Profit from $PLTR (-3,33%) first partly used for additional purchase of $GRAB (+1,66%) used😬 sell-off a bit exaggerated in my opinion 😅 the figures were very good, probably due to the outlook 🤷🏼‍♂️

Grab Holdings ($GRAB (+1,66%) ) is the leading provider of ride-hailing, food delivery and digital financial services in Southeast Asia. With a wide range of services, the company has established itself as a "super app" and has become an essential part of daily life in many Southeast Asian countries. However, after strong growth and an IPO, the stock has gone through a difficult phase - but is Grab on track to become a turnaround story in 2025?

Overview: What does Grab do?

Grab is active in several business areas:

✅ Ride-hailing: Grab is the market leader in the ride-hailing sector and competes with Uber in Southeast Asia. In addition to passenger transportation, Grab also offers delivery services for parcels.

✅ Food delivery (GrabFood)With GrabFood, the company has a strong position in the food delivery business, especially in cities such as Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia. The business is growing steadily, especially during the pandemic.

✅ GrabPay and financial servicesGrab has also positioned itself in digital financial services, with GrabPay, a mobile payment platform, and a range of loans and insurance for its customers.

Competition: Who are the competitors?

🔸 Gojek (now part of Tokopedia) $GOTO : The biggest competitor in the ride-hailing and food delivery industry in Indonesia and other Southeast Asian markets.

🔸 Uber $UBER (-2,45%) Also active in Southeast Asia, particularly in the Philippines and Vietnam. Uber continues to be a significant competitor in the ride-hailing segment.

Correction: Uber is no longer directly active, but rather an indirect beneficiary of Grab's development through its shareholding..

🔸 Foodpanda $DHER (-3,81%) : A strong competitor in the food delivery sector in several countries, including Grab's main markets.

🔸 Ant Group (Alipay)
$9988 (+6,06%) and PayPal $PYPL (-2,73%) competitors in the field of digital payments and FinTech services.

Opportunities: Why could Grab make a comeback in 2025?

✅ Leading market position: Grab is well established in Southeast Asia, with a broad user base and a strong brand. This position could protect the company in the long term.

✅ Expansion potential in the FinTech sector: GrabPay and other financial services continue to be a valuable source of revenue. Grab could further expand its FinTech business as the region continues to offer great potential for digital payments and banking services.

✅ Growth in the food delivery business: The trend towards online delivery services continues to grow. GrabFood could gain even more market share, especially through partnerships with local restaurants and expanded services.

✅ Synergies from the super app strategy: Grab offers not only transportation and delivery, but also financial services and entertainment. This integration of services creates a strong ecosystem for users and partners.

Risks: What could continue to burden Grab?

⚠️ Strong competition: There are already strong local and international competitors in financial services.

⚠️ High losses and high expensesGrab has repeatedly made losses in the past. Sustainable growth and a return to profitability remain a major challenge, especially in view of the high operating costs.

⚠️ Regulatory risks: Like many companies in the region, Grab has to deal with changing and strict regulatory requirements, particularly in the FinTech and ride-hailing sectors.

⚠️ Macroeconomic uncertainties: Economic uncertainty in Southeast Asia, ongoing political tensions and the impact of the pandemic could weigh on business.

Conclusion: Can Grab achieve a turnaround?

Grab has the potential to remain a major player in Southeast Asia if it can overcome competitive challenges while increasing growth in its various business segments. Especially the FinTech-expansion and the synergies as a super appcould be decisive in the long term.

For investors who believe in the potential of Southeast Asia and have a long-term perspective, Grab could be an exciting turnaround candidate for 2025.

What do you think? Does Grab have what it takes to make a comeback in 2025 and remain successful in the long term?

Greetings.

I'm currently somewhat liquid again and looking around for opportunities.

The FOMO has really hit me hard and is making me very unhappy. But I'm sure a few more opportunities will come up.

Why?

I've been on the stock market since 04/2024 (very short-term) and have had a few companies on my radar since then. On the one hand $HIMS (-26,15%) which I was advised against by some analyses (price at around €13)

Then it was $1810 (+2,88%) Xiaomi at €2.80

I bought a cell phone from Xiaomi 3 years ago and was more than impressed. But I didn't buy it because I read that it was stupid to invest in Chinese companies.

At $PLTR (-3,33%) I waited for a correction at €17 and then unfortunately missed the train completely and lost sight of it.

The last one was $RKT RocketLab, which I took a look at at €10. I assumed that they had no future here, as Space X would take over the market as a more than major competitor.

$MC (+0,4%) I actually missed out on this too, as the share price rose faster than I would have liked.

I was on the verge of investing in all 5 and blocked myself from doing so. That's why it really hurts to see other people's returns and not have done it. (I wish everyone here all the best) That's what the community is for.

The pain will remain, but I am currently looking to the future.

