Analysis
Groupon, Inc (GRPN) currently trades at $25.03, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $4.73, implying the stock looks roughly 81.1% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 40/100 (below-average quality), in the Communication Services sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Groupon, Inc generated revenue of $498M at a net margin of -20.8%. It earns a return on equity of -15.2%. Net debt stands at $53.5M. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $3.20 (bear case) to $6.27 (bull case); at $25.03, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 42% below its 52-week high and 173% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at 2% fair-value upside, at -81%, GRPN screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 14 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($11.15) versus Earnings-Based ($1.21). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
