Reason

Northland named Groupon a 2026 Top Pick, citing what it the analyst calls "one of the most compelling risk-reward scenarios in our coverage universe." Recent results reflecting a return to growth, a "dramatically improved" balance sheet, and steady execution after missteps in past years have gone underappreciated by the Street, argues the analyst, who has an Outperform rating and $42 price target on shares.
