Sea Limited (SE - Free Report) is set to release second-quarter 2021 results on Aug 17.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for loss has been unchanged at 36 cents per share over the past 30 days. Sea Limited reported a loss of 68 cents per share in the year-ago quarter.
The consensus mark for revenues is currently pegged at $2.26 billion, indicating 76% growth from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
The company’s earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all of the trailing four quarters, the negative earnings surprise being 24.5%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to this announcement.
Factors at Play for Q2 Results

Higher expenses related to the expansion of e-commerce services, and continued efforts to integrate the company’s mobile wallet services with the Shopee platform across different markets are expected to have negatively impacted profitability in the to-be-reported quarter.
