SEA (NYSE: SE), the Singapore-based consumer internet company, has recently experienced a flurry of updates regarding its stock ratings from various brokerage firms. These changes reflect differing perspectives on the company’s performance and future potential, particularly in the evolving landscape of digital entertainment and e-commerce.
On December 22, 2025, analysts at Weiss Ratings reaffirmed their “hold (c-)” rating for SEA. This followed a series of fluctuating ratings that have characterized SEA’s stock throughout December. On December 19, 2025, analysts at Wedbush lowered their price target for SEA from $190.00 to $170.00, while maintaining an “outperform” rating. This adjustment indicates a cautious outlook on the stock’s immediate performance.
In a contrasting move, analysts at Zacks Research downgraded SEA from a “hold” rating to a “strong sell” rating on December 10, 2025. This significant downgrade highlights concerns regarding SEA’s current market position and future growth prospects.
The previous month saw a mix of affirmations and upgrades for SEA. On November 16, 2025, Phillip Securities upgraded SEA from a “hold” rating to a “strong buy,” signaling confidence in the company’s long-term growth. Conversely, Zacks Research downgraded SEA from a “strong buy” to a “hold” rating on November 11, 2025, reflecting a more conservative approach.
Analysts at Barclays PLC raised their price target for SEA from $214.00 to $226.00 on November 13, 2025, which they accompanied with an “overweight” rating. This optimistic outlook contrasts with the downward adjustments made by other analysts in the same timeframe.
Additionally, TD Cowen lowered their price target for SEA from $165.00 to $144.00 on November 10, 2025, while maintaining a “hold” rating. Such adjustments reflect a cautious sentiment surrounding the stock amid ongoing market challenges.
Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Singapore, SEA operates a trio of interconnected businesses across digital entertainment, e-commerce, and digital financial services. Originally known as Garena, the company has established itself as a significant player in Southeast Asia and adjacent markets. Its digital entertainment segment, Garena, develops and publishes games while also managing esports initiatives and online gaming platforms.
As SEA navigates these mixed ratings and revised price targets, investors will be closely monitoring how these changes influence the company’s stock performance and overall market strategy. The company’s ability to adapt to fluctuations in analyst sentiment may play a crucial role in its future growth trajectory.
