Southeast Asia’s Grab (GRAB) rose 1.36% to $3.73 on Monday, extending gains after unveiling 13 AI-powered products for consumers, businesses, and drivers at its annual conference. Trading volume surged 26% above the three-month average to 63.4 million shares, signaling strong investor interest in Grab’s AI-driven growth strategy. The broader market rallied, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq climbing 1.02% and 1.23%, respectively, while ride-hailing peers Uber (+2.64%) and Lyft (+2.80%) also gained. Grab’s stock remains down 25% year-to-date despite its first full-year profit, as 2026 revenue forecasts missed expectations, testing investor confidence. The AI product rollout in Indonesia could be pivotal for Grab’s recovery, with adoption rates under scrutiny as the company seeks to reverse its 69% post-IPO decline.
