Sea: The Growth Model Remains Intact

Summary Sea Limited is structurally undervalued, with an 18% upside to my $141/share fair value estimate. SE’s diversified model—Shopee, Monee, and Garena—drives sustainable growth, with 32%+ five-year revenue CAGR and expected FY2026 revenue of $31 billion. CEO Forrest Li’s owner-operator mindset and operational excellence underpin SE’s rapid turnaround and margin expansion potential. Risks include prolonged investment cycles and margin pressure from competition, but SE’s scale, leadership, and growth runway remain compelling. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

1stDibs Keeps Delivering, But The Name Remains High For Its Fundamentals

Summary 1stDibs delivered strong 2Q26 results, with GMV up 7% and adjusted EBITDA margins turning positive amid significant cost cuts. DIBS achieved growth while reducing sales and marketing expenses by over 30%, demonstrating operating leverage and improved unit economics.
