Sloppy execution pushed this gem to amazing prices

Last week Grab fell over 10% with a couple headlines that didn't really explain the drop : - CEO sold some shares, but it was in a trade scheduled in advance over a year ago to avoid insider trading allegations - news of acquisition of BNPL company Atome, which would only strengthen the group's financial sector and came after the big drop - Vietnam driver 2 day boycott (only very short term reason, and Grab already released documentation and worked with them to clear this) Rather I think the real reason the stock dropped so much was because of Toyota, who previously owned 5% of the company and now report 0% ownership. This was reported on September 9th. I find it likely that Toyota sold all their shares in a rush with sloppy execution for business reasons and that's why the price was suddenly pushed so low.
