to be profitable in the future.</p><p>That’s the advice Daniel Yoo, head of global asset allocation at Yuanta Securities, Korea, has for clients.</p><p>“What you really need to know is whether or not, in the business environment of Korea and e-commerce, can they be able to generate a huge, profitable return on capital,” Yoo said Thursday on CNBC’s “Street Signs Asia.”</p><p>Coupang is set to debut on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker “CPNG” later in the day when U.S. markets open.</p><p>The company said it had&nbsp;priced 130 million shares at $35 apiece, raising $4.55 billion and valuing the company around $60 billion. That makes Coupang the largest IPO in the U.S. this year and one of the&nbsp;top 25 biggest listings of all time stateside, by deal size.</p><p>The price is also above the company’s most recent&nbsp;expected range&nbsp;of between $32 and $34 a share.</p><p><b>Market leader</b></p><p>Yoo explained that the valuation and IPO price likely rose because Coupang is the only e-commerce company in South Korea that showed a sizeable gain in market share last year. He said its market size rose from 18.1% in 2019 to about 24.6% last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.</p><p>“Most of the other competitors really did not show any type of changes in terms of market share,” he said. Coupang’s rivals include eBay-owned Gmarket, WeMakePrice, Naver Shopping among others.</p><p>“The fact is that (Coupang is) becoming the biggest e-commerce business within Korea and 24% market share, I think, it might actually even rise further,” Yoo said. “It is possible that they can actually gain as much as 30%+ over the next few years.” That, he explained, would justify why the company’s IPO price has increased.</p><p>Coupang’s regulatory filing showed the company sustained losses over eight quarters through Dec. 31. But a sharp jump in sales last year helped narrow net losses from $770.2 million in 2019 to $567.6 million in 2020</p><p><b>Comparisons with Alibaba, Amazon</b></p><p>The company, whose prominent backers include SoftBank’s Vision Fund and Sequoia Capital, has drawn comparisons with&nbsp;Amazon&nbsp;and&nbsp;Alibaba. Those firms have become tech behemoths after making their public debuts.</p><p>But Yoo said that the consumer markets in the U.S. and China are significantly larger than South Korea. So, even if Coupang is able to increase its market share, he said it is unlikely to see the same kind of sales growth the other two companies saw in the last decade.</p><p>South Korea’s e-commerce market has an estimated value of $90.1 billion in 2020 with an annual growth rate of 22.3%, according to&nbsp;data analytics firm GlobalData. That is expected to grow at a compounded annual rate of 12% to reach $141.8 billion in 2024.</p><p>Spending some of its IPO proceeds on building out a strong distribution platform within Korea could benefit Coupang, according to Yoo.</p><p>The e-commerce firm was founded by Korean-American billionaire Bom Suk Kim in 2010 and is headquartered in Seoul. It has more than 100 fulfilment and logistics centers in over 30 cities that provide next-day delivery for orders placed before midnight. Coupang employs 15,000 drivers in South Korea for its deliveries and has branched out into other services such as food and grocery delivery.</p><p></p><p></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Coupang spikes 85% on its first day of trading</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nCoupang spikes 85% on its first day of trading\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<a class=\"head\" href=\"https://laohu8.com/wemedia/1079075236\">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Tiger Newspress </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2021-03-12 01:27</p>\n</div>\n\n</a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<p>Coupang shares opened at $64.8&nbsp;each on Thursday, about 85% higher than the company’s IPO price.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6d8a7bec648b4a2f82e6b4923e6d594e\" tg-width=\"1843\" tg-height=\"913\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Investors looking to buy shares of South Korean e-commerce firm&nbsp;Coupang&nbsp;when it goes public in New York should consider if the company has what it takes to be profitable in the future.</p><p>That’s the advice Daniel Yoo, head of global asset allocation at Yuanta Securities, Korea, has for clients.</p><p>“What you really need to know is whether or not, in the business environment of Korea and e-commerce, can they be able to generate a huge, profitable return on capital,” Yoo said Thursday on CNBC’s “Street Signs Asia.”</p><p>Coupang is set to debut on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker “CPNG” later in the day when U.S. markets open.</p><p>The company said it had&nbsp;priced 130 million shares at $35 apiece, raising $4.55 billion and valuing the company around $60 billion.

