Grab Holdings (GRAB)
watchlist
reported Q3 results before the US open on 2026-11-03 . The stock closed at US$2.86 immediately before the release, then US$3.12 on the earnings day and US$3.36 the following session—an approximately 17.48% two-session move, calculated from the reported closes.

As of 2026-11-05 :

30-day IV: 63.26% — high in absolute terms for a stock option.
IV percentile: 50.60% — essentially around the middle of its own trailing IV distribution, rather than near an extreme.
IV/HV ratio: 1.25x — implied volatility is 25% above historical realized volatility, so options still embed a volatility premium.
Call/put ratio: 2.71 — call activity is materially greater than put activity, consistent with bullish/speculative positioning following the price jump.
The chain’s stated expected move is about US$0.26 , or 7.76% of the curre

Grab, the Southeast Asian giant is growing exponentially. The Guru's Verdict For months, the market voted against Grab based on macro noise and sentiment. This week, Wall Street finally put the stock on the scales and realised just how well Grab's business is doing.
