Groupon

Groupon will open its platform to students, independent developers and organizers so they can build products based on Groupon deals and connect their own AI agents. Integrations with ChatGPT and Claude are already live; the AI Builder Pack is expected to become publicly available in October. Groupon provides the deals and handles purchase processing, while developers contribute ideas, audiences and community knowledge; the move is part of the company’s 'AI-first' strategy to attract users and customers for local businesses. » Plus sur de.investing.com

Groupon reported an adjusted loss per share of 4 cents for Q2 2026, in line with expectations, while revenue of $124.68 million missed estimates by 1.9%. Adjusted EBITDA was at the high end of the forecast and free cash flow was positive at $15 million, which boosted investor sentiment and pushed the premarket share price up about 9.15%. Management reported an acceleration in July to mid-single-digit revenue growth, strong growth in managed channels, and is focusing on AI, personalization and the MobileNext migration. For Q3 the company expects billings growth of 4–6%, revenue of $228–230 million and adjusted EBITDA of $19–21 million; the full-year guidance remained unchanged. » Plus sur de.investing.com

Groupon shares climbed sharply before the close as investors bet on strong Q2 2026 results. The consensus sees EPS improving to -$0.06 (versus -$0.32 in the prior quarter); analyst signals and a Zacks estimate have raised expectations of an upside surprise. Additional boosts came from a recent insider filing (Form 4) and the appointment of Aditya Rajkumar as COO. Groupon will report results on August 6 after the close and will hold a conference call to discuss the results on August 7. » Plus sur de.investing.com
