Brown Advisory Mid-Cap Growth Strategy stated the following regarding Coupang, Inc. (NYSE:CPNG) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:

“While we were content with full-year results, several small detractors held fourth-quarter performance back by about 1%-2% in total for company-specific reasons that we generally view as temporary. Coupang, Inc. (NYSE:CPNG) shares were pressured following a large-scale data breach late in the year. Ongoing government investigations and the potential for financial penalties remain an overhang.” (Click Here To Read The Letter in Detail)
