Groupon Inc. (Nasdaq: GRPN) is a local e-commerce marketplace that connects merchants to consumers by offering goods and services at a discount. The company has a market capitalization of $4.3 billion. It is expected to report FY2012 second-quarter EPS of 3 cent on revenue of $573.13 million.

Recommendation
We believe that Groupon is well positioned to gain from increasing e-commerce spending on mobile devices, profitable domestic market and an under penetrated international market. We expect these opportunities to continue to drive top-line growth going forward. Moreover, Groupon enjoys a first-mover advantage in the daily deals market based on its well-recognized discount coupons.