In its investor presentationlast week, the company said it plans to shell out even more to creators to incentive higher-quality content and fund bigger teams of engineers, designers, artists and producers.What is Roblox?Roblox is a free online platform that features tens of millions of multiplayer games made by its own players with tools the company provides. The games range from obstacle-course challenges and iterations of capture the flag to contests based on popular characters such as Peppa Pig and Sonic the Hedgehog. Company officials have said they are interested in increasing the use of Roblox for things such as virtual concerts and meetings.Who plays Roblox and how?Roblox is accessible on computers, consoles and mobile devices. The company said it had roughly 33 million daily users last year, of whom more than half are under the age of 13. Players in Roblox appear in the form of customizable avatars.Roblox’s Covid boomRoblox has been a huge beneficiary of the Covid-19 shutdowns, which forced kids out of the classroom and away from their friends. With no school to attend and birthday parties canceled,kids turned to Roblox, where they can socialize virtually, navigating theme parks, attending concerts and playing action games while also staying in touch using its popular text chat feature.Daily active users jumped 85% in 2020 to 32.6 million. The number of hours that players spent on the app more than doubled to 30.6 billion.That unexpected and unprecedented growth has created some challenges around its developer community. The company has had to contend with an influx ofspammers and scammers who are out to take advantage of some of the millions of kids who are ready and willing to spend their parents money on Robux.In-game pop-ups lure users with the promise of free Robux if they fill out a survey, only to reroute them to other sites where there’s no Robux and even more spam. In some cases, Roblox developers unknowingly install a malicious plug-in from the game development studio, infecting their own game.“Because of the popularity of our platform, we believe that we are an attractive target for these sorts of attacks,” Roblox said in its prospectus. The company said it’s investing to make sure outside parties can’t access user data and to prevent phishing, spamming and malware as much as possible.Roblox’s second-biggest expense, behind developer fees, is infrastructure, privacy and safety. Those costs jumped 69% last year to $264.2 million.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":41,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":321883267,"gmtCreate":1615421985459,"gmtModify":1704782509950,"author":{"id":"3574837351216492","authorId":"3574837351216492","authorIdStr":"3574837351216492","name":"pirataking","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fe1f2672002cc59b6eccf1f0f187e9a","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574837351216492"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cmon

Newspress","summary":"Coupang shares opened at $64.8 each on Thursday, about 85% higher than the company’s IPO price.Inves","content":"<p>Coupang shares opened at $64.8&nbsp;each on Thursday, about 85% higher than the company’s IPO price.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6d8a7bec648b4a2f82e6b4923e6d594e\" tg-width=\"1843\" tg-height=\"913\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Investors looking to buy shares of South Korean e-commerce firm&nbsp;Coupang&nbsp;when it goes public in New York should consider if the company has what it takes to be profitable in the future.</p><p>That’s the advice Daniel Yoo, head of global asset allocation at Yuanta Securities, Korea, has for clients.</p><p>“What you really need to know is whether or not, in the business environment of Korea and e-commerce, can they be able to generate a huge, profitable return on capital,” Yoo said Thursday on CNBC’s “Street Signs Asia.”</p><p>Coupang is set to debut on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker “CPNG” later in the day when U.S. markets open.</p><p>The company said it had&nbsp;priced 130 million shares at $35 apiece, raising $4.55 billion and valuing the company around $60 billion. That makes Coupang the largest IPO in the U.S. this year and one of the&nbsp;top 25 biggest listings of all time stateside, by deal size.</p><p>The price is also above the company’s most recent&nbsp;expected range&nbsp;of between $32 and $34 a share.</p><p><b>Market leader</b></p><p>Yoo explained that the valuation and IPO price likely rose because Coupang is the only e-commerce company in South Korea that showed a sizeable gain in market share last year. He said its market size rose from 18.1% in 2019 to about 24.6% last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.</p><p>“Most of the other competitors really did not show any type of changes in terms of market share,” he said. Coupang’s rivals include eBay-owned Gmarket, WeMakePrice, Naver Shopping among others.