Where Groupon Stands With Analysts

Roth Capital Maintains Buy on Groupon, Raises Price Target to $47

On Wednesday, Groupon Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRPN#NASDAQ">GRPN</a>) announced a new financing strategy involving the issuance of $244 million in senior convertible notes due 2030, as part of a privately arranged exchange with holders of its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/45992422/groupon-announces-244-million-financing-transaction" rel="noreferrer noopener">existing 2026 and 2027 notes</a>.
The company revealed this initiative as a proactive move to restructure its outstanding debt and extend maturities while offering a higher conversion premium to noteholders.
The restructuring involves two key exchanges: $20 million worth of 1.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 and $150 million of 6.25% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2027 will be converted into a total of $244.07 million in new 4.875% Convertible Senior Notes maturing in 2030.

The newly issued 2030 Notes will offer a 4.875% coupon and may be settled in cash, common stock, or a mix of both at Groupon's discretion. With an initial conversion rate translating to roughly $54.04 per share, the notes reflect a 50% premium to the stock's closing price on June 17, 2025. Groupon also retains the option to redeem the notes starting in July 2028, contingent on the stock trading above 130% of the conversion price for 20 out of 30 trading days.
As part of the agreement, about 76% of holders of the 2027 Notes have consented to proposed changes to their note terms, effectively removing most restrictive covenants and releasing related collateral.
These changes will take effect upon the closing of the exchange, expected around July 2, 2025, pending standard closing conditions.
This debt realignment gives Groupon greater financial flexibility and reduces its secured debt burden while extending maturities.
Price Action: GRPN shares are trading higher by 0.46% to $36.20 at last check on Wednesday.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Rethinking Bear Market Rally Strategy&nbsp;</h1>
In yesterday&#8217;s post (&#8220;<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2025-05-08/still-bear-market-rally">Is This Still A Bear Market Rally?</a>&#8220;), we mentioned why that question mattered:
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">We&#8217;ve got a source of alpha that works well during market rallies: Portfolio Armor&#8217;s top ten names. Since December of 2022, our weekly&nbsp;<a href="https://portfolioarmor.com/performance-top-names">top ten names</a>&nbsp;have averaged returns of 17.03% over the next six months, versus 10.75% for the&nbsp;SPDR S&amp;P 500 Trust&nbsp;(SPY). If this is a new bull market, it makes sense to start buying those top names again now, or placing bullish options trades on them. But if this is a bear market rally, it makes sense to wait.&nbsp;
</blockquote>
What happened on Thursday prompted us to rethink that. Two of Portfolio Armor&#8217;s top ten names from earlier in the week, Groupon, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRPN#NASDAQ">GRPN</a>) and D-Wave Quantum, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QBTS#NYSE">QBTS</a>)&#8230;
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="777" height="637" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/09095031/PA-Top-Names.png" alt="" class="wp-image-12689" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/09095031/PA-Top-Names.png 777w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/09095031/PA-Top-Names-300x246.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/09095031/PA-Top-Names-768x630.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 777px) 100vw, 777px" /></figure>
&#8230;Exploded higher on the day, up&nbsp;~42%&nbsp;and&nbsp;~51%, respectively. Both moves were tied to near-term catalysts:&nbsp;earnings reports.
Here's what their charts looked like:

These weren't lottery ticket plays. These were data-driven selections by the Portfolio Armor system, combined with catalysts.
Which brings us to a tactical update.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Avoidance to Precision</h2>
If we are in a bear market rally—and signs still point that way—then broad, passive exposure is a blunt instrument. What we need instead is&nbsp;precision exposure: to names flagged by the model&nbsp;and&nbsp;poised to move on identifiable catalysts.
So, the revised approach:
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">&#x1f50d;&nbsp;Buy call options on top-ranked names from the Portfolio Armor system that have near-term catalysts, like earnings.
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">&#x23f3;&nbsp;Time the entry in the days leading up to the catalyst, and select expirations&nbsp;a few weeks out&nbsp;to absorb IV crush and capture any momentum continuation.
</blockquote>
This is key:&nbsp;we're not chasing the move after earnings—we're positioning for it ahead of time, using the system's statistical edge to identify names likely to outperform, and catalysts as accelerants.&nbsp;
We had success with trading our top names during the bull market. It&#8217;s time to apply it to the bear market rally.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Managing Volatility and Risk</h2>
Implied volatility tends to rise into events and collapse immediately afterward—a phenomenon known as&nbsp;IV crush. That's what punishes short-term call buyers who target weekly expiries.
To reduce that damage, the answer isn't avoiding the event—it's&nbsp;buying a little time. Choosing expiries 2–3 weeks past the catalyst lets you:
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Hold through the event without binary pressure, and</li>
<li>Potentially ride post-event continuation, if the name trends as it did with GRPN and QBTS.</li>
</ol>
This isn't about gaming volatility—it's about giving the trade room to work.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why This Works—Even in a Bear Market Rally</h2>
Bear market rallies are notorious for their fragility. Breadth is thin. Participation is uneven. But that's exactly why this works: the moves that&nbsp;do&nbsp;happen tend to be&nbsp;violent, especially when sparked by strong catalysts.
GRPN and QBTS weren't just good picks—they were&nbsp;correctly timed&nbsp;good picks. The Portfolio Armor system surfaced them, but it was the earnings schedule that amplified the opportunity.
It's not enough to know what names have edge; you need to know when that edge is likely to express itself.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Passive to Surgical</h2>
Thursday's action served as a reminder: even in a cautious market, there are trades worth taking. Not in bulk. Not indiscriminately. But selectively, where&nbsp;signal meets narrative.
This revised playbook doesn't abandon caution; it refines it.
We'll continue watching for top Portfolio Armor names with near-term events—earnings, guidance, product news. And we'll be using&nbsp;options—not stock—to target those asymmetric bursts, minimizing downside while preserving explosive upside.
It's not about ignoring the macro. It's about executing tactically within it.
