On June 17, Sea Ltd rose 3.18% in regular trading, trading at $89.695/share, with turnover of $21.3586 million. The stock continued its upward trajectory for a third consecutive session as the market fully digested the earlier Shopee layoff news.

On the news front, Shopee had announced cuts of several hundred developer positions, accounting for approximately 8% of its development team, primarily affecting quality assurance roles. The announcement initially weighed on the stock, causing a cumulative decline exceeding 3% between June 10 and June 12. However, since June 15, the market has reinterpreted the headcount reduction as a cost optimization initiative, driving a sustained recovery.

Fundamentally, Shopee reported robust Q1 performance with GMV reaching $37.3 billion, up 30.2% year-over-year, while order volume surpassed 4 billion units, providing solid valuation support. Within the Broadline Retail sector, Coupang gained 4.27% and MercadoLibre rose 0.7%, offering additional sentiment tailwinds for the sector.
