1 Wall Street Analyst Thinks Coupang Stock Is Going to $32. Is It a Buy Around $22?

After reporting earnings on May 7, shares of South Korean e-commerce juggernaut Coupang (NYSE: CPNG) dropped by more than 10% in a single day. Missing consensus earnings-per-share (EPS) estimates by one penny, Coupang spooked the market, bringing in a mere $5 million in net income versus $7.1 billion in sales.

However, underneath these headline figures hide a number of reasons for optimism, prompting Barclays analyst Jiong Shao to raise his price target from $25 to $32, implying around 41% upside in the company's shares over the next year or so.

Here's what those hidden figures show us and why I believe Shao could be proven correct.
