On January 2, 2025, Sea Limited (NYSE:SE) was revisited by Maybank, which upgraded the stock from ‘Hold’ to ‘Buy’, while reiterating a $156 price target. Following a more than 36% stock price decline since the October 2025 peak, the firm now sees a more attractive risk-reward profile. The firm believes most of the short-term headwinds are already priced in amid the company’s aggressive investment push in Shopee’s VIP program and fulfillment network. The initiative is expected to strengthen the company’s competitive position across Southeast Asia, a region that accounts for roughly 75% of Shopee’s gross merchandise value (GMV).

Wedbush’s commentary in its December update was in contrast to Maybank’s update. The firm lowered its price target on Sea Limited (NYSE:SE) from $190 to $170, while reiterating its ‘Outperform’ rating. While acknowledging the internet sector’s strong 2025 performance, where it delivered average returns of 23% and outperformed the NASDAQ’s 19% gain, it sees greater dispersion in 2026. The firm predicts this as investors weigh AI monetization, agentic AI adoption, AV disruption, and ongoing investment cycles.

Sea Limited (NYSE:SE), a Singapore-based consumer internet company, operates Shopee (e-commerce), Garena (digital entertainment), and SeaMoney (digital financial services) globally.
