[Featured Stock] Korea Center, Helper for Coupang Marketplace Growth... Coupang's Soaring Valuation

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] Korea Center is showing strong performance. The news that it is collaborating with Coupang seems to be influencing its stock price.

At 9:13 AM on the 10th, Korea Center was trading at 9,430 won, up 18.02% from the previous day.

On the previous day, an economic newspaper reported that Coupang is collaborating with Korea Center's 'PlayAuto Service' on the 'Coupang Marketplace' it operates.

When using Korea Center's PlayAuto product registration solution, sellers who are selling products on domestic and international open markets or online shopping malls can simply enter basic information into Coupang's web solution, enabling product registration along with inventory management and product modification.

The Coupang Marketplace site explains that "with just a few clicks on the PlayAuto product registration solution, all products can be registered at once to fit Coupang, regardless of the number of products."

Not only Coupang, but major overseas shopping mall platforms such as Amazon, eBay, Walmart, and Shopify operate intermediary connection programs that link sellers and shopping mall platforms. These connection programs enjoy increased sales and related synergy effects.

It is expected that if Coupang strengthens cooperation with Korea Center's PlayAuto, sales on the Coupang Marketplace will rapidly increase.

Coupang, listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), has raised its expected IPO price to $32?$34 per share (approximately 36,432?38,709 won). The previously proposed IPO price range in the investment prospectus was $27?$30 per share. Based on the upper limit of $34, Coupang is expected to raise up to $4.08 billion (approximately 4.6451 trillion won). Coupang's corporate value reaches $58 billion (approximately 66 trillion won).
