Piper Jaffray analyst Michael Olson believes the combination of gross domestic product growth and internet connectivity growth, coupled with the secular rising tide in Sea Limited's core verticals will catalyze strong growth in the near-term and material profitability in the longer-term. Olsen maintained an Overweight rating and $18 price target on shares.

Loop Capital upgraded Sea Limited to Buy from Hold with a price target of $92, up from $59. The stock's valuation pressure the last two years is mainly because of aggressive competition and share loss to TikTok, the analyst tells investors in a research note. However, the firm says the recent announcement of a commission rate increase by the combined TikTok-Tokopedia, its first move since merging to satisfy Indonesian regulators, "has sparked a revaluation" Sea shares. Loop believes this signals that the shift to sustained profitable growth is "finally underway" and serves as a significant catalyst for revaluation of Sea Limited. With "competitive rationality" setting in, Loop moved from its "broken stock" valuation framework for Sea.
