Grab Holdings is advancing its efforts to acquire GoTo Group, as reported by various sources familiar with the matter. The Singapore-based company is currently conducting due diligence on GoTo, reviewing financials and exploring potential deal structures. This acquisition could be valued at over $7 billion, which would give the merged entity control of 60-70% of Southeast Asia's on-demand market. Grab has a cash reserve of $6 billion and a market capitalization of $17.5 billion, raising speculation about its intentions following a recent earnings call where no new buyback plans were announced. Meanwhile, shares of GoTo Group have been trending positively amid market fluctuations, reflecting investor optimism regarding the potential merger.
