Grab Holdings reported strong Q4 fiscal 2023 results with significant revenue growth and a positive EPS, alongside announcing a $500 million share buyback program. However, its FY24 revenue outlook is below consensus, affecting investor sentiment.
Despite exceeding Q4 revenue and EPS estimates and announcing a significant share buyback program, Grab's stock price declined due to a FY24 revenue outlook that did not meet consensus expectations. This mix of positive and negative news creates uncertainty about the short-term stock price direction, but the lower-than-expected outlook is likely to have a more immediate negative impact.
