      I find the food delivery war in China both intriguing and alarming. While cheap meals like 4-yuan Luckin Coffee are great for consumers now, history shows these subsidy wars usually end with price hikes once one player dominates. The 2015 ride-hailing battle is a clear example — capital eventually demands returns, and consumers pay the price. If a similar war happened in Singapore between Grab and foodpanda, we might enjoy discounts short-term, but risk losing competition long-term. Grab already controls 63% of the market, so dominance could lead to higher prices and less innovation if foodpanda can't keep up. As an investor, I'm cautious about food delivery companies like JD, Meituan, or Grab. Margins are thin, losses are high, and even Amazon exited the business. Without a clear path to

      🌟🌟🌟Competition versus Monopoly - Which is better for consumers?  I believe that overall a competitive market structure tends to serve consumers better.  The main reasons are lower prices, encouraging innovation and providing  diverse product choices. Competition between Meituan and JD.com is good for consumers as it means lower prices or food discounts .  If Meituan does not have any competition, there is no incentive for them to innovate and try harder . The same thing goes for Grab and Food Panda . Market thrives on competition like everything else in life .  It brings out  the best in everything we do . @Tiger_SG @Tiger_comments

      Competition always brings benefits to customers. I am actually very often ordering food delivery.  For me personally, I would prefer to grab rather than foodpanda after years of using it before switching to grab. The main point of the changes was that foodpanda never took the customer complaint seriously.  I had a lot of unhappy experiences with foodpanda, and I believe it is not only me because I saw many complaints about foodpanda in the newspaper. The delivery fee for Grab is more expensive than foodpanda but is worth it. Their service is consistent, and they pay attention to their customer. Sooner or later, foodpanda will be replaced by grab even with or without a price war.  I always believe that if a company provides good service and pays attention to the customer , pe

      Consumers might think they are gaining better deals from the price wars but who can run a losing business in the long run. The platform will just push the overheads onto delivery guys and food businesses. You get lower quality food delivered by highly dissatisfied or burnt out delivery folks. Just pay a fair price. If you are so upset by the prices, get off your posterior and go purchase the food yourself.

      I think the consumers will benefit if they start a price war, thus the price will be lower. However, it will not be good news to both the investors and the delivery guys and gals who are bearing all the heat and rain on the roads. This will cause the food delivery sector to shut down soon as no one wants to become the delivery guys and gals anymore. In the end, all parties will suffer due to the price war. I would rather both companies have a formula to generate the extra incomes and gather the stalls who are willing to support them instead of fighting a price war.

      Burning cash is worth it only in the only days as a form of advertisement and to get consumers to stick to the platform. With time, many consumers already have their preferred platform and such strategy is only useful to onboard new consumers. The determining factors for most consumers is whether they shop that they want is on the platform and cost of the items and delivery fees. Competition is always better for consumers. We all hope for wider range, faster delivery, cheaper fees and less mark up for the item on the platform. I don’t like grab as it has not generated much revenue yet.

      Can Grab Live Up To Earnings Expectation Of Continued Solid Top-Line Growth?

      First, to confirm the timing: $Grab Holdings(GRAB)$ is indeed scheduled to announce its first-quarter 2025 results after the U.S. market closes on Tuesday, 29 April 2025. I do have a position in Grab in other account. The conference call for management discussion will follow at 8:00 PM U.S. Eastern Time that day (which is 8:00 AM Singapore Time on Wednesday, 30 April 2025). Revenue: Expected to be around $761 million to $767 million. This signifies a solid year-over-year increase of approximately 17%. Earnings Per Share (EPS): Forecasts center around $0.00 to $0.01 (consensus ~$0.006). This marks a significant improvement from the net loss per share in Q1 2024 and reflects Grab's push towards profitability. Grab Holdings (GRAB) Last Positive Earni

      $Grab Holdings Ltd( $Grab Holdings(GRAB)$ )$ Grab’s upcoming earnings report is shaping up to be a blockbuster moment for the Southeast Asian superapp. Last time around, the stock took a 10% nosedive despite a robust 17% year-over-year revenue jump in Q4. Why the sour mood? The market wasn’t impressed—Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) missed Bloomberg’s forecast by 1.24%, and EBITDA fell short by 3%. Add in FY 2025 revenue guidance that didn’t dazzle, and it’s clear Grab has some convincing to do. With earnings dropping this Tuesday, the stakes are high. Can Grab flex stronger profitability?

      $Grab Holdings(GRAB)$   As an investor observing Grab Holdings, I am considering their earnings release tomorrow, April 29, 2025. Their stock dropped significantly last earnings day, but I am pleased with the solid Q4 revenue growth. However, their 2025 revenue guidance fell short, with key metrics missing forecasts, indicating the market was overly optimistic. This suggests Grab is growing but not meeting high expectations, which could lead to challenges. I am cautiously hopeful about Grab demonstrating strong profitability in this earnings report. They have made progress toward profits recently and are reducing costs, which I believe is positive. However, their financial services segment is still experiencing
