Bolt Stock Rises 2% on Malaysia Ride-Hailing Growth Surge
Bolt's shares climbed 2% following a 40% quarterly ride growth in Malaysia, marking one of its fastest Asian market expansions. The mobility platform's Klang Valley launch in late 2024 gained traction through toll integrations and premium ride features, driving a 25% increase in driver partners.
