1. Sea Ltd: Follow-On Public Offering an Opportunistic Fundraising?

Se4 public

  • We evaluate the attractiveness of Sea Ltd’s (SE US) US$1 bn follow-on public offering announced last Fri.
  • This offering is a typical opportunistic fundraising as its ADR price has recently surged.
  • At assumed deal price of US$21, SE post deal would trade at 4.6x 2019E P/adjusted sales (excl. 1P e-commerce sales), vs. peers average of 5.2x.
  • We would recommend investors to go for the deal if it is priced at US$20 or lower.
