SEC filings
41
Stake 75.5M reported shares ≈ 1.8% of shares outstanding — no 13G on file, so an estimate 20/35
Founder Not assessed — whether they founded the company has not been researched Not assessed
Tenure No start date on record, so tenure scores nothing 0/10
Track record Not assessed — their prior companies have not been researched Not assessed
Direction Net seller — 2.0M shares ($7.4M) sold in the last year 0/15
Discipline No late Form 4s in 41 filings 10/10

Nobody has researched this person's career yet, so founder and track record are left out of the score and of the total above.

Score = stake band (35) + founder (15) + tenure (10) + track record (15) + 12-month direction (−10…15) + filing discipline (10). An axis we have not researched is left out of the score and of the total it is shown over. Every input links to a filing or to our own research; the bands are ours.

Reported is every lot on the person's own Forms 3, 4 and 5 — direct and through trusts. Beneficial is the figure stated on the latest Schedule 13D/G cover page, which can exclude shares the person disclaims and include options exercisable within 60 days, so the two are never added together.

Earnings calls

  1. Q2 2026 Aug 3, 2026 Tan's argument was that scale has stopped costing Grab money and started paying it: adjusted EBITDA up 54% on 22% revenue growth, an eighteenth consecutive quarter of EBITDA growth, and a record 54 million monthly transacting users reached while fuel prices across the region were still elevated. He was insistent about the character of that growth — driven by transactions and users rather than price — and rested it on three claims: that regional penetration is still nascent, that affordability products are opening new user segments profitably, and that daily transacting users are growing faster than monthly ones. Groceries is the proof he chose, GrabMart growing at 1.7 times the rate of food delivery. The other half of the case was AI as a cost line rather than a feature: cost per AI interaction roughly halved year on year while interactions grew tenfold, coding agents described as standard practice inside engineering, and an internal analytics agent saving sales teams about 40,000 hours a quarter. He also handled the two governance questions of the quarter directly — Dara Khosrowshahi's departure from the board on 6 July ahead of the Foodpanda Taiwan deal, and why autonomy will scale slowly in a region where more than half of all trips are two-wheel rides under a dollar.
