Wall Street Zen recently upgraded Sea Limited from a "hold" rating to a "buy" rating, reflecting a positive outlook on the company's prospects. This upgrade comes as Sea Limited continues to demonstrate strong performance across its various segments, including Shopee, Monee, and Garena.

Shopee, Sea Limited's e-commerce platform, has shown remarkable growth. In the first quarter of 2025, Shopee's revenues surged by 28.3% year over year to $3.5 billion, driven by a 50% increase in ad revenues. The platform achieved a record-high gross merchandise volume (GMV) of $28.6 billion, up 21.5% year over year, while gross orders jumped 20.5% to $3.1 billion. Adjusted EBITDA reached $264.4 million, a significant improvement from the previous year's loss of $21.7 million. This growth is attributed to higher take rates, cost optimization, and competitive pricing, with Shopee on track to meet its 20% full-year GMV growth target.

Monee, Sea Limited's digital financial services arm, also saw substantial growth with revenues increasing by 57.1% year over year to $787.1 million. Monee's expansion into Brazil and its innovation in banking, investment, and insurance services are expected to drive further growth. Garena, the digital entertainment segment, reported revenues of $495.6 million, up 8.2% year over year, with bookings soaring 51.4% to $775.4 million. The success of its flagship game, Free Fire, and the launch of new games like Delta Force Mobile and Free City have contributed to increased user engagement and bookings.
