Case in point: Singapore’sSeaLtd.SE36.05%increase; green up pointing triangleThe Asian consumer internet company’s beaten-down shares surfed a wave of enthusiasm on Tuesday after it narrowed losses substantially during the third quarter, defying market expectations. They surged 36% in New York trading after having been down 87% from their 52-week high.Sea’s net loss for the quarter, excluding share-based compensation, narrowed to $369.5 million from $450.1 million in the year-ago period as cash burn in its e-commerce business slowed. Revenue was up 17.4%.The company is working toward breaking even on the basis of adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization in its e-commerce business by the end of 2023, helped by better take rates and scaled-back marketing expenses. It is Sea’s largest segment, followed by gaming.Group Chief ExecutiveForrest Lisaid Sea has entirely shifted its focus from growth to achieving self-sufficiency and profitability as soon as possible without relying on external funding. The company has been walking this talk for a few quarters now: It has slashed jobs,closed its e-commerce operations in Indiaand some European and Latin American markets and stopped making equity investments.Sea’s Asian tech peersGrab Holdingsand GoTo also have seen better days, struggling in an environment of rising interest rates, inflation and slowing growth, andhave shifted their focusto profitability. The script is similar to Silicon Valley’s draconian new approach to stem the slide in market valuations:slashing costs to deal with slowing growth.Despite the risk ofa global recession in 2023, Sea’s stock could see some further upside as the company accelerates its path to profitability and if it succeeds in reversing its cash burn by the end of next year. It currently trades at only 2.46 times projected sales for the next 12 months, according to FactSet, down from a multiple of 8.58 at the beginning of the year and as high as 18 in February 2021. The average analyst rating on the stock is overweight.A fly in the ointment could be Sea’s profitable gaming business continuing to see moderation in user spending as the pandemic boost keeps waning. The unit, which generates 28% of group revenue, is under pressure due to excessive reliance on its game “Free Fire.”Bernstein analysts Venugopal Garre and Ankit Agrawal say Sea has demonstrated its ability to substantially reduce e-commerce losses through increased efforts to monetize the platform and cost reductions and they expect “self-sufficiency” to remain a keyword at the company with continued quarterly improvement.After years of burning cash in a fight for market share, Sea’s new reality is sobering. The faster internet companies accept it, the better.","kind":null,"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":9963829842,"gmtCreate":1668647567487,"gmtModify":1676538089908,"author":{"id":"3585382015740768","authorId":"3585382015740768","name":"RL7741","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/cc534d52d2b9325d1a2e19f4cf928bc2","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3585382015740768","authorIdStr":"3585382015740768"},"htmlText":"Good
