NEW YORK - Groupon Inc . (NASDAQ:GRPN) shares soared 15.3% in after-hours trading on Monday after the local experiences marketplace reported fourth-quarter revenue that topped analyst expectations and provided an optimistic outlook for 2025.
The Chicago-based company posted revenue of $130.4 million for the quarter, exceeding the consensus estimate of $127.74 million. However, Groupon reported a loss of $1.20 per share, compared to earnings of $0.76 per share in the year-ago quarter.
