- Class Action Initiated: Coupang is facing a class action lawsuit from investors who purchased securities between August 6 and December 16, 2025, with a filing deadline of February 17, 2026, potentially exposing the company to significant financial liabilities.
- Data Breach Impact: Following the breach affecting 33.7 million customer accounts, Coupang's stock price fell by 5.36% to $26.65 on December 1, 2025, indicating a loss of investor confidence in the company's data security management.
- CEO Resignation Consequences: The resignation of Coupang's CEO due to the data breach led to a further 3.2% drop in stock price to $26.06 on December 10, 2025, reflecting the company's governance weaknesses and its negative impact on market confidence.
- Regulatory Scrutiny Intensifies: Coupang acknowledged the breach in an SEC filing, resulting in the stock price declining to $22.72 on December 17, 2025, a 2.03% drop, highlighting the increasing regulatory pressure and legal risks that could affect future operations and investor trust.
