News Summary:

On August 7, 2026, Coupang reported second-quarter revenue of US$8.9 billion but incurred a $570 million loss, a significant reversal from the $149 million operating income and marginal net profit recorded in the same period last year. The online platform company missed Wall Street's revenue expectations, with sales rising 3.9% year-on-year to $8.86 billion, and its non-GAAP loss of $0.09 per share was 69.1% above analysts' consensus estimates. Management characterized the loss as temporary. Separately, four Republican lawmakers, including the chairman of the US House Judiciary Committee, sent a letter of protest to the Korean government on the same day, arguing that Korea's revised Network Act "could chill freedom of expression" and potentially target US companies. Coupang also announced it significantly improved its customer shopping experience by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) technology across the entire process, from product discovery to purchase decisions, including a "Product at a Glance" feature applied to major categories.