</p><p>“The fact is that (Coupang is) becoming the biggest e-commerce business within Korea and 24% market share, I think, it might actually even rise further,” Yoo said. “It is possible that they can actually gain as much as 30%+ over the next few years.” That, he explained, would justify why the company’s IPO price has increased.</p><p>Coupang’s regulatory filing showed the company sustained losses over eight quarters through Dec. 31. But a sharp jump in sales last year helped narrow net losses from $770.2 million in 2019 to $567.6 million in 2020</p><p><b>Comparisons with Alibaba, Amazon</b></p><p>The company, whose prominent backers include SoftBank’s Vision Fund and Sequoia Capital, has drawn comparisons with&nbsp;Amazon&nbsp;and&nbsp;Alibaba. Those firms have become tech behemoths after making their public debuts.</p><p>But Yoo said that the consumer markets in the U.S. and China are significantly larger than South Korea. So, even if Coupang is able to increase its market share, he said it is unlikely to see the same kind of sales growth the other two companies saw in the last decade.</p><p>South Korea’s e-commerce market has an estimated value of $90.1 billion in 2020 with an annual growth rate of 22.3%, according to&nbsp;data analytics firm GlobalData.

Company officials have said they are interested in increasing the use of Roblox for things such as virtual concerts and meetings.Who plays Roblox and how?Roblox is accessible on computers, consoles and mobile devices. The company said it had roughly 33 million daily users last year, of whom more than half are under the age of 13. Players in Roblox appear in the form of customizable avatars.Roblox’s Covid boomRoblox has been a huge beneficiary of the Covid-19 shutdowns, which forced kids out of the classroom and away from their friends. With no school to attend and birthday parties canceled,kids turned to Roblox, where they can socialize virtually, navigating theme parks, attending concerts and playing action games while also staying in touch using its popular text chat feature.Daily active users jumped 85% in 2020 to 32.6 million. The number of hours that players spent on the app more than doubled to 30.6 billion.That unexpected and unprecedented growth has created some challenges around its developer community. The company has had to contend with an influx ofspammers and scammers who are out to take advantage of some of the millions of kids who are ready and willing to spend their parents money on Robux.In-game pop-ups lure users with the promise of free Robux if they fill out a survey, only to reroute them to other sites where there’s no Robux and even more spam. In some cases, Roblox developers unknowingly install a malicious plug-in from the game development studio, infecting their own game.“Because of the popularity of our platform, we believe that we are an attractive target for these sorts of attacks,” Roblox said in its prospectus. The company said it’s investing to make sure outside parties can’t access user data and to prevent phishing, spamming and malware as much as possible.Roblox’s second-biggest expense, behind developer fees, is infrastructure, privacy and safety. Those costs jumped 69% last year to $264.2 million.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":41,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":328126753,"gmtCreate":1615507979772,"gmtModify":1704783770825,"author":{"id":"3574837351216492","authorId":"3574837351216492","authorIdStr":"3574837351216492","name":"pirataking","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fe1f2672002cc59b6eccf1f0f187e9a","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574837351216492"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?will it continue ?","listText":"?will it continue ?","text":"?will it continue ?","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5707ee63bb643aaa10ea05b15388c666","width":"1080","height":"1919"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/328126753","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":49,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":321883267,"gmtCreate":1615421985459,"gmtModify":1704782509950,"author":{"id":"3574837351216492","authorId":"3574837351216492","authorIdStr":"3574837351216492","name":"pirataking","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fe1f2672002cc59b6eccf1f0f187e9a","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574837351216492"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cmon rise more","listText":"Cmon rise more","text":"Cmon rise more","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7804a8b93f6f40e7ed386120fdcc5266","width":"1080","height":"1919"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/321883267","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":63,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
