SEA is set to release its third-quarter 2026 earnings before the market opens on November 10, with analysts forecasting $0.973 per share in earnings and $8.08 billion in revenue. This follows a prior quarter where the company reported $0.70 EPS—missing expectations by $0.16 despite posting a 48.3% year-over-year revenue increase to $7.79 billion.
