Sea Limited (SE) Shares Retrace -14.5% in 30 Days After Summer Rally
Key Takeaways
- Sea Limited (SE) shares declined roughly 14.5% over the trailing 30 days, retreating from the elevated levels reached after its second-quarter earnings report.
- The pullback followed a sharp summer rally, and the stock remains up about 11.5% over the trailing quarter, underscoring a consolidation rather than a collapse in fundamentals.
- Second-quarter revenue rose 48% year over year to $7.8 billion, but adjusted EPS of $0.70 missed consensus, and management flagged foreign-exchange headwinds for the second half.
- Core growth engines stayed intact: Shopee gross merchandise volume (GMV) grew 28% to $38.3 billion, and the SeaMoney loan book rose about 62% to $11.1 billion with a stable 1.0% 90-day NPL ratio.
- Investor focus now shifts to third-quarter results and whether Shopee sustains its roughly 25% full-year GMV growth target.
Sea Limited (SE) Company Overview and Market Position
Sea Limited is a Singapore-based global consumer internet company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker SE.

Investors follow SE for its exposure to fast-growing emerging-market e-commerce and fintech, as well as its steady progress toward profitability across all three segments.

Sea Limited (SE) Stock Price Performance: Last 30 Days vs. Quarter
Over the trailing 30 days, SE declined about 14.5%, from a closing price of $119.10 on August 19 to $101.79 by the most recent session. Within that window, the stock briefly attempted to reclaim higher ground near $123 in late August before selling pressure resumed and accelerated in mid-September.
The picture looks different over the full quarter. Measured from a late-June close of $91.28, the shares are still up roughly 11.5%. The stock rallied through July and into the second-quarter earnings release, reaching an intraday high near $131.51 on August 11, before giving back a meaningful portion of those gains. In short, the recent decline is best understood as a retracement from a strong, news-driven run-up rather than a sustained downtrend.
What Drove SE Stock Price in the Last 30 Days
The 30-day decline largely reflects a digestion of the post-earnings surge. SE climbed roughly 9.6% in premarket trading after reporting second-quarter results on August 11, as investors focused on revenue growth and improving margins, then progressively gave back those gains over the following weeks.
Several factors from the report and earnings call contributed to the cooling sentiment. Revenue of $7.8 billion topped estimates, but adjusted EPS of $0.70 came in below consensus, a mixed signal that weighed on momentum. Management also highlighted foreign-exchange headwinds, noting that weaker local currencies against the U.S. dollar could pressure GMV growth in the second half. Separately, provisions for credit losses rose in the quarter due to a higher mix of off-Shopee SPayLater and Brazil lending, which raised questions about the pace and quality of SeaMoney's expansion. From what I see, the pullback also reflected broader positioning after a rapid advance of more than 40% from the late-June low to the August peak.
What Drove SE Stock Performance Over the Last Quarter
The quarterly gain of roughly 11.5% was powered by a mid-summer rally into and through second-quarter earnings. The results reinforced the core growth narrative: Shopee GMV rose 28% to $38.3 billion, marking eight consecutive quarters of sequential growth, while ad revenue climbed more than 70% year over year. SeaMoney's loan book expanded about 62% to $11.1 billion while the 90-day non-performing-loan ratio held at 1.0%. Garena posted bookings of $763.5 million, up 15.5%, anchored by Free Fire, which continues to draw more than 100 million average daily active users. I also checked this using Tickeron’s AI Trend Prediction Engine to gauge momentum signals.
Management reiterated its goal of more than $1 billion in Shopee adjusted EBITDA for 2026 and reaffirmed a full-year GMV growth outlook of around 25%, even as it acknowledged currency and comparison-base challenges. This combination of accelerating revenue, improving unit economics, and a disciplined approach to credit and capital spending supported the quarter's advance before the recent consolidation took hold.
SE Stock Forecast Drivers: What Investors Should Watch Next
The next key catalyst is Sea Limited's third-quarter 2026 earnings release, expected in mid-November. Investors will be watching whether Shopee's GMV growth stays on track for the company's roughly 25% full-year target, how foreign-exchange movements affect reported results, and whether advertising take rates and fulfillment economics continue to improve. On the fintech side, the trajectory of the SeaMoney loan book, credit-loss provisions, and the 90-day NPL ratio will be closely scrutinized. For Garena, the performance of Free Fire and the reception of new titles such as Palworld Online and Monster Hunter Outlanders could shape sentiment. Broader considerations include competitive dynamics in Brazil and Southeast Asia, emerging-market consumer spending, and currency volatility, all of which can influence both fundamentals and the stock's valuation.
