Forrest Li sent an internal memo to Sea Limited employees outlining plans for a Monee IPO and the launch of Sea Cloud. The memo landed on the ninth anniversary of Sea's NYSE listing. In that span, quarterly revenue rose more than 80-fold to $7.8 billion. Monee operates mobile wallets, payment processing, credit and banking across Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan and Brazil. Sea Cloud is an enterprise platform prioritizing artificial intelligence. The plans were in a memo reviewed by Reuters. Sea did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Sea's core businesses are Garena, Shopee and SeaMoney, with a market capitalization of about $50.16 billion. GuruFocus noted $322,704,760 in insider sales over three months and said 18 gurus hold the stock, eight adding and nine trimming. Contested: none found in record.
