Sea Ltd Adr (SE)

Shares of Sea Ltd ADR (SE) dropped by 5.33% from $40.00 to $37.87 in the trading on Monday, December 11, 2023. The reason why SE is down today is due to TikTok's entrance into the Indonesian e-commerce market. TikTok announced plans to acquire 75% of GoTo's Tokopedia for $840 million and invest additional funds to become a significant player in Indonesian e-commerce. Sea Limited, which heavily relies on Southeast Asia and Indonesia for revenue, faces concerns over increased competition from TikTok's ambitious move into the region. Analysts had mixed reactions to this development. Local bank DBS downgraded SE shares to Hold and reduced the price target to $42, while Loop Capital in the U.S. raised its price target to $43, citing potential for robust earnings growth despite TikTok's competition.

Shares of Sea Ltd ADR (SE) dropped by 7.50% from $39.72 to $36.74 in the trading on Wednesday, November 29, 2023. The reason why SE is down today is due to TikTok's growing interest in the Indonesian e-commerce market, which is viewed as a direct threat to Sea Limited's operations in the region. TikTok, owned by ByteDance, is actively pursuing partnerships with Indonesian e-commerce platforms, provided it complies with local regulations. TikTok's move follows its suspension of e-commerce transactions within its TikTok Shop app in Indonesia due to new regulations banning direct e-commerce payments through social media channels. While these developments were initially seen as favorable for traditional e-commerce players like Sea Limited's Shopee, TikTok's aggressive entry into the market has raised concerns and uncertainty among investors. The situation is being closely monitored to gauge its impact on Sea Limited and the broader e-commerce landscape in Indonesia.
