These two disagree on this pair: the Value pillar ranks cheapness against sector peers, while price-vs-fair-value is an absolute read. A name can be the better value in its sector and still the dearer one on cash flows.
The DCF is a cross-check on intrinsic value, separate from the quality-growth score above.

The companies
CPNGCoupang, Inc.
Why now
Internet Retail · market cap $29.6b. Down 52% from 52-week high of $34.08 — deep drawdown territory. PEG 0.45 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 18 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $23.82 (implying +45% upside).
Moat
Turnaround / out-of-favor name — GAAP-unprofitable for now, so the durability case is forward-looking: it rests on a recovery (margin normalization, a cyclical upturn or restructuring) or an un-monetized asset (IP / network effects / first-mover position) rather than on current reported results.
Risk
Currently unprofitable (margin -2.2%) — path to GAAP profitability is the core thesis risk. Down 52% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up. ROE -26% is below the long-run sustainable threshold of ~10% — capital efficiency would need to improve for the equity base to compound at the market rate.
SESea Limited
Why now
Internet Retail · market cap $70.9b. Down 42% from 52-week high of $199.30 — deep drawdown territory. Revenue growing +33% — in hypergrowth territory. 28 sell-side analysts rate this a Strong Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $155.29 (implying +34% upside).
Moat
ROE 13% meets the long-run market sustainable threshold — solid but not differentiated; the durability comes from elsewhere. Free cash flow runs well ahead of reported net income — non-cash charges (depreciation, intangible amortization) are holding down GAAP earnings while cash generation stays strong. $70.9b market cap gives the company enough scale to absorb fixed costs that subscale competitors can't, without yet being so large that growth has to come from acquisition.
Risk
Down 42% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up. Beta 1.51 implies above-market volatility — position-size to the drawdowns this name will produce in a market correction, not to its bull-case return. Trailing P/E 46x sits well above the S&P median (~20x) — multiple compression is a real risk if revenue growth decelerates.

Where CPNG and SE diverge
On the headline score the gap is 21.5 points in favor of SE. They get there differently, though — each leads on a different pillar, so the better pick depends on which you weight.

- GrowthCPNG 71.7 · SE 96.5SE +24.8
- ValueCPNG 68.1 · SE 56.3CPNG +11.8
Pillars run 0–100 against sector peers, so a score is a statement about a company relative to its own industry rather than to the other name here. A wide Value gap usually means the market already prices the difference in quality or growth — which is the trade-off this comparison comes down to.
