After its American depositary receipts fell to US$120.52 on Wednesday in New York, the Singapore-based online corporation was surpassed by Indonesian lender PT Bank Central Asia. Its market value has dropped from a high of US$202.6 billion in October to US$66.9 billion today. Bank Central Asia has a market capitalization of US$68.5 billion, whereas Singapore's DBS Group Holdings Ltd. has a market capitalization of US$66.1 billion.

According to Bloomberg statistics, Franklin Dynatech Fund and Blackrock Capital Appreciation Fund Inc. were among asset managers that reduced their positions in Sea in January.
