Grab (GRAB 5.29%), Southeast Asia superapp for mobility and payments, closed Thursday at $4.39, down 5.18%.

What this means for investors
While there was no specific news today to cause the drop in Grab stock, it continues a trend seen over the past week as shares have dropped 10% over the last five trading days and 13% over the past month. Last week, Grab announced the acquisition of Infermove, a Chinese AI robotics firm, to improve its first- and last-mile delivery efficiency. Like all acquisitions, this could cause near-term margin challenges but improve margins over time. Investors should keep an eye on how this acquisition plays out over the coming quarters.
Down more than 60% since its IPO, the market has yet to give the company the benefit of the doubt on whether it can reach consistent long-term cash generation and profitability.
