Coupang Stock is Down 70% From Its High. Time to Buy?
Coupang (NYSE: CPNG), one of the largest e-commerce companies in South Korea, posted its fourth-quarter report on Feb. 28. Its revenue rose 5% year over year (and 21% in constant currency terms) to $5.3 billion, but missed analysts' estimates by $70 million. It generated a net profit of $102 million, compared to its net loss of $405 million a year earlier, while its earnings of $0.06 per share cleared the consensus forecast by two cents.
That marked its second consecutive quarter of profitability on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis. On an adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) basis, it posted a profit of $211 million compared to a loss of $285 million a year ago.
