Sea reported a 144.6% increase in its third-quarter earnings to US$375 million, up from US$153.3 million in the year-ago period.

Revenue for the group grew 38.3% to US$6 billion, from US$4.3 billion in the corresponding period the year before.

Garena, Sea’s digital entertainment arm, had its best quarter booking since the Covid-19 pandemic. Its bookings grew 51.1% to US$840.7 million in Q3 2025. Revenue grew 31.2% to US$653 million, compared to the year before.

Revenue for Shopee, its ecommerce segment, grew 34.9% to US$4.3 billion in Q3 2025 from a year ago.

Revenue from Monee, its digital financial services arm, rose 60.8 per cent to US$989.9 million in Q3 2025 from a year ago.

“Our focus remains the same: continuing to deliver high and profitable growth across all three of our businesses. With e-commerce and digital finance penetration in our markets still low but increasing, strong growth lays the best foundation to maximise our long-term profitability,” said Forrest Li, Sea’s chairman and chief executive officer.

In October, Li told employees in a memo that as Sea continues to focus on AI, reaching a trillion-dollar market capitalization could be within reach.

Sea has deployed AI solutions across customer service and gaming.

Shares of Sea closed 3.4% or US$5.11 higher at US$155.05 on the New York Stock Exchange on Monday.
