Ascendiant Capital maintains a 'Sell' on Groupon, Inc. (NASDAQ: GRPN) price target of $3.50 (from $5.00).

Analyst, Edward Woo, said, "We believe uncertainties with Groupon have increased recently due to staff turnover and competition. In our view, the restatement and weakness in controls and slowing growth are likely to bolster continued skepticism as to Groupon’s valuation, growth prospects, and profit potential despite its now lower valuation and multiples."

FY12 EPS estimate lowered from $0.19 to $0.15. FY12 revenues from $2.38B to $2.35B. FY13 EPS estimate cut from $0.50 to $0.35 and revenues from $3.0B to $2.74B.
