On June 10, Coupang fell 5.19% in regular trading, trading at $15.065/share, with trading volume of $458 million.
On the news front, Korea's Fair Trade Commission imposed a 500 million won fine on Coupang's Korean subsidiary for misleading advertising related to paid membership discounts, representing the maximum penalty allowed under current law. Notably, the Korean National Assembly is currently discussing raising the misleading advertising fine cap from 500 million won to 5 billion won, signaling a tightening regulatory environment. This penalty comes on top of a prior data breach incident affecting over 33 million users, for which Korea's Personal Information Protection Committee has launched an investigation with potential fines reaching up to 1.5 trillion won.
Within the Broadline Retail sector, the overall sector showed broad weakness. Among individual stocks, Amazon down 2.4%, Alibaba down 3.46%, MercadoLibre down 3.15%, PDD Holdings down 0.05%, eBay down 2.01%. Sector-wide selling pressure compounded Coupang's company-specific regulatory headwinds.
