UPDATE: CIMB Starts Sea Ltd. (SE) at Add, Sees Co as Digital proxy to ASEAN

(updating comment)

CIMB analyst Ngoh Yi Sin initiates coverage on Sea Ltd. (NYSE: SE) with a Add rating and a price target of $152.00.

The analyst comments "SEA Ltd (SE) is a unique proxy to GSEA’s digital economy with exposure to online gaming (Garena), e-commerce (Shopee) and digital financial services (SeaMoney). It has built on its mobile-led strategy, strong content localisation capabilities and Tencent backing to gain GMV market share and diversify into new markets (India, LATAM). Initiate coverage with Add and SOP-based TP of US$152.00. We value Garena (33% of SOP) at 29x FY21F P/E in line with peers, Shopee (61% of SOP) at 1.1x FY21F GMV, 40% discount to peers and SeaMoney at 0.4x FY21F TPV (sector mean). Re-rating catalysts: more gaming hits, sustained e-commerce growth and digital banking success in Singapore. Downside risks:
unfavourable regulatory changes and rising competition."
