Coupang, Inc. (NYSE:CPNG) is among the most promising growth stocks according to analysts. According to an Investing.com report, Morgan Stanley maintained an ‘Overweight’ rating on Coupang, Inc. (NYSE:CPNG), as well as a price target of $31. This reaffirmation, suggesting an upside potential of about 40%, follows earlier updates related to a user data breach.
The analysts pointed out that the recent breach, which happened over the past month, has led to increased regulatory risk for the South Korean e-commerce giant. Morgan Stanley believes these risks will continue to be a drag on the stock and thus, push for additional resources. With that said, the firm expects market sentiment to remain muted until there is a clear result of the current investigations into the data breach. Despite near-term headwinds, Morgan Stanley is optimistic about the company’s long-term prospects.
