SINGAPORE -- Singaporean "super app" Grab on Tuesday cut its earnings projections for this year, citing uncertainties stemming from the prolonged COVID-19 crisis in Southeast Asia.

Grab is one of Southeast Asia's biggest tech startups. It offers delivery, ride-hailing, financial and a range of other services, and plans to go public in the U.S. later this year.
