Coupang Slides on Q2 Profit and Cash-Flow Miss
Coupang (NYSE:CPNG) took a hit after reporting a mixed Q2 and softer cash flow, edging down 4.3% in after-hours trading. Revenue topped estimates at $8.5 billion, up 16% YoY (19% FX-neutral), with Product Commerce at $7.3 billion (+14%) and Developing Offerings at $1.2 B (+33%). Adjusted EBITDA rose to $428 million from $330 million, and gross profit climbed 20% FX-neutral to $2.6 billion, lifting margins by 79 bps to 30%. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Signs with CPNG. Despite the top-line strength, EPS came in at $0.02 vs. the $0.07 consensus, marking a squeeze after last year's -$0.04 loss. The cash story also disappointed: trailing-12-month operating cash flow fell $297 million to $1.9 billion, while free cash flow plunged $729 million to $784 million, driven by capex timing and working-capital swings the company expects to normalize by year-end. Investors will be watching how quickly Coupang's cash flow stabilizes and whether management's cost controls and capex pacing can shore up FCF. The next read on efficiency should come with Q3 results and updated guidance later this fall. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
