Benchmark downgraded Groupon, Inc. (NASDAQ: GRPN) from Buy to Hold with a price target of $7.00 (from $20.00).
Analyst, Clayton F. Moran, said, "2Q12 subscriber growth slowed meaningfully. Gross billing per subscriber dropped materially. This drove gross billings down sequentially. This was discouraging enough but 3Q operating income guidance implies a sequential contraction in EBITDA margin. It appears the daily deal business has run into a wall, with some blame going to the European recession. We believe the weak trends are likely to persist."
