• TIVP002: Coupang (CPNG): The Amazon of South Korea w/ Shawn O’Malley
    Jan 12 2025
    In today’s episode, Shawn O’Malley (@Shawn_OMalley_) tells the story of Coupang, the “Amazon of South Korea.” Coupang’s Bom Kim is an impressive founder & CEO who has led the company to incredible growth, with almost half of South Korea’s population becoming active customers of Coupang.

But how well does this all translate into value for Coupang’s shareholders? In today’s episode, you’ll learn the origin story behind Coupang, how its business model works, why its stock has flopped since IPOing in 2021, how Shawn thinks about its valuation, and whether he wants to add it to The Intrinsic Value Portfolio, plus so much more!
