But did you know its parent company just overtook Southeast Asia’s biggest bank?
Shares of Sea Limited (NYSE: SE) have quietly surged past DBS Group (SGX: D05) to become Singapore’s most valuable company by market cap.
The numbers tell the story: on Tuesday, Sea Limited was valued at S$143 billion, just above DBS at under S$142 billion.
That’s a lead of roughly S$1 billion.
It’s a remarkable shift that says as much about where investors are placing their bets as it does about these two very different companies.

They’re buying into Southeast Asia’s digital transformation story.
