Sea Limited's stock has shown significant growth due to several factors. In fiscal 2024, the company experienced a 28% year-over-year increase in its Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV), reaching $100 billion. This substantial growth in GMV indicates a robust expansion in the company's e-commerce operations, which has been a key driver of its stock performance.

Additionally, the company's accelerating sales growth and improved e-commerce profitability have contributed to its impressive stock rally. The company's sales growth has been particularly noteworthy, with a surge of 162% in 2024 and an advance of 30% in 2025 so far. These factors have positively influenced the stock market performance of Sea Limited, making it an attractive investment option for many.
