Coupang $CPNG, South Korea's eCom marketplace IPO.

$12B in Rev, growing at 91% YoY, $500M loss, seeking $50Bvaluation

Comparables.
$MELI ~$5B in Rev, $96B Mcap
$PDD $9B Rev, $196B Mcap
$SE $5B Rev, $141B Mcap

I thinks this FLIES on debut.

Two more data points to compare:
Growth:
1 $MELI 97% YoY
2 $SE 103% YoY
3 $PDD 96% YoY
4 $CPNG 91% YoY
5 $OZON 73% YoY, $13B MCap
One cautionary tale is $JMIA - 2 years to IPO day of listing price it has reached its listing price.

$CPNG - growth is escalating. Revenues grew faster during Covid (obviously), as good as $PTON growth at 3X the revenue.
Superb differentiators
