What this return means
A $1,000 stake in Sea Limited (SE) from 2023 sits at $1,487 today. The total return is +48.7% over 3.6 years, as of 2026-06-01.
That is about 11.7% a year compounded, broadly in line with long-run stock market averages. By comparison the S&P 500 returned about $1,916 on the same stake, edging out Sea Limited by close to $430. The index compounded at about 19.9% a year, a reminder that a single stock can lag a basket of them.
The path was not smooth. The best single year was 2025 at +219.3%, and the worst was 2024 at -40.8%. At its lowest point the position was down about 41% from an earlier high. These figures use split-adjusted closing prices and exclude dividends, taxes, trading fees, and inflation, so a real after-tax result would differ.

What if you invested $100 a month instead?
Most people do not drop a lump sum in on day one. They add a fixed amount every month. Putting $100 into Sea Limited at the close of every month from January 2023 through June 2026 means 42 buys and $4,200 contributed over about 3.5 years.
$100/month, dollar-cost averaged
$5,315
+26.5% on $4,200 in
Same $4,200, all in at the start
$6,245
+48.7% on $4,200 in
Going all in at the start beat spreading the buys out by $930. That is the usual result when a stock trends up: each monthly buy pays a higher price than the last, so the average cost climbs. Averaging in also meant an average buy price of $75.73 per share across the whole stretch, so the monthly buyer never had to time a single low. Neither number counts dividends, taxes, or trading costs.
Illustrative fixed $100/month example, not a recommendation. Figures are computed from SE split-adjusted monthly closes through June 2026. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
