Grab Holdings Ltd.’s ability to cut costs and edge out rivals in Southeast Asia’s ride-hailing arena helped push its share performance above global peers this quarter, with some analysts citing further gains ahead.

Brokers are rushing to lift the Singapore-based firm’s price target, with Evercore ISI International Ltd. among those citing increased profit as it benefits from scale. Operating profit is expected to reach $6.5 million in the current quarter, according to data compiled by Bloomberg, compared with a $38 million loss in the preceding three months.
