Sea Gives Guidance for Lower Adjusted EBITDA Margins Than We Expected

We expect Shopee to be Sea’s main valuation driver for the long term. E-commerce as a percentage of retail sales was 4%-29% in major Southeast Asian economies as of August 2025 as per eMarketer, behind China's 52% and the UK's 31%, leaving ample room for incumbents and new entrants to expand. We expect Shopee’s gross merchandise volume in Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and Latin America to grow at a 16% compound annual growth rate during 2025-34.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Garena could develop other hit games that diversify its revenue stream in addition to Free Fire.

Bears

Due to low switching costs, Sea may fail to achieve profitability because of increased sales and marketing spending needed to attract customers.
