The consensus mark for revenues is currently pegged at $2.58 billion, indicating 55% 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 37.1%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to this announcement.
Factors at Play for Q3 Results
Sea Limited’s digital entertainment (Garena) and e-commerce businesses are expected to have continued to capitalize from changing consumer behavior in the third quarter.
Garena is likely to have benefited from the continued popularity of Free Fire amid stiff competition from Tencent (TCEHY - Free Report) . Per Sensor Tower data, the game was the third most downloaded mobile game worldwide in September 2021 beating Tencent’s PUBG Mobile. Free Fire was also the third most-downloaded game in August 2021.
Moreover, Free Fire was the ninth top-grossing mobile game in September 2021 and sixth top-grossing in August 2021. Tencent’s PUBG Mobile was the top-grossing game in August and the third top-grossing game in September.
The company’s e-commerce segment is likely to have gained traction from a strong uptick in Shopee, its online shopping platform. Additionally, SeaMoney’s strengthening integration with Shopee is expected to have aided Sea’s digital financial services business.
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.
