Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Communication Services is in steady. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
Primary pillar under pressure — Revenue growth to at least $518 million in 2026: FY26 rev guide $513M-$523M vs $518M target.
View ThesisRevenue is growing steadily — about 2% over the past year.
View GrowthMiddle-of-the-pack management execution.
View ManagementExpectations look reasonable — what the market is pricing in sits in line with or below what analysts forecast.
View ValuationThis stock is volatile — it swings about 3% on a typical day and fell roughly 59% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskGroupon's growth depends on executing its AI-native transformation and restructuring plan. Revenue growth needs to reach at least $518 million in 2026. Last quarter, revenue beat expectations, showing positive momentum. The stock trades at 1.5× price-to-sales, above the peer median of 1.0×. This suggests the price reflects modest growth compared to our view. If Groupon cuts guidance, it could negatively impact the stock. Our read shows peer multiples imply a price about 10% above where it trades. This read is provisional, and the thesis is on watch.
