Coupang Warns of Profit Hit as Data Leak Fallout Deepens Losses
Coupang said it expects lower profitability in the months ahead as higher marketing costs weigh on results. It projected third-quarter EBITDA margins will shrink by 300 to 400 basis points, with the main product commerce segment improving only by mid-2027. The company also reported a larger-than-expected loss, tied to damage from a major personal data leak and resulting heavy administrative fines in South Korea.
