Sea Ltd. Slides 0.72 to 160th in Daily Trading Volume Amid AI Logistics Shift and Regulatory Challenges

On September 26, 2025, Sea Ltd. (SE) closed at a 0.72% decline with a trading volume of $570 million, ranking 160th in market activity among listed stocks. The company's performance reflects broader market dynamics amid mixed regional economic signals.

Recent developments highlight strategic challenges for Sea. The company announced a restructuring of its e-commerce segment, shifting focus toward AI-driven logistics solutions. While this aligns with long-term efficiency goals, near-term execution risks have raised investor caution. Regulatory scrutiny in key Southeast Asian markets remains unresolved, adding to operational uncertainty.

Market participants are closely monitoring Sea's ability to balance growth investments with profitability. Analysts note that the company's recent capital allocation decisions could influence short-term shareholder confidence, particularly as competing tech firms adjust their market strategies.

To run this back-test rigorously, I need to pin down a few practical details so the computation matches your intent and the limits of the engine: 1. Universe • All U.S.-listed common stocks (NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX), or another universe? 2. "Top 500 by daily trading volume" • Rank by share volume or dollar volume? 3. Trade timing • Buy at that day’s close and sell at the next day’s close (classic 1-day hold)? • Or buy next day’s open and sell that same day’s close? 4. Weighting • Equal-weight the 500 names, or value-weight by volume/dollar volume? 5. Transaction assumptions • Include any flat commission or bid-ask spread, or ignore costs? 6. Engine limitation • Our current back-test engine handles a single "portfolio ticker." To implement a daily-rotating 500-stock basket we’ll synthesize an equal-weighted index out of the 500 picks each day, then back-test that index’s closes. If that approximation is acceptable, let me know. Once I have your answers (or defaults you’re happy with), I can generate the data-retrieval plan and run the back-test from 2022-01-01 through today.
