Shares of Groupon (NASDAQ:GRPN) have been rising steadily over the past few years, but are they currently undervalued advance of the company’s Q4 report?
Together with its companies, Groupon, Inc. runs a marketplace that links customers and retailers. North America and International are its two operational divisions. In addition to first-party goods inventory, the business also sells products or services on behalf of third-party retailers. Through its websites and mobile apps, it provides customer service.
Recently, a number of additional hedge funds have modified their holdings in the business. In the second quarter, OLD Mission Capital LLC bought additional Groupon shares for about $250,000. Verus Capital Partners LLC added a new stake worth about $162,000 in Groupon shares during the second quarter.
Mizuho Markets Americas LLC raised its holdings in Groupon shares by 4.2% during the second quarter. Mizuho Markets Americas LLC now owns 127,917 shares of the coupon company’s stock valued at $1,445,000 after purchasing an additional 5,100 shares in the last quarter.
During the first quarter, Ergoteles LLC added a new $276,000 position in Groupon. Raymond James & Associates invested about $273,000 in a fresh Groupon position during the first quarter. 57.11 percent of the company is held by institutional investors.

Other notable Groupon purchases include those by Morgan Stanly, Maple Rock, and Intrinsic Edge Capital. Maple Rock added 2 million shares (bringing its share count to 3 million, or 9.9%), while Morgan Stanly added 1.25 million shares (bringing its total to 1.75 million). Only 200k shares in the previous 4 months were covered by short positions on Groupon.
Etsy is currently trading at $133.50 and Groupon is trading currently at $7.53. If you compare both companies Groupon can easily bounce back by end of 2023 which makes it a better investment and buy opportunity for the savvy investor.
I prefer GRPN over profits here. The value is reasonable, and even a rise to $30-$40 would leave it cheap in comparison to past prices with other retailers.
