What Happened
Southeast Asias ride-hailing and delivery super-app completed the largest SPAC merger in history at $40B. Investors lost over 50% as the company struggled with profitability in low-margin businesses.
Grab merged with Altimeter Growth Corp in December 2021 — the largest SPAC deal ever at $39.6B enterprise value. The $4.5B trust was the biggest ever raised. Grab is the dominant ride-hailing, delivery, and fintech platform across Southeast Asia (Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, etc.). Despite market dominance, the stock dropped 50% from its $10 SPAC price as investors questioned when the company would turn profitable. It finally achieved profitability in Q3 2023. An $80M class action settlement was paid in 2025 for misleading investors about its financial outlook.
