After growing competition and a wider profit loss, the latest blow came on Tuesday, when Tencent Holdings Ltd. cut its stake in the gaming and e-commerce giant, driving the stock to its worst slump in almost two years.Li became Singapore’s richest person last year as the company benefited from a surge in demand for gaming and online shopping amid the Covid-19 pandemic. But things soon started turning sour as Sea faced profitability concerns amid fierce competition and rivals’ public debuts. Even before Tencent’s move, its ADRs were down 39% from the high in October.Tencent said Tuesday it is cutting its Sea stake to 18.7% from 21.3%, with its voting rights decreasing to under 10%. The move followed an earlier statement from Sea saying it is seeking to increase the voting power of its Class B shares and that Tencent would convert all such stock into Class A shares, resulting in Li becoming the beneficial owner of all outstanding Class B securities. The change, which is subject to a shareholders’ vote next month, would effectively increase Li’s voting power to about 57% from 54%.Sea, based in Singapore and traded in the U.S., became Southeast Asia’s most valuable company thanks to the success of its e-commerce platform Shopee and mobile game Free Fire, which has surpassed 1 billion downloads on Google Play. Gang Ye and David Chen, who started the company with Li in 2009, have fortunes valued at $6.3 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively.Now Li is worth $11.8 billion, with his wealth plunging by $1.5 billion on Tuesday alone. He’s Singapore’s third-richest person, following Li Xiting of medical-equipment maker Shenzhen Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics Co. and Nippon Paint Holdings Co.’s Goh Cheng Liang. Since Sea’s peak on Oct. 19, only Colin Huang of e-commerce platform Pinduoduo Inc. and Amancio Ortega, the founder of the Zara clothing brand, have lost more wealth than Li, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.A Sea representative didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.Sea’s valuation may keep getting impacted until its profitability starts improving, according to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Nathan Naidu.“Upfront investments for new geographical expansion and the heavy sales and marketing expenses to acquire new users in these new markets will keep weighing on earnings,” he said, adding that the company has plenty of growth opportunities and its prospects remain intact. “This, along with rising competition from rivals -- particularly from the recently listed Grab and soon-to-be-public GoTo Group -- in its home markets in Southeast Asia, and potential execution risks in unfamiliar markets -- LatAm, Europe and India -- may fuel investor concerns and drag Sea’s valuation.”","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9008117721,"gmtCreate":1641387924627,"gmtModify":1676533608905,"author":{"id":"3566821013640470","authorId":"3566821013640470","name":"Jazling","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/85e0a83573d9307f57fca9b2baed72af","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9008117721","repostId":1123855159,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9008130440,"gmtCreate":1641383137803,"gmtModify":1676533608284,"author":{"id":"4103013191740930","authorId":"4103013191740930","name":"Dipsy_ss","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"[Surprised]&nbsp;","listText":"[Surprised]&nbsp;","text":"[Surprised]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9008130440","repostId":1123855159,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9008197720,"gmtCreate":1641382770010,"gmtModify":1676533608277,"author":{"id":"3574940174191291","authorId":"3574940174191291","name":"Luaru","avatar":"https://static.itradeup.com/news/750142c1b0cb6abbc3d5e96b96121787","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b073a07f77dbe6b3bec6b12311fde6bd","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"htmlText":"Oh no","listText":"Oh no","text":"Oh no","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9008197720","repostId":1123855159,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9008197264,"gmtCreate":1641382684603,"gmtModify":1676533608268,"author":{"id":"3581937910767045","authorId":"3581937910767045","name":"Pluto891","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c9963f2ef3d3ad2aff28340461d3d6d0","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"htmlText":"how low can it go?
