Stock Market Today, May 6: Coupang Shares Slide As the Company's $1.2 Billion Voucher Program Hits Financials

Coupang shares fell 13.70% to $17.91 after Q1 results showed revenue up 8% but a sharp swing to net losses. The loss was attributed to costs tied to last year’s data breach, making cybersecurity expenses and margin pressure the key takeaways. The move is likely to affect the stock materially, but the news is company-specific rather than sector-wide.
