GRPN is an interesting stock. It ebbs and flows with the annual public sentiment towards services like GRPN and the performance of its competitors.
- Revenue declining year on year https://imgur.com/a/yIbOSjL, peaking in 2014
- -60% vs S&P 1y, -76% 5y
- They hold 2.4% of SumUp's stock vs. an anticipated 5%
- But a recent slashing of marketing spend on a path to profitability
I don't see it going to zero tomorrow but would anyone be surprised to see them wind up operations in five years citing market trends shifting and become obsolete?
Why can't a competitor just replicate everything in GRPN's inventory tomorrow?
I can't see any bull case at all apart from a few % points if a catalyst materialize. But that alone makes it a sell. What am I missing?
