The diluted share count is up 5.5% on a year earlier, which dilutes existing holders. Against its peers on growth, profitability, cash generation and balance sheet, it grades B+. It passes 7 of our 7 financial-health checks.

The Fundamentalytics view

Next results ~November 10, 2026 (estimated)

Sea Ltd's trailing-twelve-month revenue grew 36.4% year on year, with a free-cash-flow margin of 19.7%. Where it stands out: long-term debt as % of assets of 0.0% ranks 1 of 32 interactive media & services companies we cover.

Our discounted-cash-flow model values the business at ~$240 per share in the base case (~$190–$310 across growth scenarios) — model values under stated assumptions, not a price target.

Current signal Free cash flow diverging from earnings: TTM free cash flow grew 52.4% while net income grew 255.2%: a 203pp divergence.

Fundamentalytics rating

model v1.6 · 2026-11-03

Not rated: held for review: our cash-flow value ($241.25) was left out of our combined valuation (it is more than 3x away from the median of our other models), so it can't be the basis of a rating.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Sea Ltd's free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $3.2B, FY2025 Q4 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

The inputs used by the models below have passed source checks. Individual model values are available below and in the interactive valuator. Their differences are shown explicitly; the platform combined value and recommendation remain withheld.

Valuation models

We value Sea Ltd as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 10.3%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 1.19 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.
