BofA says Grab still has juice left

BofA isn’t waving Grab off the dance floor

BofA Securities just stuck with its Buy rating on Grab and kept the price target at $6.20. That’s a polite Wall Street way of saying, “We still like the setup, even if the road is a little bumpy.”

For Grab shareholders, the math is pretty straightforward: when a big bank says a stock that’s trading around $4.02 could be worth $6.20, it’s basically handing you a fresh upside carrot. Not a guarantee, obviously — just the kind of thing that can keep the bulls caffeinated.

Why investors care

This isn’t happening in a vacuum. Grab has also been busy on the corporate chessboard:

• it plans to repurchase up to $400 million of Class A shares
• it’s moving ahead with a $600 million buy of Delivery Hero’s foodpanda business in Taiwan
• it’s been talking up revenue growth and profitability, which is the magical combo every internet platform wants to brag about

So the story here is less “one analyst has an opinion” and more “the market keeps getting reasons to think Grab is building real leverage.”

The big picture

Analyst calls alone don’t move mountains, but they do matter when they echo a larger theme: Grab is trying to look less like a cash-burning app and more like a company with actual operating muscle. If that keeps up, the stock may have more room to chase the target — and maybe a little less drama along the way.

Big picture: BofA’s call adds fuel to the idea that Grab’s setup still looks favorable, even after a busy stretch of buybacks, M&A, and investor hand-wringing.
