Yahoo Finance What Is Groupon, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GRPN) Share Price Doing?
Groupon, Inc. (NASDAQ:GRPN), which is in the online retail business, and is based in United States, saw a decent share price growth in the teens level on the NASDAQGS over the last few months. With many analysts covering the mid-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. However, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Let’s examine Groupon’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

Is Groupon still cheap?
Good news, investors! Groupon is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is $4.6, but it is currently trading at US$3.56 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. What’s more interesting is that, Groupon’s share price is quite volatile, which gives us more chances to buy since the share price could sink lower (or rise higher) in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.
What kind of growth will Groupon generate?
Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let’s also take a look at the company's future expectations. However, with an expected decline of -5.1% in revenues over the next couple of years, near-term growth certainly doesn’t appear to be a driver for a buy decision for Groupon. This certainty tips the risk-return scale towards higher risk.
What this means for you:
Are you a shareholder? Although GRPN is currently undervalued, the adverse prospect of negative growth brings about some degree of risk. Consider whether you want to increase your portfolio exposure to GRPN, or whether diversifying into another stock may be a better move for your total risk and return.
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on GRPN for some time, but hesitant on making the leap, I recommend you dig deeper into the stock. Given its current undervaluation, now is a great time to make a decision. But keep in mind the risks that come with negative growth prospects in the future.
