Asia, and what local adaptations they made to outmaneuver Uber, which eventually ceded its entire market share to Grab.
Despite Grab’s astronomical successes, the company’s stock is down 70% since IPO, and investors are wondering if perhaps now is finally a good entry point after the company reached its first full year of profitability. Shawn and Daniel discuss and estimate Grab’s intrinsic value, plus so much more!
