Sea Limited (SE) slips 3% as investors digest post-earnings outlook and recent price-target resets

Sea Limited (SE) is down 3.0% today. Here is some analysis on what might have caused this price movement.

Analysis: The dip looks like a modest pullback after investors digested Sea’s recent quarterly update and the company’s message that 2026 is an “investment year,” which can imply higher near-term spending. Recent analyst price-target adjustments and normal profit-taking following earnings-related volatility may also be weighing on sentiment.

Details:

Sea reported first-quarter 2026 GAAP revenue of US$7.1 billion (+46.6% year-over-year) with adjusted EBITDA of about US$1.0 billion and net income of US$438.2 million.

Management reiterated a 2026 outlook that targets around 25% year-over-year growth in Shopee’s annual GMV and full-year adjusted EBITDA no lower than 2025 in absolute dollars, while emphasizing ongoing competitive investments.

Sea disclosed it repurchased 1.8 million shares for US$168.4 million under its US$1.0 billion buyback program during Q1 2026.

Several firms have updated views after the Q1 release (including price-target reductions while maintaining ratings), which can pressure the stock on quieter days even without new company-specific headlines.
