Sea Limited (SE) on Decifer

Decifer ranks SE number 200 of 270 tracked names on durable business quality.

Why it ranks here

• It earns solid returns on the money it puts to work, around 8% and those returns have been improving and it turns most of its profit into real cash.
• Revenue is growing about 36% a year, profits grew 244% over the past year, and growth is speeding up, not slowing down.
• It keeps a healthy share of every sale as profit, and that has stayed steady over the years, a sign of real pricing power, with profitability widening as it grows.
• It is riding an active market tailwind and has the balance sheet to fund its growth.
• We do not have a clean read on how it is run yet.
• Its profit margin and growth are both unusually high right now compared to its own history, the kind of combination that often fades once conditions normalize.
• Revenue of 36% and 244% profit growth are eye-popping but 8% returns and an unclear management read hold it back.
