This couldn’t come at a more opportune time for Grab. Enthusiasm for SPAC mergers is recovering at the moment, and tech stocks in particular remain hot.
While some investors might still be wary of highly valued growth stocks, Grab presents a good option for those seeking exposure to Southeast Asia tech markets. Investors seeking alternatives to mainland Chinese stocks amid the ongoing tech clampdown there might also look towards Grab favourably.
The twentyfold stock price appreciation of e-commerce giant Sea Limited since its IPO in 2017, has also affirmed the potential of the under-represented Southeast Asia market. Grab is the next big tech unicorn from this region, and it might benefit from these supportive trends.
