What Sea Limited Sponsored ADR does

Southeast Asian internet group combining Shopee e-commerce, Garena gaming and SeaMoney digital financial services.

Earns from three engines: seller fees, advertising and shipping charges at Shopee; in-game purchases at Garena, whose profits long funded Shopee's expansion; and interest on consumer and merchant loans through its Monee fintech arm. Based in Singapore, it moved Shopee into Brazil in 2019.

How has Sea Limited Sponsored ADR stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -12.7% against +10.7% for the median peer; over one year -52.0%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal).
