Key Factors to Note

Solid momentum across the local category in the North American region is expected to have been a major growth driver of the company during the quarter under review.

Increasing focus on rebuilding its performance marketing channels, reducing reliance on promotional spending and improving supply quality through sales transformation efforts is likely to have contributed well to its top-line growth in the second quarter of 2024.

Rising demand across its enterprise customers is expected to have been a tailwind for the company in the to-be-reported quarter.

Growing momentum in Groupon’s things to do vertical is expected to have aided its revenue growth in the quarter under review.

Groupon’s increasing efforts to improve deal recommendations on the back of AI are likely to have boosted its performance in the second quarter.

However, sluggishness in its goods categories and a weakening international market are expected to have been major headwinds for the company.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Goods revenues stands at $5.41 million, indicating a decline of 36.4% from the year-ago reported figure.

The consensus estimate for International revenues is pegged at $30.34 million, suggesting a fall of 8.8% year over year.

Growing site performance issues in North America’s travel market are expected to have negatively impacted the region’s gross billings.
