SE: Rally — Is E-com Finally Turning?

Often called Southeast Asia's 'mini Tencent' $Sea(SE.US) reported Q2 FY26 on Aug 11. Growth across its three segments was strong and ahead of expectations, and the key e-commerce unit saw margins continue to expand.

However, the company remains in a heavy investment phase. Overall profit growth was just over 10%, implying revenue outpaced profit.

1) Overall — revenue outpaced profit: total revenue was approx. $7.8 bn (+48% YoY), accelerating vs. last quarter. This was well above Bloomberg's ~35% estimate...

SE: Southeast Asia's mini Tencent roars back!

Often dubbed Southeast Asia's 'mini Tencent', $Sea(SE.US) reported Q1 2026 results pre-market on May 12 (U.S. time). The quarter was solid, with revenue growth and profit delivery both beating estimates.

SE: Burning cash for growth — is SE Asia's 'mini Tencent' heading into another money pit?---

Often dubbed Southeast Asia's Tencent, $Sea(SE.US) reported Q4 results premarket on Mar 3.

SEA: An Unchanged Report Card Can't Compete with a 'Changed Heart' Market

The Southeast Asian Little Tencent, $Sea(SE.US), delivered its Q3 earnings report on the evening of November 11, before the U.S. stock market opened.
