Groupon shares tank on losses
Shares in online deal company Groupon plummeted yesterday after it reported second quarter losses of $22.9m (£13.5m), or three cents a share, on revenue of $751.6m.
During the same period a year ago, it lost $7.8m on $608.7m in sales. The company’s 24 per cent increase in revenue was offset by a jump in spending aimed at making the site more of an e-commerce player.
Groupon shares, down 22 per cent over the past year, fell 14 per cent to $6.10 in after-hours trading.
