Southeast Asian tech giant Sea Limited could see a turnaround toward profitable growth, said Loop Capital.

Analyst Rob Sanderson upgraded shares to buy from hold. He also hiked his price target to $92 from $59, suggesting shares rallying 48.3% from where they closed on Tuesday.

The company, which has e-commerce, financial services and gaming businesses, has struggled with valuation pressure over the last two years due to share loss to TikTok and strong competition, Sanderson said. However, it posted its first profitable year in March 2023. CEO and chairman Forrest Li said he also expects 2024 to be a profitable year.

However, the “recent announcement of a commission rate increase by the combined TikTok-Tokopedia, its first move since merging to satisfy Indonesian regulators, has sparked a revaluation in the stock. In our view, this signals that the shift to sustained profitable growth is finally underway and serves as a significant catalyst for revaluation of the stock,” Sanderson wrote in a Wednesday note.

Shares gained nearly 4% in morning trading.