My current watchlist consists of:

$AMD (-2,29%) I am still waiting for a bottom to form here. But I don't think it will fall significantly. With the new Playstation and the huge demand that Nvidia cannot meet on its own and the decreasing competition from Intel, I think it is very interesting.

Target price to buy/tranche at €105 or €115, depending on how it develops.

$GRAB (+1,66%) I wanted to get in here a few days ago and suddenly the +15% came.

In my opinion, it has a lot of potential and is very well known in certain regions. Competition is also limited and Uber is not interested in the market.

Target price to buy/tranche at 5€

$RKLB (-6,21%) will hopefully come back to €20. That's where I would get in. I see a lot of opportunities for Space in the long term, as it could be a future trend.

$MELI (-4,31%) If it corrects again and at $NU (-11,11%) I am currently waiting again.

Also exciting is $SUNN (-2,87%) or $BABA (+5,86%)

What is your opinion? And what is on your watchlist and when would you buy? I find what you have on your radar pretty exciting at the moment.

Sea Limited ($SE (-2,53%) ) is a versatile company from Singapore that has developed a super app has built a strong ecosystem of e-commerce, gaming and FinTech. After explosive growth in recent years and a subsequent fall in the share price, many investors are asking themselves: Does Sea Ltd still have potential for a turnaround?

Overview: What does Sea Limited do?

Sea Limited is active in three core areas:

✅ Shopee (e-commerce): One of the largest e-commerce platforms in Southeast Asia, Taiwan and Brazil. Competition for Alibaba (Lazada), Tokopedia and MercadoLibre.

✅ Garena (Gaming): Developer of the globally successful mobile game Free Fire. Formerly the engine of growth, now weakening.

✅ SeaMoney (FinTech): Digital financial services, including lending and payment processing, strongly integrated into Shopee.

Sea Limited pursues a vertical business model where the different divisions reinforce each other - Shopee drives SeaMoney, while Garena used to deliver high profits to fund expansions.

Competition: Who are the competitors?

🔸 Alibaba $BABA (+5,86%)
(Lazada.) & Tokopedia - Strong e-commerce competition in Southeast Asia.

🔸 Amazon
$AMZN (-2,39%) - A growing threat, especially in markets such as Brazil

🔸 MercadoLibre $MELI (-4,31%) - The market leader in Latin America and a direct opponent in Brazil.

🔸 Tencent $TCEHY (+2,81%)
& NetEase
$NTES (+2,07%) - Strong competition in the gaming segment, especially in China.

🔸 Revolut, Grab $GRAB (+1,66%)
& Ant Group - FinTech competitors that offer similar services.

Opportunities: Why could Sea Limited be a comeback story?

✅ E-commerce remains strong: Shopee remains the market leader in several Asian countries. Despite economic uncertainties, online retail is growing in the long term.

✅ SeaMoney as a silent winner: The FinTech segment is growing steadily and can become a new source of income for Sea Ltd through digital payment services and loans.

✅ Profitability focus: After years of aggressive growth with high losses, the company is now focusing more on cost reductions and profitability - a sign that Sea Ltd wants to operate more sustainably.

✅ Expansion in Latin America: Shopee has grown particularly strongly in Brazil. If the company can establish itself there permanently, that would be a big plus.

✅ Gaming as untapped potential: If Free Fire stabilizes or Sea Ltd develops new successful games, Garena could become a growth driver again.

Risks: What could continue to weigh on Sea Limited?

⚠️ Declining gaming sales:
Free Fire was once the biggest profit generator, but user numbers are falling. Without a new hit, Garena could continue to weaken.

⚠️ Competitive pressure in e-commerce: Alibaba, Tokopedia and Amazon are putting massive pressure on Sea Ltd in Asia and Latin America. Defending market share will be expensive.

⚠️ Regulatory risks: In Asia in particular, there are always new regulations for FinTechs and online retailers that could slow down Sea Ltd's growth.

⚠️ Macroeconomic uncertainties: Rising interest rates and weak consumer behavior could have a negative impact on business - both in e-commerce and in the lending business.

⚠️ Cost cutting vs. growth: Sea Ltd is trying to become more profitable while expanding into new markets. The balancing act between growth and cost control is not easy.

Conclusion: turnaround opportunity or value trap?

Sea Limited is still one of the most exciting technology companies in Asia. The focus on profitability is positive, but success depends heavily on whether the company can stabilize its gaming division and defend Shopee against the competition.

Those who believe in the long-term potential of the Southeast Asian market and are prepared to accept short-term volatility could find a promising turnaround in Sea Ltd could be a promising turnaround opportunity.

What do you think? Is Sea Limited on its way to a comeback or is it still a risky bet?🚀

Does anyone know why Grab has been falling for 4 weeks? It doesn't look like a normal correction to me. But I have not been able to find out anything so far.

After traveling on the Asian continent for over half a year, including with $GRAB (+1,66%) and there was something from $SE (-2,53%) on every corner, I'm bringing a little Asian flair into my depot.
