Sea Limited: a resilient conglomerate with a focus on Southeast Asia
-Sea Limited $SE is one of the most prominent conglomerates in Southeast Asia, operating in the gaming, e-commerce and fintech sectors. With its dominance in e-commerce and popular games such as Free Fire, it has earned its position as a market leader.
- However, the entry into the market has not only faced success. A temporary ban on Free Fire in India, difficulties expanding outside of Southeast Asia, and competition with the TikTok platform are challenges the company faces.
- However, with the return of Free Fire to India and the focus on developing Shopee's e-commerce arm in Southeast Asia, a revival is expected. Even though the stock price has fallen to 80% of its all-time high, $SE has the potential for a financial recovery.
