They point out that this does not bode well for future revenues trends, suggesting a continued moderation of gaming activity.However, Sea’s digital financial services segment performed well during the quarter ended September, beating the Citi analysts’ expectations in revenue and adjusted ebitda.“We will seek colour from management regarding the latest competitive landscape and business strategies for e-commerce and whether the heavy spending in sales and marketing will continue in 4QFY2023 and into 2024,” they say.“We also hope to hear of any turnaround solution for the gaming business,” add the analysts.Their target price of US$49.00 is derived from a combination of US$7.40 per share for Sea’s digital entertainment (Garena) business, US$31.20 per share for its e-commerce Shopee business and US$10.50 per share for its digital financial services or payments business. “Since Sea operates three distinct business segments — online games, e-commerce, and payment services — we believe using a sum-of-the-parts (SOTP) approach is an appropriate valuation methodology,” they reason. “We believe a multiple in line with global peers is reasonable given expanding user cases of SeaMoney as well as deepening integration with the Shopee platform.”Nevertheless, the analysts have assigned a “high risk” rating to Sea given the “lack of visibility” to the effectiveness of recent investments.Their key downside risks include Shopee continuing to lose market share in e-commerce, Shopee’s losses being larger and more extended than anticipated, a weaker-than-expected performance of Free Fire and the challenges posed by operating in seven regulatory jurisdictions.Shares in Sea closed 55 US cents or 1.21% up at US$46.03 on Nov 13 on the NYSE.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":241617587945768,"gmtCreate":1700017186481,"gmtModify":1700017190651,"author":{"id":"3559102890148495","authorId":"3559102890148495","name":"666huat666","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/aaee715fb6027f469a083e0084bbd67c","vip":1,"crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3559102890148495","authorIdStr":"3559102890148495"},"htmlText":"I have been using Mari for payment in case dbs or citi payment not working again hahaha&nbsp;","listText":"I have been using Mari for payment in case dbs or citi payment not working again hahaha&nbsp;","text":"I have been using Mari for payment in case dbs or citi payment not working again hahaha","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/241617587945768","repostId":2383776072,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"isCommentEnd":false,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.3","shortVersion":"4.29.3","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2383776072"}
