Groupon (GRPN.US) is one of the worst performing US stock today, dropping almost 30%. Slump comes in response to release of Q4 2023 earnings report. The report was not that bad, with the company beating expectations on most metrics. However, revenue, gross billings as well as number of active customers were all lower year-over-year. Nevertheless, the results showed company's turnaround gaining pace in the final quarter of 2023 and today's pullback can be to some extent seen as profit taking following around-140% between mid-November 2023 and mid-March 2024.
