Just noticed GRPN closed down 1.53% today while the broader market only dropped 1.33%. Kinda interesting because the stock's been lagging the broader indices for a bit now. The Nasdaq was down 1.59% and the Dow fell 0.95%, so GRPN actually underperformed compared to the broader tech sell-off we saw.



Looking at the fundamentals, they've got earnings coming up on March 10 and analysts are projecting some solid growth. EPS is expected to hit $0.17, which would be up over 114% year-over-year. Revenue estimates are around $137.17 million for the quarter, up 5.2% from last year. For the full year though, they're looking at a loss of $2.11 per share, though revenue is still projected to grow 2.1% to around $502.88 million.

One thing that caught my eye is the valuation. GRPN's trading at a Forward P/E of 18.58, which is above the broader industry average of 15.83. So it's commanding a premium even though the Internet-Commerce industry itself is in the bottom 40% of sectors. The Zacks Rank is sitting at #3 (Hold), and interestingly, EPS estimates have moved down 9.91% over the last month.

The broader market dynamics seem to be working against this one right now. It's worth keeping an eye on how the earnings actually play out compared to these projections.
