One of this year's hottest stocks is still not a household name for most U.S. investors. Sea Limited is a fast-growing provider of online platforms in Southeast Asia.

Its flagship online gaming platform was the relative laggard, and even there it came through with a 73% year-over-year revenue surge. There are now 572.4 million players on the platform. The stock has soared nearly fivefold in 2020, but until it becomes a household name outside of its home turf the ceiling remains high. <<<
