Oakmark International Fund stated the following regarding Coupang, Inc. (NYSE:CPNG) in its Q1 2026 investor letter:
“Coupang, Inc. (NYSE:CPNG) is the leading e-commerce company in South Korea, often compared to Amazon for its wide product selection, strong customer service, and best in class logistics network. Founded in 2010, the company has built its reputation around its “Rocket WOW” system, which offers same-day or next-day shipping on millions of items. What differentiates this service is Coupang’s deeply vertically integrated logistics model. Rather than relying primarily on third-party sellers and carriers, the company owns and operates its fulfillment centers, manages inventory directly, and controls last-mile delivery through its own network. We believe this advantage positions it well to capture market share and expand margins over the long term. Despite Coupang’s e-commerce dominance, its share price has fallen significantly since last November after a cyber breach. We continue to monitor the fallout from the cyber incident but believe this has given us an opportunity to invest in a high-quality company at an attractive valuation.”
