Sea Shares Jump As Analysts Upgrade

Tiger Newspress04-22

BofA analyst Sachin Salgaonkar upgraded Sea Limited to Buy from Neutral with a price target of $70, up from $62. The latest data points from Sea's Asian markets indicate that the company's online platform, Shopee, and other platforms have gradually raised take-rates by an average of 3%-7% to 5%-10%, notes the analyst, who sees e-commerce losses having bottomed and room for take-rate and gaming to "surprise."

Morgan Stanley upgraded Sea Limited to Overweight from Equal Weight with a price target of $70, up from $65. The firm says its upgrade reflects higher conviction in its 2024 base case given year-to-date momentum and "relatively rational competition" in e-commerce. Given Shopee's market share trend, GMV growth, improving unit economics, competitor moves on commissions, and the management outlook, the firm argues that the risk-reward balance is now more favorable.

Sea also raised to Buy from Neutral by B of A Securities.

Sea shares jumped 8.3% in morning trading Monday.
