Coupang reported Q2 2026 earnings showing consolidated revenue growth of 10% year-over-year in constant currency, an acceleration from Q1. The South Korean e-commerce company's performance aligned with previous guidance. Product commerce revenue grew 8% year-over-year in constant currency. CEO Bom Kim noted that the vast majority of customer spending remained stable and reached the highest levels in company history, with growth patterns similar to those before last year's data incident. Adjusted EBITDA margin fell within the company's guided range. The earnings call was led by founder and CEO Bom Kim and CFO Gaurav Anand, with Vice President of Investor Relations Michael Parker moderating. The company emphasised that whilst some customer groups showed divergent behaviour, its core customer base continued spending at record levels with consistent growth patterns.
Amazon and Coupang both offer compelling e-commerce opportunities, but with different risk profiles. Amazon generated $716.9 billion in revenue in FY 2025, up 12.4%, with a net margin of 10.8% and free cash flow of $11.2 billion. Its diversified model spans retail, AWS cloud services, digital advertising, and streaming. Coupang, South Korea's e-commerce leader, posted $34.5 billion in revenue, growing 14.1%. However, its net margin was just 0.6% as it prioritises market expansion over profitability. The company is replicating its rapid-delivery model in Taiwan. Amazon offers proven profitability and diversification. Coupang delivers faster growth but remains early-stage, with thin margins and geographic concentration. For conservative investors, Amazon provides stability. Growth-focused investors may favour Coupang's expansion potential despite higher risk.
Coupang reported mixed results for the quarter ended 30 June. Net revenues rose 4% year-over-year to $8.9 billion, but the company swung to an operating loss of $556 million from a profit a year earlier. Roughly $410 million of the loss came from administrative fines in South Korea. Even excluding fines, operating results fell $295 million short of last year. The Developing Offerings segment posted revenues of $1.4 billion, up 20% year-over-year. Active customers reached 24.7 million, up 3% year-over-year. Gross profit fell 3% to $2.5 billion, with margin down 188 basis points to 28.2%. Trailing twelve-month free cash flow dropped to $105 million, down $679 million from a year earlier.
Coupang missed Wall Street's revenue expectations in Q2, with sales rising 3.9% year-on-year to $8.86 billion against estimates of $9.05 billion. The online platform company reported a non-GAAP loss of $0.09 per share, beating analyst consensus of -$0.29. Operating margin fell to -6.3%, down from 1.7% in the same quarter last year. CEO Bom Kim attributed the results to lingering effects from a previous data incident, which led to excess capacity and increased marketing spend. Active customers reached 24.7 million, up 800,000 year-on-year. CFO Gaurav Anand stated the company expects margins to recover by mid-2027 as volumes rebuild and capacity utilisation improves. Management is focusing on wallet share growth and expanding into new markets like Taiwan.
Coupang reported accelerating Q2 2026 revenue growth of 10% in constant currency, driven by recovering high-spending customers and record WOW membership levels following a prior-year data incident. Product Commerce grew 8%, with the majority of customer spending returning to record levels. The company faces near-term margin pressure from maintaining excess capacity and elevated marketing spend to accelerate customer reacquisition. Management expects Product Commerce margins to return to pre-incident levels by mid-2027 as demand rebuilds and capacity utilisation normalises. Coupang recorded a $410 million regulatory fine from Korean authorities, which it is appealing, and a $246 million impact from a July fire at a Korean fulfilment centre. The company projects Q3 revenue growth of 8% to 9%, including headwinds from Chuseok holiday timing.
