Taking Partial Profits: Sell a Third of GRAB January 5 Calls (exp. 2027) for $2 or more
We are going to lock in a partial profit on the first piece of our GRAB calls, as GRAB is ALSO an e-commerce play, and I don’t want too much exposure to that group (GRAB mostly operates in Thailand/Cambodia/Indonesia/Vietnam).
To execute this trade you need to:
Sell to Close a Third of your GRAB January 5 Calls
Please note, I think GRAB stock still looks good … however, I am going to lock in a profit on a piece of our trade as I don’t want too much exposure to that region, as well as the sector.

Roll Position: Sell your GRAB January 5 Call (exp. 2026) and Buy the GRAB January 5 Call (exp. 2027).
Nearly every day for the past two weeks traders have been rolling out of GRAB calls expiring in the coming months, and in January 2026, and moving those calls out to January 2027. And while I don’t generally love holding a position for nearly two years, the writing is on the wall when it comes to GRAB that traders see this as a longer-term story.
Let’s follow the option activity and sell out of our January 5 calls expiring in 2026, and move that capital into a buy of January 5 calls expiring in 2027.
To execute this trade you need to:
Sell to Close the GRAB January 5 Call (exp. 2026)
Buy to Open the GRAB January 5 Call (exp. 2027)
Please note, I am buying a full position in the January 2027 calls for around $1.55. This means I will need to put up an additional $0.65 of capital (approximately) when I sell the 2026 calls for $0.90.

Buy the Grab Holdings (GRAB) January 5 Calls (exp. 1/16/2026) for $1.60 or less.
As I wrote earlier this week, GRAB was near the top of my watchlist given the overwhelmingly bullish option activity noted below.
Buyer of 11,000 Grab Holdings (GRAB) January 4 Calls (exp. 2027) for $2.75 – Stock at 5.25
Buyer of 12,000 Grab Holdings (GRAB) July 5.5 Calls for $1.05 – Stock at 5.25
Buyer of 8,000 Grab Holdings (GRAB) July 6 Calls for $0.90 – Stock at 5.25
Buyer of 5,000 Grab Holdings (GRAB) July 5 Calls for $0.85 – Stock at 4.80
Buyer of 10,000 Grab Holdings (GRAB) January 5 Calls (exp. 2027) for $2 – Stock at 4.80
Buyer of 6,000 Grab Holdings (GRAB) January 5.5 Calls for $1.20 – Stock at 4.90
Buyer of 35,000 Grab Holdings (GRAB) July 6 Calls for $0.60 – Stock at 5
Buyer of 15,000 Grab Holdings (GRAB) March 5 Calls for $0.55 – Stock at 5.
The only reason we hadn’t yet bought a position was because earnings were coming very soon, and option prices were through-the-roof expensive. Fast forward a couple days and GRAB pulled back marginally on earnings (fine) and option prices fell (great). Also, this morning JPMorgan upgraded the stock following earnings from Neutral to Overweight, noting the company’s guidance could prove conservative.
Let’s get involved via a longer-term call buy.
To execute this trade you need to:
Buy to Open the GRAB January 5 Calls (exp. 1/16/2026)
The most you can lose on this trade is the premium paid, or $160 per call purchased.
The risks I see in this trade are the following:
First off, this is a speculative stock (somewhat like SOFI) so there are going to be some ups and downs, and if speculative stocks get hit, GRAB will likely also fall.
Second, the market continues to look good one day and then bad the next. And the last two days it’s been not great, so there is general market risk.
Finally, this is a Southeast Asia play, which brings in many other layers of geopolitical risk.
That being said, the option activity is too strong to pass up, the stock looks good, and without a little bit of risk, there can’t be big reward. I’m buying today.
