Sea Ltd Rallies on Strong Q1 Growth Driven by Shopee

Sea Ltd (NYSE:SE) reported a strong start to 2025, with first-quarter revenue climbing nearly 30% year-over-year, driven by sustained growth in its e-commerce platform Shopee and steady performance in digital entertainment and financial services.

The Singapore-based tech firm posted revenue of $4.84 billion for the January–March period, just below the $4.89 billion analyst consensus, according to LSEG data.

Shares are up more than 13.5% in premarket trading following the announcement.

Shopee, Sea's flagship e-commerce platform and a market leader in countries like Indonesia and Taiwan, saw robust demand as consumers prepared for the summer travel and holiday season.

Shopee’s appeal lies in its wide product range, integrated payments, and interactive features like live shopping and gamification, which have helped it expand its user base across Southeast Asia.

The e-commerce segment, which contributes more than two-thirds of Sea’s total revenue, saw a 28.3% jump in sales during the quarter. This momentum underscores Shopee’s role as the company’s primary growth engine.

E-Commerce

JD.com Beats Revenue Forecast as Subsidies Drive Demand

Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com (NASDAQ:JD) posted stronger-than-expected revenue for the first quarter of 2025. Discount-driven campaigns and government subsidies helped the Chinese e-commerce giant navigate weak consumer sentiment and ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions.

For the quarter ending March 31, JD.com reported revenue of 301.08 billion yuan ($41.82 billion), representing a 15.8% year-over-year increase and topping the 289.22 billion yuan estimate from analysts polled by LSEG. Net income rose to 10.9 billion yuan, up from 7.1 billion yuan a year earlier.

Despite macroeconomic headwinds, including a lingering property crisis and high unemployment in China, JD attracted shoppers with aggressive price cuts and expanded its product offerings.

However, rising costs weighed on margins. JD.com reported significant increases in marketing and order fulfillment expenses as it ramped up promotional efforts and launched its new food delivery platform, JD Takeaway.

The service, introduced in February, is competing in a crowded field dominated by Meituan and Alibaba’s Ele.me.

Tencent Music Triples Profit as Subscription Revenue Surges

Tencent Music Entertainment Group (NYSE:TME) reported a sharp jump in first-quarter profit, driven by higher subscription revenue and strong operating performance, lifting shares over 2% in premarket trading Tuesday.

Net profit attributable to shareholders soared 201.8% to RMB 4.29 billion ($591 million), up from RMB 1.53 billion in the same period last year.

Earnings per American Depositary Share (ADS) rose to RMB 2.77 ($0.38), from RMB 0.91 a year earlier. On a non-IFRS basis, net profit rose 24.6% to RMB 2.12 billion ($293 million).

The company’s operating profit more than doubled to RMB 4.84 billion ($666 million), reflecting improved cost efficiency and a stronger revenue mix.

Total revenue climbed 8.7% to RMB 7.36 billion ($447 million), with music subscription income leading the growth at RMB 4.22 billion ($581 million), a 16.6% increase from the prior year.

This uptick highlights Tencent Music's continued success in converting free users into paying subscribers on platforms such as QQ Music, Kugou, and Kuwo.

Movers and Shakers

Landsea Homes Corporation [LSEA] - Last Close: $0.65

Landsea Homes is a residential homebuilder. Its stock is jumping 59% in premarket trading after announcing a $1.2 billion go-private acquisition by New Home Co., backed by Apollo Global, offering shareholders a 61% premium.

My Take: The buyout gives a solid exit for investors after the firm had a rocky start to the year. Apollo’s backing could signal renewed strategic direction in a cooling housing market, so keep an eye on this one.

Inno Holdings Inc. [INHD] - Last Close: $2.36

Inno Holdings develops and commercializes 3D-printed construction solutions. Its stock is surging 50%+ in premarket trading after announcing a partnership with New Life Technology to launch a B2B marketplace using big data and cloud tools to offer electronics at or below wholesale prices.

My Take: Its core construction tech business is struggling but B2B e-commerce is an interesting pivot. Its a speculative play without a proven execution strategy, so be careful if you want to invest here.

VirTra, Inc. [VTSI] - Last Close: $4.67

VirTra provides immersive simulation training systems for law enforcement and military clients. The stock is up 16.5% in premarket trading after posting strong earnings in this quarter. While Q1 2025 revenue dipped slightly year-over-year, net income more than doubled to $1.3 million.

My Take: VirTra is focusing on recurring revenue, expanding government contracts, and strong gross margins. The results are starting to show. But keep a close watch on how things go from here.
