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.

In addition, there was a big insider buy
Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (TSE:4502/NYSE:TAK) (“Takeda”) announced that its Board of Directors resolved today to engage in the acquisition of its own shares pursuant to the provision of its Articles of Incorporation in accordance with Article 459, paragraph 1 of the Companies Act of Japan, as detailed below.
“At our current share price, we see an opportunity to buy back our shares at a substantial discount to what we perceive is their underlying value,” said Costa Saroukos, director and Chief Financial Officer of Takeda. “We expect that this share buyback of up to 100B yen will not impact our deleveraging plans, and that we will remain firmly on track to deliver on our target for 2x (‘low twos’) net debt to Adjusted EBITDA by the end of FY23. We are also maintaining our existing dividend policy and updating our capital allocation policy to allow for share buybacks in the future when appropriate. This underscores our business’ strong cash generation ability, our confidence in our fundamental growth driven by the 14 global brands, and our belief that the R&D strategy with ~40 new molecular entities in the pipeline, will deliver for the long term.”
This buyback of shares will be funded by Takeda’s operating cash flow driven by growth in our 14 global brands and working capital improvements.
