Context: Sea Ltd. on Tuesday reported higher profit in its third quarter with increased revenues. Further, the firm said its board of directors on Monday approved an additional $1.0 billion to its share repurchase authorization, without expiration. In the previous $1 billion program, the company so far has repurchased 11.1 million shares for an aggregate amount of $997.2 million. In its third quarter, the company's net earnings totalled $502.46 million, 34 percent higher than $374.99 million last year. Earnings per share grew 32.2 percent to $0.78 from prior year's $0.59. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 28.9 percent year-on-year to reach $931.3 million with strong growth in all segments. Shopee Adjusted EBITDA1 was US$269.2 million, up 44.7 percent year-on-year. The company's revenue for the period rose 43.4 percent to $8.582 billion from $5.986 billion last year. Shopee revenue was $6.1 billion, up 41.3 percent year-on-year. Gross orders totaled 4.5 billion for the quarter, increasing by 25.5 percent year-on-year.

My Trade: Was actually aiming for nearer to $70 as it fell briefly during pre-marker but now the stock is up. Is ok, I will be patient.

Takeaway: Shopee's revenue increase is actually heartening, especially with intent competition from TikTok Shop in the past year as well. @Captain's Treasure
