Grab Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: GRAB) Securities Fraud Class Action:
The litigation focuses on Grab’s statements concerning the sustainability of its growth and business prospects leading up to and after Grab went public through a SPAC merger in Dec. 2021.
More specifically, Grab has touted that it “had the largest on-demand driver supply network,” emphasized the company’s dramatic growth in the food delivery, digital payments, ride-hailing and financial services areas through its “super app,” and highlighted its huge opportunity to grow further in the firm’s core businesses in Southeast Asia and other regions.
The complaint alleges Defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Grab’s driver supply declined during the third quarter; (2) as a result, Grab continued to invest heavily in driver and consumer incentives to “preemptively recalibrate driver supply”; and, (3) as a result, the company’s financial results would be adversely impacted, including, among other things, a significant decline in revenue.
Investors learned the truth, according to the complaint, on Mar. 3, 2022, when Grab announced dismal Q4 2021 financial results, including a 44% decline in Q4 revenue from the prior year’s quarter, and a whopping quarterly loss of $1.1 billion. Management blamed the results on the company having to increase spending to offer higher commissions to attract drivers and greater incentives to users and partners.
“We’re focused on investors’ losses and proving Grab embellished its growth prospects and failed to disclose known trends,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
