Is Sea (SE) Undervalued As Earnings Forecasts And Buybacks Lift Sentiment?
July 11, 2026
Sea (NYSE:$Sea Ltd(SE)$
See our latest analysis for Sea.
Across a longer window, Sea’s recent strength stands out, with a 30 day share price return of 28.56% and a 90 day share price return of 26.99%, even though the year to date share price return is down 17.02% and the 1 year total shareholder return is down 26.97%. The 3 year total shareholder return of 73.03% points to momentum that has built in earlier years and is now being reassessed as investors weigh updated earnings projections, growth across e commerce, fintech and gaming, and the impact of the ongoing share repurchase program at a latest share price of US$109.11.
If Sea’s recent move has you thinking about where else growth and risk are being repriced, it can be useful to scan for other fast evolving platform businesses via 18 top founder-led companies
So is Sea’s sharp rebound a clean read on improving business trends across Shopee, Garena and Monee, or mostly a sentiment reset around new earnings projections and buybacks that leaves the valuation doing the heavy lifting next?

Most Popular Narrative: 22.3% Undervalued
With Sea trading at $109.11 against a narrative fair value of about $140.50, the market is being compared with a higher long term earnings story built on faster profit growth than revenue and rising margins under an 8.63% discount rate.
Analysts expect earnings to reach $3.9 billion (and earnings per share of $5.79) by about June 2029, up from $1.6 billion today. However, there is a considerable amount of disagreement amongst the analysts with the most bullish expecting $5.1 billion in earnings, and the most bearish expecting $2.7 billion.
Read the complete narrative.
Want to see what sits between those bullish and cautious views on Sea? The narrative leans on faster earnings growth than revenue and firming margins over time. Curious which assumptions really carry that fair value and how far they stretch current profitability trends? The full breakdown lays those expectations out in plain numbers.
Result: Fair Value of $140.50 (UNDERVALUED)
Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts.
However, Sea’s story can change quickly if Garena’s key gaming titles lose momentum, or if rising competition in Brazil and Southeast Asia starts to pressure Shopee and Monee.

Another View On Sea Using Earnings Multiples
While the narrative and analyst fair values suggest Sea is undervalued at $109.11, the current P/E of 41.7x paints a tighter picture. That is higher than the peer average of 25.2x, the global Multiline Retail average of 19.6x, and above a fair ratio of 33.5x that the market could move towards, which points to valuation risk if expectations slip.
