Frequently asked questions
What is Sea Ltd's revenue?
Sea Ltd's trailing twelve-month revenue is $25.19B, and consensus projects about $62.41B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is SE?
In its most recent fiscal year, SE ran a gross margin of 44.66%, an operating margin of 8.13%, and a net margin of 6.88%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does SE generate?
SE produced $4.51B in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is SE's balance sheet healthy?
SE holds $6.38B in cash and equivalents against $510.40M in long-term debt, on $12.53B of shareholder equity. Cash on hand exceeds long-term debt, so the balance sheet adds little financial risk to the thesis.
